When I started chemo for a
When I started chemo for a first recurrence 2 years ago, I was given Doxil initially. I developed what seemedlike an odd skin reaction, not the usual Doxil skin rash. It covered an area where I had received radiation for breast cancer 10 yrs before. My gyn onc said it could be radiation recall which can occur with Doxil and he switched me to Gemzar to avoid further complications. I had 2 cycles of Doxil with rash after 2nd worse than after first. I never researched it any further but this may be a Doxil issue.
