    I received Adriamycin and
    I received Adriamycin and Cytoxan. They pushed the Adriamycin in, it's orange. Makes you pee orange, too. Then the Cytoxan was a drip.

    Then my next 4 chemos I have to have Taxotere.

    There's all kinds of combo's, though, depending on the type of BC you have. My friend didn't get the A/C.
