Breast Cancer

[Heidiliz]

I have been using milk thistle for a long time as a liver protectant. I am currently undergoing chemo treatments for stage 2, grade 3 breast cancer Chemo drugs are toxic to both bad and good cells and can harm your organs. Anyone who is being treated for cancer knows that most Oncologists do not want you to take any supplements during treatment...mine did agree to let me take a multi, calcium/mag./zinc and CoQ10 but asked me to hold off on the milk thistle. I have done extensive research to find an answer as to whether I should or should not take it. I get both sides...some say it enhances treatment and works well to protect the liver and some say don't take it. I want to take it to protect my liver. Any cancer doctors reading this that can answer I would sure appreciate it. I have my second treatment next week and so far I have been taking milk thistle every other day just in case, but I want to know for sure. Thanks for the help in advance.
