Joseph Bradley+FollowYour Meds Could Mess With Cancer TreatmentWild fact: meds you take for headaches, allergies, or even cholesterol could totally change how well cancer immunotherapy works.

Donald Jones DDS+FollowBiotin supplements may disrupt cancer careMany cancer patients turn to biotin for hair regrowth, but it turns out these popular supplements can actually mess with lab results—sometimes masking cancer markers or causing delays in treatment. Most people aren’t even deficient in biotin, since it’s found in everyday foods. Experts now recommend skipping biotin altogether, especially before blood work, and suggest FDA-approved minoxidil as a safer, proven option for hair loss. Have you or someone you know tried supplements during treatment? What advice or experiences can you share with others facing these tough choices? #Health #BodyHealth #CancerCare10Share
