Appreciate your question..glad you are finally on the herceptin...will be interested to know how the co-q 10 works for you...I personally prefer magnesium/walking/onions and beets to protect the heart, but I know co-q 10 is great for congestive heart failure and other heart damage, but with ejection fractions as high as yours...seems your heart is in super shape...Anyhow, my two cents regarding treatment options. I am currently getting 6mg per body weight dosing once every 6 weeks and LOVE it. I have taken herceptin alone (plus diet) off and on (in almost every conceivable format) since early 1999 and find this works great for me...but to do it...you have to CONVINCE your onc to carefully and scientifically monitor your CA 27/29 and serial serum her-2 markers on a regular basis to be sure that WHATEVER dosing you decide on is keeping your numbers in check...meaning (per my unpublished research) a CA 27/29 at or below 10 and an serum Her-2 in a normal range (below 12 or 15, depending on the assay) Hope this is helpful, Best of luck, Gina For more information you can email me direct at GPOPP@Comcast.net. Cheers.
