CoQ 10 after Taxol
I'm about half way through weekly Taxol infusions. How long should I wait after the last dose of Taxol before starting Co-enzyme Q?

Thanks!

Usually chemo does its job within 24 hours but to be on the safe side, I would wait 2 weeks. If anyone else has data, then I would go with that.

2 days would be fine
2 days is fine., I took Q10 and stopped 3 days before and after each taxol dose (3 wk doses).
