doxil/avastin regime starts today

[Shell]

I progressed on the xeloda/tykerb trial, and for the mets to the lung/lymph nodes, my onc is starting me on doxil/avastin today. I progressed on taxotere/herceptin previously, and thus having the avastin with a taxane wasn't an option for me.

I got severe H/F on the xeloda, and H/F is also a side-effect of the doxil (ugh), but apparently having ice packs at the wrists and ankles during infusion is supposed to reduce the effects significantly. We shall see!
