Hi Helen -
Both my med onc and radiation onc wanted me to only do a multivitamin while doing chemo and radiation. The logic being that you did not want me inadvertently protecting the cancer cells while we were trying to destroy them with the chemo and radiation. My medical onc finally agreed to let me continue taking COQ10 but not during the few days around my chemo treatment. Once I was done with treatment and only doing herceptin I was able to add all the suppliments back into my daily routine. I also think eating well - low fat, organic and lots of fruits and vegies helped me ready my body for chemo.
Good luck
Tami
