Supplements for taxol/carboplatin chemo to boost immune system

[nikoladsp]

Hi,

my wife started her chemo on last Wednesday. Which supplements can you recommend to boost her immune system? I am not sure is it OK to post exact brands - if not please send me DM.

Atm, she is taking Salvestrol and red beet juice.

Thank you in advance

Hi. Some doctors don’t allow any supplements because things like antioxidants can interfere with chemo. Beet juice should be fine but she should check with her team.

Thank you. She have poor digest anyway and does not eat enough I guess. We try to find something to keep her gastro-tract as much intact as possible.

Hi Nikolai,

It’s now 16 years since my diagnosis. My protocol which I took for a while was for a carbo only protocol. It cost about £300 then a month, so I imagine it would be much more now and might not worth with taxol therapy.

Also it is I have been unwise to take anything at all during chemotherapy except after a lengthy discussion with your oncologist.

I will send you my UK contact details asap tomorrow. Please remind me if you forget. There are is another possible solution in the UK but I have to check it out first.

Thank you - I must go to sleep ASAP.
