I take a multivitamin every day, as well as 500mg of Vitamin C. I honestly can't remember how long after my treatment I went on this regimen, but I've been on it for a good many years and haven't even had a cold in ages. My diet also tends to be high in fruits, vegetables, grains and seafood (but occasionally includes things like a Whopper with fries!).

I also take calcium supplements daily, since bone density is starting to be an issue for me.

My oncologist regularly checks with me about my vitamin/supplement routine and seems to think I don't need anything else at this point.
