Hi all - Does anyone take supplements and vitamins? I know that some can have adverse effects on the treatments and possibly make them less effective. My oncologist does not want me to take any and I am used to taking digestive enzymes. My surgeon said they were fine. Does anyone take them or any other supplements?? Any thoughts>???
