| 4/13/2008 | Lillie-Thank You for answering my previous question about the Her2+. I will definitely follow your advice. There are studies that antioxidents can possibly interfear with radiation. The studies are inconclusive... Just to be sure I stopped taking vitamins while having radiation. I'm making sure that I eat extra fruits and vegetables etc. I know that wine has antioxidents, is it OK to have a glass of wine with dinner a couple (2-3X) of times a week while having radiation or can it interfear? I just want to do everything right while in treatment. Thank you again. | ||
