My PCP ran a nutrition panel when I was diagnosed- looking ahead to surgery and chemo- she wanted to make sure I was in the best place to heal and better tolerate chemo. Once that was back, she had a couple of supplements to suggest, we ran those past the oncology pharmacist- to make sure they would not compromise the effectiveness of my drug protocols. Hugs!

What vitamins might help with triple-negative breast cancer?

Vitamin D is worth discussing with your doctor. Research suggests that people with higher vitamin D levels in their blood may have better survival outcomes with breast cancer. Some studies show that those with sufficient vitamin D levels had significantly better results compared to those with deficient levels.

However, it's important to note that the research doesn't prove vitamin D directly causes these better outcomes - other factors could be involved.

Before starting any vitamin D supplements, talk with your doctor. They can test your current vitamin D levels to see if supplementation is right for you. For those with normal levels, it's unclear whether taking extra supplements would help or potentially cause harm.

Getting sunlight is one effective way to boost vitamin D naturally, though you'll want to balance this with skin cancer risk.

Beyond vitamin D, eating foods rich in antioxidants like blackberries (which contain resveratrol) may offer some benefits. A registered dietitian can provide personalized guidance based on your specific treatments and needs.
