    My thought on this has been...their job is to kill cancer.  It is my job to take care of the rest of my body.  If vitamins can turn chemo's off that easily it can be doing much for me. You may want to stop you supplement two days before chemo and restart three days after you last chemo.  Chemo does not stay active that long in our systems.  The important part is keep your blood repairing your red/white counts and stay strong enough to fight off infection.
