Caylex Side effects

Has anyone on Caylex experienced skin darkening?  I look like I have been in the sun too long.

Thanx Lance.  I had a carcinoma removed, and now it has spread to the membranes of my organs.  I really hope this Caylex works.  I don't mind if I turn out to be black afterwards!

My wife, Nanette, had liposomal doxorubicin or Caelyx for 6 months (equivalent to 6 treatments) and she had skin darkening. We noticed the change in her complexion midway through this regimen. She applies sun block lotion everytime she goes outside. Kindly watch out for PPE / hand and foot syndrome also, although Nanette didn't have this. This is one of the more popular side effects of this drug.

I hope this drug works for you. It stabilized my wife's clear cell carcinoma before it stopped working. Thank you.
