Hair, Skin & Nails Vitamins

Marlene_K

I was just curious if any of you have taken the Hair, Skin & Nail Vitamins after finishing chemo. I know I can't take them while on chemo, but I stocked up on them when my pharmacy had a 'buy one, get one' sale figuring it might help with all of these things being effected because of the chemo.

Anyone? I'll be done the first week of February and I plan to try it... figure it can't hurt, right?

Vitamins etc.
When I asked about this my doctors don't want me to take anything "extra". Just let your doctors know ahead of time what you are planning on taking. I think they want to know if you have a reaction to something it will be easier to diagnose.

My onco. said vitamins are
My onco. said vitamins are ok as long as the daily value is not more than 100%. I would check with your doctor before taking anything over the counter.

Are you doing radiation after chemo?
Marlene, I don't remember whether or not you'll be doing radiation after chemo -- if so, I know many of us were told by our radiation oncologist or nurse not to take vitamins during radiation.

So I wouldn't start taking them until you've had a chance to meet with the radiation folks and ask them.
