In reply to the discussion: Update on my cancer [View all]Ziggysmom
(3,556 posts)42. Wishing you a fast recovery. Check into CoQ10 supplement. My husband had heart failure,
with a mitral valve replacement, and is also on oxygen for COPD. His surgeon suggested the supplement, she is from Greece and it is very regularly used in Europe she told us. My husband is now 5 years out from his valve surgery and has no further symptoms of heart failure such as fluid build up in the legs and lungs. I take CoQ10 for migraines and it has helped reduce their frequency.
I know how hard it is to quit cigarettes; the additives tobacco companies put on tobacco are to increase the nicotine and smoking addiction. I hope you and the husband can both stop smoking and enjoy better health
