Thanks for your response.

I have looked into the safety issue of Doxil. Because it is encapsulated in a closed liposome its seems by studies to be less cardio toxic than the Adriamycin.

Studies showing usage of both Doxil and Herceptin seem very positive not cardio toxic.

In my case I have already done the Taxane drug line. So my next option is Doxil.
