That's not something we can really advise you on, except to say if there is an unknown benefit or supplementation from this treatment, I wouldn't do it. While on treatment, any of them, the recommendations against using them (supplements) are loud and clear. While I'm sure there are a number of products that will do no harm, it's best to talk to your doctors about it. You might have some luck contacting the drug manufacturer or pharmacist regarding the use of this, but my experience with this has always been to avoid supplements of any kind while on treatment. They really don't know how these things affect the action of the drugs. If they haven't tested something for adverse reactions during the trials and given you the okay to use them, I wouldn't do it. The time involved is short and the benefit of using something untested during the 3-6 months you're being treated is basically unknown.

Does anyone know if the topical application of "essence" or "pure" oils, cut by 50% with a carrier oil like grape seed oil is recommended by treatment team doctors?
