I was diagnosed in Aug 09 with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I had surgery and 6 rounds of chemo; carboplatin and taxol and finished in Jan 07. I've been in remission for a year and feel great, however my PET scan shows that the cancer has returned, so I am going to start Doxil this thursday. I was wondering what other people think of this drug...are the side effects bad. The dr said they are mild compared to carboplatin/taxol. Any info is appreciated.

Hi!
I also was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer, stage 3 last July. After a radical surgery and 6 months of chemo, it has now retruned and I was advised to use doxil.
I am told the side effects are mild as well, and am wondering how you are doing.
Please respond and maybe we can try to do this together.
Thanks, Sharon
