Coenzyme Q10 has been my friend for a long time. I initially got it in combination supplement that is especially good for hair, skin and nails. With the cancer diagnosis, I still took what I had been taking and added another 100mg of the straight CoQ10. That was almost 5 years ago.
I had Adriamycin for 12 weekly treatments, then Taxotere as adjuvent therapy. Six months after getting off all that I had mets to liver and bones. I started on Herceptin, Taxol and navelbine then. So, I had a lot of cardio-toxic drugs within a short time plus the Herceptin.
Had my heart functions checked this spring and all is well. I feel that the CoQ10 has helped me thus far as I have been on herceptin with or without chemo for 3.5 years.
I did bump my dose up to 200mg a day while on the Decadron for my brain mets this past winter. Dropped back after I had been off that stuff for a couple of months.
