Ask your onc. how long your chemo takes to work before it is broken down in the liver. I stopped taking supplements 3 days before chemo and started 3 days after. Q10 has a half life of 30 hours so I wanted to have it drop by 1/2 x 1/2 so that it didn't interfere with the taxol. taxol I believe exerts its cancer killing effects within 24 hours after administration.

I also took reishi extract in week 2 and to up my white blood cell count..worked very well.

cheers
