Patients and families with bladder cancer usually maintain a very positive mindset in their treatment and are willing to try a variety of treatments that may have some benefit. Some people have even tried vitamin therapy for tumors because they believe that vitamin supplementation is effective in treating tumors. The best attitude toward vitamin replacement therapies is to use them as some complementary treatment. The efficacy of vitamins alone is actually very limited, and it is still unknown exactly how vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.) work and how much they actually do. It is best to inform your doctor of the type and name of all medications you are taking so that potential drug interactions or toxic side effects can be avoided.
Some patients want to take supplements, such as shark cartilage, ganoderma lucidum spore powder, etc., but there is not enough clinical evidence to show the anti-tumor efficacy of these drugs, and they are not cheap, and it is not clear whether they have any potential toxic side effects on the body. If a drug can kill cancer cells, it must also kill normal cells, which will bring about toxic side effects of treatment. The best treatment is no treatment at all. Don’t waste your money and life on those so-called “miracle cures”. Some people may take advantage of your fear and anxiety and cheat you with those treatments that have no scientific basis under the guise of “curing cancer”. Therefore, you should only take health supplements as a supplement to your regular treatment and be sure that the supplements are not harmful to your body before taking them.
