Doxil
I was cancer free for 3 months and am on my first reoccurance. After doing Taxol/Cabro we are now doing Doxil. Has anyone done that and what was their experiences with it.

Doxil is unavailable in
Doxil is unavailable in Canada unless you are in a clinical trial. Unfortunately, I didn't pass the criteria to enter the trial. I must investigate to see if I can purchase Doxil in the States and bring it here.
Good luck with the Doxil!

I had my first recurrence
I had my first recurrence after about 5 months remission. I had cistplatin/taxol 3 rounds. I changed doctors. the lymph nodes had increased in size. My new doctor put me on Doxil. I have had 11 rounds of it as a single agent. Scans in late August revealed that I am still stable. I have scans again Dec. 10. HOpefully disease is still stable. My recurrence 1 1/2 years ago has been contained to lymph nodes only so far.
Side effects have been minimal for me. The worst has been the fatigue. However, I'm learning that if I am very careful about what I eat and drink lots of water, that is somewhat better. I do have problems with the itchy, peeling feet.
Hopefully Doxil will work well for you.
Let me know if I can help you with questions.
