My bc was on the left side, and I received Herceptin and radiation at the same time. At the time (2006), there was information that having both together promoted synergy between the two. Both my onc and rads onc were in agreement on having the treatments together. I have had no heart issues to date. I did take COQ 10 for the duration of rads treatment - Becky, you were a proponent of that, weren't you?

Best of luck to you with your treatment plan Vyvl,
