After much insistance on my part, my onc finally ok'd me to take COQ10 during chemo - just not the day before, day of or day after. In addition I took a multivitamin. As soon as I was done with chemo and rads I started taking lots of suppliments along with the herceptin. I have 2 treatments to go and am feeling great!

DX'd 4/2004 - 1.4 cm, er-/pr-, sentinal node involvement. Did 4 ac, 4 taxotere with herceptin every week for the first 10 weeks and then herceptin every 3 weeks for a full year plus 35 rads.
My muga went from 65 to 55 ejection fraction after AC and with the herceptin has hovered between 52 and 55. Hope this helps.
