Probiotic Drinks

Hi I've just completed my first chemo session as this will now lower my immune system should I avoid taking Probiotic drinks? I usually take them everyday but unsure whether they would be harmful or do me good. Anyone have the experience?

  • Hi Jan, 

    Hopefully other members who have experience of this will reply soon but it may be a good idea to talk to your medical team just to be safe. You can chat to our cancer nurses about this next week as well. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    There may even be some previous discussions about this on the forum so do have a look around using the 'search forum' option above.

    Good luck with the rest of your chemo Jan, we'll be thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

    Kind Regards,
