Rebecca,
I think it was mainly while doing radiation that the drs told me not to take the Q10. My baseline MUGA was only 55 but my second one was 61.9! So take heart that your next one could be even better than the first. The dr told me that it's like anything and that it may have been an off day for me when I had the first MUGA or that it was just unnormally low read. Either way, I wish you the best and just make sure your drs approve of you taking it now and later as your treatments continue.
