Doxile

[patricia54053]

Had chemo today. Carbo/doxile. 15mins into doxile starting. Started breaking into a sweat and throwing up. Lot of pain in stomach. Pushed emergency button. Chemo stopped. Flushed everything. Gave me 30mins then started it again at a slower pace. All went well until I got home after 7pm and hospital rang. I left without meds 😠😠😠 not a great day lol

Hi Patricia

Thanks marleyz. Least it's every 4 weeks, more time to recover

sorry you had that experience. What recurrence are you on? I am on third and had option for Carbo/taxol or Doxil/Gemma. Choose Carbo /taxol because recurrence with that was 9 months then 1 year. If this doesn’t do the trick then on to doxil combo, please let me know how you do after a few treatments. Stay positive and strong

I had carbo /taxol first time. Took a reaction to taxol, so carbo on its own , all good for nearly 3 years, then reccurance. So carbo /doxile, see how it goes

I hope you are feeling better now. Keep us informed on treatments. Just started Carbo/Taxol again. If doesn’t work then Doxil/gem.

I’m sorry you had a bad reaction. I am starting Doxil in about two hours😝. Had carbo twice before and am platinum resistant they think. Good luck!

Hugs, carol

How are you getting on with chemo Carol, my stomach very sore at times ,taste in mouth yuk,and that sicky feeling , does it get any better,

[caf132 in reply to patricia54053]

TY for asking. Day 1 and 2 were fine. I started feeling queasy day 3 and worse on day 4. No appetite, threw up

Once. Stomach and whole digestive track swelled up

Like a balloon. Severely constipated. Joint pain everywhere. Nothing makes me go to the bathroom.

Sorry to rant but I know you will understand. That’s Doxil only and my first infusion.

[caf132 in reply to caf132]

How are your symptoms ? It’s the digestive issues and swelling that’s the worst. Hugs, Carol

[patricia54053]

Just feel nauseated and bit lightheaded, taste buds up the left as usual with chemo. This is day 8 after chemo so not bad. Five week break between next chemo. Bank Holiday,
