Re: Adriamycin

Sally,
I hope that Adriamycin wipes out your problem spots. It is really strong stuff. I felt ok after the first treatment but then it started to make me really light headed and had pretty bad issues with thrush and mouth sores. I would try to suck on ice during the infusions or popscicles. I think most people do lose their hair. Mine fell out pretty fast. I did feel weak with this drug but it only usually lasted a few days then I was able to move around pretty good.
Glad you came back here. Everyone here is wonderful and will help you in anyway they can.
Sending lots of hugs ~ Ruth
