Getting started with Doxil
Today Sarah got her first round of doxil. After telling us about the reduced level of side effects the nurse then proceeded to detail several pages of "do's and don'ts" for preventing additional side effects. Browsing around I find that some people find Doxil a walk in the park and others seem to get hammered. I hope it goes smoothly for Sarah, she has been kicked around lately. Anyone have experience with Doxil, or advice on management of side effects? Looks like mouth sores and hand-foot syndrome are the biggest problems.
thanks.
Steve
