Is it safe to take turmeric and ginger supplements with breast cancer medication...

I started that too but read an article that tumeric can be a pseudo estrogen. So much info out there that it’s hard to decipher what’s real or not. Sending blessings to you

You should discuss it with your oncologist. Many supplements interfer with meds.

I had did some research when I was on the Tamoxifen, and I recall it had just said Tamoxifen not the other estrogen blockers.

I have Mets to the bones, year 5. Original BC in 2007. Had a single mastectomy I am on Ibrance and anastrozole Still living and breathing and fighting all the pain and annoying side affects. Ugh! Praying for you all. I am 75.

Laura, Cynbalta is an antidepressant, but it also relieves bone pain. I get 90 mg per day. I have too many to count bone lesions. I haven't had bone pain since I started it. Ask your oncologist about trying it. I went on it gradually, 1st month 30mg, 2nd month 60 mg, 3rd month 90 mg.

I take verenio I had to have a lower dose due to diarrhea my potassium kept getting dangerous levels and always had to do potassium infusions that's has been the biggest problem for me. I had double mesectomy may 22 I was still having lots of pain under my armpit and my oncologist handed me a bottle of tamaxafin I talked to my surgeon he told me to get a second opinion so by Sept 22 I had an appointment with the most advanced cancer treatment in Florida. When I got to my appointment she asked what kind and stage breast cancer I had I felt really stupid I told her I didn't know I have 3 mutations BARD 1, one variant with significant issues, one variant not significant I told her that since I knew that answer she asked if I just wanted a second opinion or if I needed Dr's I said Dr's by November 22 I moved to tampa while staging me she found lymphnodes enlarged where my pain was by January 23 I had all 17 lymphnodes removed 7 out of 17 where metastasis, metastatic, and metastized and all 17 had invasive carcinoma. After surgery she told me I had a reoccurrence so in 8 months I went from stage 2 to stage 4. This year I'll be having robotic surgery to remove ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Hi everyone. Is anyone taking vitamins? If so, what kind and liquid or pill?

It's completely understandable to want to explore all options for supporting your health during treatment. Supplement interactions with cancer medications can be complex and vary from person to person, so checking with your oncology team before adding turmeric or ginger supplements would be the safest approach. They'll have the full picture of your treatment plan and can give you personalized guidance about what might work well alongside your current medications.
