Question: my father has chronic myeloid lukemia, what vitamins should he be taking?
Brief Answer:
no vitamin required unless deficient
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Routine vitamin supplements are not required in chronic myeloid leukemia. This is because extra vitamins can stimulate cancer cells.
If there is suspicion for deficiency of any vitamin like b12 or mineral like iron, then that can be supplemented.
Hope this helps.
