Chemo can react with many things so she should use her Dr's advice and only her Dr's advice. The use of Chemo, by it's nature, is toxic to our bodies as that's the purpose of it. Her list of medications should be monitored ONLY by her MD's who are knowledgeable in the pharmacodynamics and kinetics of the drugs she is taking. Herbs can contain active ingredients that might harm her and react adversely with her chemo so it's essential to use caution and NO backseat medical advice. The purpose of Chemo is to create a toxic environment for any cancer cells. Even hair color can cause nasty skin reactions so it's important to be cautious.
