Vitamins and Chemotherapy

Vitamins should not be taken during chemotherapy. Should one stop taking vitamins prior to chemotherapy? Do vitamins increase cancer cells?

Dear cupcake2:  To our knowledge, vitamins do not increase cancer cells.  Many oncologists do not have a problem with a daily multivitamin.  Most would caution against megadosing.  You should check with your oncologist to see what he/she recommends.
