    Basically nothing, though B6 and glutamine is good for helping with neuropathy. When on chemo, you don't went to take any vitamins that will protect the cancer cells. Vitamins can't tell healthy cells from cancerous ones...so they protect both. Therefore, they may interfere with the chemo. My onc told me not to take any supplements while on chemo. Wait to start them about 4 weeks after you are done.

    Mine told me it was OK to take supplements while on chemo.  I took multivitamins, calcium, CoQ10.  I hope it reallly was OK.
