I am on Doxil for bone mets. I have been on it for almost 4 months. It seems to be effective for me. My markers went in half after the 2nd treatment. Of course there are side effects, however not as bad as Adriamycin. This is the same drug as Adria except it is given in a globule of fat, called a liposome. It is longer acting so you only have to get it once a month. And no hair loss....well it does thin, but I am not bald! The effects on the heart aren't as damaging as well. I wish her lots of luck!
