Hi Halfpint2. You can take curcumin with ibrance . I asked the oncology pharmacist, but if you are estrogen positive. Don’t drink it. It has estrogen. I was drinking it everyday until I read that.

Thank you. I’m ER/PR positive. I’ve been taking it for a while so I’ll be stopping it and researching more.

Hi

I asked my oncologist about this and she said it’s fine..I make golden paste myself and it works out cheap to make..I buy organic turmeric from amazon then add black pepper and coconut oil..I quite like the taste now I’m used to it

I’m taking Ibrance 100 mg and letrazole

My onc. said as long as it is in food form, turmeric, that was fine and that was because he could not be sure what else was in the supplement. Bottom line, I do both and don't worry about.

Sister.Warrior I would suggest you talk to an Integrative, or homeopathic Dr. I look things up, and then confirm it with one, or two of these Dr's. I do a free consult with invite health Dr.'s. A Pharmacist, and, or medically trained doctors don't have this expertise. As I mentioned in our previous post, there are many anti-inflammatory natural supplements, and pain killers. I would ask the Integrative/homeopathic Dr.'s about several anti-inflammatory drugs, and pain killers. They will try to get you to buy the Invite Health expensive supplements. I purchased from them one time for my father because there was a BOGO free sale. I now purchase those same supplements for half the BOGO free sale.Try to get them online from accredited certified companies. I almost always use Vitacost.com, and rarely use Amazon. God speed in your healing XoXoXoX

Thank you. I’ve tried researching but so many articles and it became convoluted in my tired brain.
