Re: Follow Up Chemo

Hi
I had 4 doses of adriamycin slowly by injection into a vein. I had no problems from this at all. I found adriamycin more tolerable than taxotere except got bad indigestion so took a couple of antacids and this did the trick. My onc would not give me herceptin until I had finished adriamycin as he said the risk was to high but this may have changed with further research.Did not have a steroid but had zofran afterwards which was really effective
Hope this helps
Ellie
