Hi -
curious as to why one would need the liquid oxygen? Do you have significant breathing problems?
Don't think I have noticed anyone in my cancer center getting herceptin who is on oxygen, but there are many being treated in rooms rather than in the curtined area that I might not see.
Maybe this is a question for the physicians (patient consultants, I think they are called) at Genentech who are very nice about answering such questions.

Are you talking about a supplement? such as found at

If so could you tell us what you think about it?

yes, the supplements. I heard that cancer cannot survive in oxygen. A friend of mine swears that it cured her mother's skin cancer and cured her brothers allergies which were severe before the use of oxygen. My doctor didn't advise it during chemo because there aren't any studies on it. It might interfere with the tratment. I guess it can be used for many reasons. Just wondering if anyone else tried it. sally
