I'm new in the community but not newly diagnosed. I had surgery for a pleiomorphic sarcoma two years ago. It has now recurred but is inoperable. I start doxorubicin as palliative chemo on Wednesday. It will be combined with dexamethasone and antiemetics. I would be interested in advice as to how to manage with the chemo. I'm thinking of writing a blog to help myself through the next few weeks.
Thanks to the community...I have found it useful so far,

Hi Sue456 Colin had his 4th chemo on Friday and he is currently having 2 units of blood as we speak! His next 2 treatments have been postponed so he can have surgery on the lumps under his arm and back removed and who knows if they can take any of the other 4 that are dotted around!! 6January pencilled in for the operation and fingers crossed.
Hope you're ok. I need to find your blog on here somewhere again lol!!
