Consult nutritionist: There's good research showing supplements can reduce toxicity while increasing effectiveness of chemo and radiation but it should be individualized based on what you're taking. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17283738 and https://tinyurl.com/rk8gqrz In most cases a good multivit (without copper),Vit C,curcumin,quercitin,melatonin and CBD are good choices.It's best to consult a nutritionist.
