Is any one on Rubraca and taking Supplements. If so, what are they and does your Oncologist approve?

Hi Win, The only thing I take is a general vitamin. I did ask the Oncologist, and was told that providing they were not herbal it was ok. X

Thanks Caleda. Yes I think I'll leave well alone and just take my vitamin D which I know I can have. Hope you doing ok. I'm ok this tine around on the lower dose just hope my bloods are ok when I get my bloods done next week.

I am glad that you are doing better on the reduced dose, and also hope that your bloods stay ok. With this disease there always seems to be something to worry about doesn't there. I get my bloods done on the 26 Jan. followed by a Consultation on the 28 Jan.

Hi Caleda just a quick question if you don't mind. Do/did you have any stomach issues on Rubraca. My stomach just doesn't feel right but hard to explain. I went out the other day for a walk and was really breathless and just felt unwell. I'm sure it's the Rubraca because when I came off it for a month due to low platelets I felt give. Now on back on just feel a little under the weather again.
