It depends on what stage of treatment you’re at. During chemo I was told no supplements, except for iron (which I’ve taken prior to diagnoses). Speak with the oncologist, they will see which blood/nutrient level seems low and will recommend if any supplements should be taken. You need to be very careful if you are still on treatment because on counter-reactions.

Turmeric and other herbal supplements might not be appropriate whilst on chemo - some chemos thin the blood, as do some herbal remedies, so having the themconcurrent might be an issue, depends which chemotherapy you're having. Vitamins like C and B6 and D should be okay
