There is so much debate to this, I consider this article clickbait.
Consider this clinical trial that suggests the exact opposite:
>> High Doses of Vitamin C with Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/search/v?id=NCT02905591&r=1 https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trial...
Other studies:
>> Targeting cancer vulnerabilities with high-dose vitamin C

Other studies of uses of supplements:
>> Taken together, these results suggest that combinational chemotherapy with ascorbic acid and paclitaxel not only does not block the anticancer effects of paclitaxel but also alleviates the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel in vivo and in vitro.

Overall, talk to your oncologist before combining any supplements with your chemotherapy.

See https://www.cancer.gov/research/key-initiatives/ras/ras-central/blog/2020/yun-cantley-vitamin-c https://www.cancer.gov/research/key-initiatives/ras/ras-cent... and specifically Mark Levine's pioneering work https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15068981/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15068981/ which adds to this debate.
