Experiences of Doxorubicin

Do you mean Doxorubicin?....... as I can't find Docorubicin.

If it is Doxorubicin...... put Doxorubicin into the Search Tool  near the top then select 'Anywhere' and this will bring up all the discussions about this drug.

I had Vincristine that is very similar...... by the time I had my chemo it looked like I had swallowed a brick!! It was something out of a Tom and Jerry film. My jaw had seized, my gums had swollen and we're coming up to cover my teeth. I was having great difficulty eating and was living on a liquid diet and my breathing was starting to be restricted. I had an initial 15min blast of Vincristine and that got me through our family Christmas. It was amazing the difference that first a Chemo blast made to the point I actually had some Christmas dinner.

Thank you Mike. I typed it incorrectly.Sounds like it worked for you.

Really appreciate your reply.

  I had that together with 3 more chemo medications, hardest time in my life, it was like an atomic bomb in your body, swollen limbs, thanks god I was able to eat well, the weakness after been active person all my life is frightening. I never lost my faith you must keep going. Important keep hydrated to drain medication out of your system, avoid direct sunlight on your skin, take it easy one day at the time !! God Bless us ALL 

If you type Red Devil it will show thats whats is called !

Thank you Gus.

Hope you are doing well.

Doxorubicin was one of my R-CHOP drugs.  I was in the toilet peeing pink within half an hour of it being run.

Tell your team about any side effects you get from chemo.  I had a couple of nasty ones which could have been due to doxorubicin but were actually due to other drugs.

Thank you Lolie.
