Speak to an oncologist before beginning any sort of self-medication, even dietary changes. I read an article recently about James Watson (of Watson & Crick who first proposed the double helical structure of DNA) who proposed that antioxidants perhaps caused more harm than good in regards to cancer. The idea being that oxidation is a useful process that might play a vital role in identifying and removing damaged cells (apoptosis), but that process is perhaps hindered by excessive use of dietary supplements.
Best of luck to your family member.
