Hi, Lida,
I do not have any information on Doxil, but I have been on Ixempra/Herceptin for 7 months now, and it is working for me. I had a CT scan in February and the 3 tumors in my left lung were smaller. My doctor says that all his patients on this drug have a good response.
My blood counts are most of the time normal, I just missed treatment one time while on this drug because of low white counts. I am due to another scan in June, so I will know more.
This is not an easy drug, but with time it seems that my body is adjusting to it. My first time was the worst, very, very tired, and strong shooting pain all over my body. The doctor lowered the dosage, and the side effects now are more tolerable. I feel very tired for a few days, I have neuropathy in hands and feet, mild diahrrea or mild constipation for a few days, lost my hair (it is growing back), no nausea or vomiting, no loss of appetite, change in taste bud for the first few days , no change in liver enzymes.
If you have any more questions, just PM me, and I will be happy to help.
I pray that the treatment you choose will the right for you.
Hugs,
KarlaV.
