Supplements During Chemotherapy for Lymphoma
by Sue
Please advise. Thank-you
Your vet's caution is sensible. Some supplements, especially antioxidants and "immune boosters", may interfere with chemotherapy or affect the liver, and there's little evidence that they shrink tumors. Please check every supplement with her oncologist before using it.
The best ways to support her are to keep her eating, manage nausea and comfort with medicines from her vet, and keep her stomach protected given her history of ulcers. If you're interested in supplements, ask her oncologist which, if any, are safe given her history of pancreatitis and ulcers.
