It's important to be cautious about taking any supplements during cancer treatment, including creatine. While exercise is beneficial for physical and mental health during cancer treatment, supplements can potentially interfere with cancer treatments, even if they're considered natural. The best approach is to have a detailed discussion with your husband's oncologist about using creatine specifically with Keytruda.
