Hi Holly, thanks for responding.Although I hate that there are so many of us on this site, I'm grateful to have a source of constant support and concern by so many wonderful women.It is truely one of the reasons I have the strength to continue to fight this horrible monster.I hope you do well with Doxil, I just finished 5 treatments,(CA125 started rising right before 6th).I didn't have many side effects, other than fatigue, and the most itchy, horrible rash that you could imagine.I was not "typical" in how mine appeared. As you probably know, the most common is the Hand and Foot Syndrome, which is the blistering on the bottom of feet and palms of hands. Make sure that who ever administers the chemo, gives you ice packs for when you are actually getting treatment. It will greatly reduce the severity, if you are affected at all.Let's hope not. Even though the rash has left me looking like I have Leprosy(sp), I would deal with it again, if I had to choose between that and vomitting and FEELING BAD for several days. I can do pain over that any day. I'm a big baby when it comes to the heaving.You'll do fine, I just remembered that you had a treatment yesterday, so I hope you're feeling ok.Take cool showers and don't wear tight clothing for awhile.Udder Balm is good to keep moisture in the skin too.Anyway, I won't keep you any longer, take care and post if you need or want to talk.
Love, Krista
