@glendap56, welcome to Mayo Connect. It's great to hear that Tagrisso is proving to be effective for you. I hope that continues for many years. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say regarding vitamins and supplements.
I take a different targeted therapy, for a different gene mutation, ALK. I don't take much other than the occasional vitamin C or multi vitamin. In the past I have noticed that taking some supplements have had a negative impact on my liver or kidney counts. Be sure to check with your oncologist and keep an eye on those numbers if you start taking more. Did you take many supplements before cancer?

Thankyou it’s great to be able to take part in these discussions. I started taking supplements when I got my cancer diagnosis while I waited for treatment and to try and help myself stay strong. However I appreciate the fact that I can take Tagrisso and immediately stopped the supplements in case they interacted with Tagrisso. I’m also interested in what vitamins and supplements others take and what effects they have on treatment and or the body.
