Thanks to Christine,Suzan & Cathia for replying to my querry.
I am not sure yet if CoQ10 is effective or not based on your varying results, but at least you gave me confidence that it is not declared as counterindicated by your onc.
A possible factor affecting efficacy ,besides dosage, is the type of pill: powder pills are the least bioavailable. Softgels in an oil base are said to be better in that respect(2 to 3 times). One U.S. supplier of CoQ10 pills using limonene claims even higher bioavailability.
I hope you are taking one of the better variety.
