Thanks for your input, I will take my supplement list with me to my next infusion and ask the Nurse to check with the pharmacist. So far my doctor has not said no to anything besides curcumin which I have read interferes with the blood level readings for your liver.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin) can definitely interfere with CA19-9 tests for pancreatic cancer.

There were interactions between antioxidants in general related to either clearance or effectiveness of Abraxane or Cisplatin. (I can't find the original email and don't recall details, but will post them if I can find them again.)

Very useful info for sure.

So much conflicting information everywhere - yes, to checking with one’s immediate care team. Also, we can read clinical study reports to become informed. The trouble is no one person holds all the knowledge so when are we limiting possibility over caution? Rhetorical.
