Sandy-

Your posts always inpsire me, and I hope your new treatment goes well for you... I had doxil and did not experience hair loss.

I also had it within a few months of xeloda/tykerb, and despite my best efforts to reduce the H/F syndrome, my hands got really sore. Doxil gives the docs a bag with the ice packs, and udder cream, and sunscreen, etc. - we kept the ice packs right there at the office - to be put on the wrists and ankles during infusion...

I had herceptin along with the doxil, with no apparent problems.

Good luck w/ things, and you are in our thoughts and prayers...
