@docheat72 I was asked to stop all supplements during the 5 days of taking the meds. i have been taking some mushroom and green tea extracts and will start that again next week. I am not familiar with an integrative oncologist. Where are you finding that resource? I know some of the larger clinics have an integrative med department. HD Anderson for example. So far just two days on med and no problem. robert

@robertp129, here's some info on integrative oncology. More and more cancer centers and oncology specialists are open to discussing and integrating complementary medicine in programs called Integrative Medicine or Integrative Oncology. Integrative medicince is offered at many cancer centers of excellence, including Mayo Clinic.
Here's a link to more information about Mayo Clinic's Integrative Medicine programs

In this Mayo Clinic Q & A Podcast. Dr. D'Andre talks about how integrative oncology can be incorporated into conventional cancer care at Mayo Clinic.
