Nina, No, Asia is not on CoQ10. I have not put her on any supplements due to the chemo and not having an opportunity to really talk with the oncologist. I changed our appointments to Friday mornings as the afternoons are so crazy that I don't get much chance to discuss things with the vet.
Will explore all of this.

I'm so pleased to hear Asia is doing so well. I seem to remember you saying that Asia is on CoQ10, what else do you have her on? I'm not sure if Interferon is the best choice for her, you'd need to speak to your vet about it. I'd ask your vet about anything that boosts immune system response to make sure you're not inadvertently boosting the cancer cells as well. I know that Transfer Factor is suppose to be a immune "regulator" rather than an immune "booster", you might want to look into that. Here's a paste of a post I wrote on it: Transfer Factor is suppose to be an 'immune balancer' that is taken from cow's colostrum, they also use something from chicken yolks. The idea is to "educate" an immature or imbalanced immune system to bring it into balance and help it ward off illness. I'm not even sure if it works, but according to the studies I've read, it hasn't had any ill effects, even when amounts used are many times higher than recommended. There have been good reports about general health, (shiny coat etc.) from some of the folks I know who are using it. There are several different formulas for people and animals. I use the animal stress formula. Here's a link to info about Transfer Factor: http://www.transferfactorinstitute.com Here's the ordering info: The phone number for the company is: (888) 454-3374. There's a website link below, you might want to check out, but they don't have their order page encrypted, so it's safer to order over the phone.

However because Elspar was used/because Asia came out of remission, yesterday the used Adrianmycin in an IV drip of 4mg. So now I am researching to find out about that drug. Asia also has gained 7 oz. in weight, she is responding well it appears. I do need to add supplements but can only add a few right now due to financial issues. What would be the best supplements to add to enhance her treatment right now? Vit. C Vet also provided a written report and both x-rays for me yesterday. I scanned and sent to a friend who is a veterinary radiographer and am waiting to hear back from him. Dianne and Asia __,_._,___
