On another thread, people discussed that they should not take antioxidants during chemo. What do you mean "during chemo"? Do you mean during the entire period from the first day of the first round of chemo to the last day of the last round of chemo or just during the time of active chemo infusion?

    From 1st to last
    From the time you start #1 until you finish #12 or however long you are in for treatments

    For me it is from the time he told me to stop until he stops the treatments in two or three year's time. In other words, forever.
