Hi Jo,
Ive nearly finished my chemo and I have been taking Vitamin C (1g per day), D (50 micrograms) and probiotics the whole time. I havent had any infections, not even a flu whilst my family around me have been ill. I know they say that we should not take vitamins but you can also try to eat them from food, if you dont like taking the pills. It is difficult to get 1 g of Vitamin C from food and also vitamin D is a challenge during winter time as there is hardly any sunshine. Vitamin C and D together fight infections. And probiotics protect your stomach. Protecting the hair is a different story( cold cap and Biotin and Omega fatty acids. I dont take all this during the first week after chemo as liver may get overloaded but during the last two weeks before the next treatment. One week to go and I still have half of my hair left. Hope it all goes well for you! Take care! Sunshiney
