Hello!
I began Herceptin about 6 months after I completed AC and Taxol. Before all the chemo my infraction rate was only at a 58. I have dropped as low as 38 with everyone scratching their head... I was 33 when diagnosed and I just turned 36. I was on Herceptin for about 3 months and then was pulled as they want your infraction rate above 50, I was pulled for 8 weeks until I got back up to a 52, then was pulled once again for 6 months as I dropped to a 42. Im not sure why I am all over the map, in fact no one has been able to tell me... but during my 6 month break I took CoQ10 and Flaxseed DAILY and I was SHOCKED to go in for an ECHO and have by infraction rate be at a 55. So, I am on my 3rd dose of the remaining 16 to fulfull my 52 week treatment.
It is always good to remain active, and I swear by the CoQ10 and flaxseed, but what worked for me doesnt necessarily work for all. But definately worth a try!
Keep the faith and continue to fight the good fight!
