I couldn't take it. Allergic to it!

Doxil was tough for me. Make SURE you hold frozen water bottles in your hands during a little before and during infusion and use cold therapy booties on your feet or at minimum put feet on a cooler pad (like for picnic coolers) and change often...keeps chemo away from hands and feet to help prevent neuropathy. Doxil caused hand/foot syndrome for me....burn like sensation for few days in feet and palms and soles of feet turned red. Legs were red from knee to ankle but no pain. Sadly some mouth sores too, but used salt water/baking soda rinses. Used magic mouthwash but SPARINGLY...ONLY SWISH FOR 2 SECONDS . I learned the hard way and felt like I could not breathe or swallow. (like too much novacaine at dentist) Usual fatigue......sadly Doxil did not work for me after all that !! Back to taxol. Became allergic to carboplatin after about 25 infusions of that too,

Ask your doctor for a tube of lidocaine-prilocaine ointment. I am allergic to Doxil but have used the above for neuropathy pain and it does help!
