I don't know what dosage you're getting and if it would work for you, but you may want to ask your doctors about getting dexrazoxane (Zinecard®) with the doxorubicin. It can decrease the risk of heart damage that can go along with doxorubicin, so I thought I'd mention it. I hope the next few days come with no further bad surprises!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-79641705398501164802008-05-24T08:04:00.000-05:002008-05-24T08:04:00.000-05:00Oops!

It sounds like today's chemo session was a lot like life itself - various unpredicable things, things that you thought were yucky turn out to be good (like the tube deal turning out to be what you needed after all).<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in knowing, as soon as possible, whether you become nauxious within the next few days, or if you don't. I'm praying and crossing my fingers that you won't. That will make things much, much easier. You'll at least be able to have somewhat of a life that way.<BR/><BR/>- SusanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-11102611044770288262008-05-21T17:46:00.000-05:002008-05-21T17:46:00.000-05:00I've been thinking of you today and wondering if y...I've been thinking of you today and wondering if you'd post.
