          Hi Michele, just curious, what did you read about it? I made my husband some 'golden milk' every day (till he got the mouth sores), he's on nivo/ipi. Golden milk is a mix of turmeric (with the curcumin) and ginger. I assumed it would be okay to do.

            I use turmeric (curcumin) in my smoothies every day, it's fine while on treatment. I use it to help with my joint inflammation. If you're looking into taking a supplement, ask your onc first, I'm sure it would be ok, but I would check with them first before taking any supplement.

              Michelle, my dad’s oncologist said it was ok to take curcumin while on Yervoy. He took 1500 mg /day.
