Just working through my Radiotherapy treatment.  Slowly getting tired each day.

Can I take any vitamins ? 

I was thinking can I take Vitamin D   B12 and Iron , magnesium 

  • Hi Pink68

    Good question, this is something I've been wondering too, what are the best vitamins to take? I've also been taken off all hrt and had to have my coil removed (as I'm ER and PR +ve) so was thinking about vitamin C and Calcium too? Hopefully someone will be able to help?

  • Hi Pink68

    I suggest that you check with your radiotherapy nurse about what vitamins would be suitable to take.

    Best wishes

  • I asked when I had a meeting with the radiotherapy specialist, she said wait until I’ve had the radiotherapy. (I’m waiting for my planning appointment).  I wanted to start on the hair,skin and nails supplements. 

  • I seem to remember reading somewhere that some vitamins and antioxidants work against what the radiotherapy is trying to do, so not taking any sounds like good advice.
