Good morning Westonan, yes this helped a great deal. I’ve been sitting on a fence ( not a compfy place to sit) with this. Thay do have a few variations of this drug, it’s Peglated libsomal Doxirubicin, and carbo. Not sure if you had the same. Think i read they increase the dose around 3rd or 4th, i fear it’s going to do more harm than good. And really just want to run😆
I’m 67, and trying to weigh it all out, nice having cognitive back for a minute. Did you notice anything that area?
In the NW , Oregon, and try to stay active as well. Frontline reduced my walks, 3 to 5 and sometimes 10 miles down to a few blocks a day. Chair exercises with the older folks, lol 90s and 100. Still a kid❣️
Icing ankles and wrist is suppose to help with hand and foot syndrome.
So pleased to hear you kept your hair, they said thinning was possible. Then i read from a woman hers thinned 80% ahhhh lol 😝
Just figure I don’t like advertising this chapter of my life anymore, makes people uncomfortable, and affects self esteem.
Can’t tell you how much your response means to me, may take photo to reread when low on faith.
So thanks again, I really hope the everolinus works for you as well. Are you Brca pos? I’m neg ,hrd plus, and folate high.
It’s been growing since may, not on ct, MRI showed two lymph node nodes, one in groin, one near heart. Neither accessible for radiation or biopsy. In the sigmoid as well, so many concerns with constipation, or diarrhea. Oh dear. Elahere is a potential, none of this appealing.
Hope all goes well, you seem to have the right attitude and spirit. Are you with a recognized cancer hospital group?
Thanks again …and yes it helped❣️❣️❣️❣️
Later my friend , Hugs. Me

So glad I was able to help. I had Liposomal DOXOrubicin and carboplantin. The doxil amount remained the same for the 6 infusions. The carbo did change, I think maybe it had to do with my weight? I am 75, 5.4ish" weight is around 130-134, and not Braca positive. Tumor cells were HER2 positive 2+, ER and PR negative. I am not with a recognized cancer group. I receive my care from Mayo in JAX but live hours away from Mayo. I didn't have any nausea with this treatment but did have some from Enhertu. Someone told me to just plan to spend some cozy days in bed when I felt badly. Again, I tried to just walk everyday and keep to a schedule with things like meals and shopping. Definitely keep up a social life when you are feeling up to it. You might find that weeks 3 & 4 are relatively ok. The very best to you teal sister!
