Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, everyone. For the first 2 years after chemo ended I took a few supplements, but have no idea what, if any, benefit they gave. I took PSK, modified citrus pectin, Cimetidine, and baby aspirin. I think there is definitely a psychological benefit to taking supplements after chemo, since in a way I felt "naked" after ending chemo, and this gave me some hope that I still had some "crutches". Lately I am only taking baby aspirin since there seems to be solid evidence backing its use.
