Daily multiple vitamins

I have had doctors who have had both points of view - vitamins are trash and vitamins are useful. I think you need to decide for yourself. I have definitely seen where someone took a supplement of something they were lacking and it helped. I mean just think about the old timey sailors and scurvy - they didn't get enough vitamin C and they got sick, so not having something can certainly make you worse. I mean think of it this way, if it isn't going to harm you then what's the difference in trying it anyway? Plus I have talked to many cancer patients who swear by diet, so who knows... trial and error I think is best. Well, without the "error" part, haha. 😊 Keep on keepin' on, DPM

It can be frustrating when you push a foot forward to do what is right for your body with cancer, and a simple question gets muddied with side talk. I agree with in deciding what is good for you. If a daily vitamin is challenged then maybe speak with a qualified Dietician who can hold your hand further with the history of your diagnosis along with working with your doctor on food intake that carries the vitamin aspect. Unfortunately, as mentioned it may feel like a trial and error. Wishing you the very best!

you've already received some great advice. For me personally, I have been very surprised at how little my oncologists have offered advice in the area of supplements. After my second bout with leukemia, I found an integrative doctor who looks at the body as a whole, and not just symptoms. She checks things in my blood that no one had ever looked at before, and then has recommended vitamins and supplements to support what the testing shows that I need. And while I did go through a third bout with leukemia, the things she taught me and helped me with made it MUCH easier and helped me have more energy during treatment. Some of the things she suggested were not supported by my oncologist simply because he didn't have the same education that the integrative doctor has. Thankfully for me, he didn't deny it either. And while I can't suggest what is best for you, I personally believe that seeking more advice is a good idea. We are all so unique in what we need. Hope that helps!
