hi everyone, my mother has stage 4 breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone and liver. A month ago she started cisplatin however, the platelets started dropping and when she did the pet scan the result came as there is bone marrow infiltration. The doctor started her on doxorubicin, she took her first dose 2 days ago. What im confused about is that there are still no side effects whatsoever after this chemotherapy and i have read that it is a strong chemotherapy that causes alot of side effects. Can someone please help me find out whats going on?
