Re: Adriamycin
I had 4 Adriamycin and Cytoxin. It was very hard on me, but I know it helped kick cancer behind.
I lost my hair starting at day 17, had mouth sores and thrush at about treatment 3, had bad stomach acid, food and water tasted terrible (although I did not lose a pound), I had massive fatigue, constipation, hemorrhoids, sleep problems, and more. For 3 months or more, I just crawled from the bed to the bathroom and back.
But as bad as it is going through it, it's like having a baby. Bad at time, but as time goes by, the memory fades.
It's worth doing to hit the BC as hard as possible.
