Oranges are not the only fruit

Hi guys. We've just had the pre-chemo pep talk and have been told my husband can't eat oranges during chemo as they interfere with the drugs - make them too active apparently. However we couldn't find out whether this applies to eating whole raw oranges as a piece of fruit only, or does he need to avoid marmalade as well. Does anyone know please?
