      Anyone else taking supplements while on keytruda?  Consulted with a naturopath doc that specializes in cancer. Taking an integrated approach and inquiring about others experience with this approach.

          My father isn't taking Keytruda, but he's on Yervoy/Opdivo and Opdivo is very similar. 

          He is also seeing a natropathic doctor and getting mineral/vitamin C drips like once a week. It seems to help with his energy to some degree. 

          My father has tried a couple integrated approaches before his current treatment. One worked for a while but ended up stalling out. 

          If you have any specific questions or curious about supplements he is taking I'd be happy to ask him.

          I don't think we've seen any obvious signs from the supplements but it never hurts…
