Supplements after chemo and radio, what are you taking?

@jeanadair123 Yeah, I guess I didn't mention brain fog and cognitive changes in general when I listed side effects. Chemo and Lupron have definitely messed with my brain. Was your husband getting forgetful before treatment? My memory and such were pretty good before treatment, so I know that was the cause. Hopefully it will get better with time.
So I wonder if anyone has supplement suggestions for improving cognition?
Exercise is apparently very good for brain fog.

@slowdo @jeanadair123 and others, have you considered consulting with integrative oncology specialists?
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 medicine can guide you to supplements, therapies and approaches that help manage cancer treatment lasting side effects. 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.
