Hi all dince my first tx I've had what I thot was lower back strain - I normally have no back problems

While trying to learn more abopit Doxil - I came across back pain as one of the possible side effects

Just curious if anyone else knowsabout or has experienced this this?

    Doxil

    Hi, Susan!

    Sounds like you are having a variety of annoying symptoms.  With everything our bodies are going through, it is hard to know what's going on.

    My experience with Doxil was short lived, only 2 or 3 doses.  I had a terrible skin reaction, with thick burning blisters over hands, feet, and any where skin touches skin...use your imagination!  Off work 6 weeks, in a wheelchair for 3 weeks.

    The important question is, is the Doxil working?  If it is, do whatever you can to tolerate the annoyances.  The chemo choices are limited, and if you get one that works, even for just a while, do your best to stay on it.

    Wishing you relief!
