Which chemo regimen?
There are things one can take which are thought to help lessen the neuropathy associated with Oxaliplatin, for example, but if s/he isn't getting oxi there's no point.
By "supplements" is it safe to assume that you are talking about things other than prescription anti-nausea drugs, and also not over the counter drugs commonly used, such as immodium for diarrhea and various stool-softeners and laxatives? You mean things like CBD oil, Vitamin Bcomplex, L-Glutamine, et al?
If you clarify the chemo, for example FOLFOX or FOLFIRI, people can be more helpful.
