Hello to everyone, does anyone on here take cod liver oil for achy joints? I saw my onc this morning who said it was fine to take (on maintanence H&P) but just wondered if anyone could tell me if it works. My joint aches are a side effect of H&P and in my knees and fingers mainly. Thank you all. Hope you all doing well.

Hi Julia
Just read your post. I took Col Liver Oil for years, it works very well. When I was diagnosed with SBC I was told it was fine to continue. However, after 3 cycles of the chemo drug Epirubicin it was found not to be working (I have SBC in lung and fluid built up and I had to have it clared out). By this time I had read a report that Cod Liver Oil can STOP CHEMO FROM WORKING. This was confirmed after I asked for a 2nd time. I am now on a different Chemo (Paclitaxol)
Needles to say, I no longr take Cod Liver Oil, it might have just been coincidence or bad luck that the Epirubicin did not work, but I am coming up for my 5th cycle of Paclitaxol and feel OK. I am not willing to take a chance with Cod Liver Oil again. Of course my arthritus symptoms are starting to return but so be it. Hope this helps,
