Re: Adriamycin
Sally:
AHDubose is 100 percent correct about adrianycin having a cumulative effect. Colleen really started to ratchet downwards after each treatment. Adriamycin seems to have the worst side effects of any of the chemo drugs but it is a serious cancer killing medicine. Get through these treatments any way you can and, God willing, the adriamycin will kill your cancer.
Sally, I know these are difficult times for you. You will be in our prayers.
Lee
