Thanks for replies.... Sarah, I've been taking Co-Q10 every day now for about 7 years (150mg), but have increased it to 300mg per day.

Paul, you have been at my onc appointments - your posts have been all read by my onc, and he said it's likely now when I see the Cardiologist this week, some of your suggestions will be taken up. (I think as an onc he was hesitant to go off 'protocol'??)

I also had radiation at original diagnosis in 2001, but at the end of 2015 I had SBRT on a pesky lung tumour, so I hope that hasn't had an impact (that tumour was in left upper lobe of lung).

Interested to hear any other experiences!

Cheers Marie
