I took adriamycin/cytoxin for four months. I did
lose my hair on the 17th day. I felt fine most of
the time until my counts went down and then they
gave me the neulasta shot which was bad for me.
Bone ache and pain. It lasted two days. It did help
my counts but fatigue was an issue toward the end
but all in all not bad
Best of luck to you that this will be the chemo for
you. It is a strong one.
