hi just finished my 3rd treatment of doxil have 3 more to go-my numbers started to climb got up to 33 and so i was put on the doxil i have finished a year of taxol and carbo and surg, total of 9 taxols- so far the numbers went from 33 to 31 and now down to 15 so far, have not lost my hair yet- i'm told i may not-so far i've not had too many side effects- except the first 24 hours i can not sleep then the next 2 days i sleep- then sort of snap out of the fog,i had a different chemo nurse this time and she told me to make sure and to wear shoes if going to be out side or do garden work,to avoid injuries, i had a small spider bite on my foot and she was very concerned about it-adv me not to take very hot baths, and to watch any cuts or scratches,good luck and it takes a lot less time for the amount they are giving me,-?keep in touch
Hi Becky,
I hope you're doing better now, your reply to me was very nice to see.
I'll send a message to Deandra, thanks for the suggestion.
Feel good!

Hi Gail,
Thanks for your tips, I did get that purple Doxil pack from my oncology nurse, and I'll follow your suggestions. Maybe I can bring a couple of ice pops with me, what do you think?
It sounds like this may be a difficult chemo drug, but if it works, I'll deal with the side affects.
My MUGA scan is this Thursday.
I'm making a list of everyone's suggestions, and I'm sure it will help to make this easier to deal with. The ladies are so kind.
Thanks again,
Jane
Hi Pam,
I messaged you my email address, let me know if you got it.
Thanks to you and to your friend, I appreciate her offer for help.
I wish you both good health,
Jane
I'll call it the Canadian Mounted Police if that would help!
Be well,
Jane
