Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily probiotic supplement for 6 months can reduce common chemotherapy side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and nerve pain in breast cancer patients. One hundred women with stage I-III breast cancer will receive either a three-strain probiotic or a placebo. The goal is to see if probiotics improve quality of life and help patients complete their full course of chemotherapy.
