I received Doxil for approximately 10 treatments for Stage 3C ovarian cancer last year. It was one of the most tolerable chemo drugs I have received thus far (for 3 years). Had minimal side effects. Felt great! The only thing I experienced was that my skin was prone to a rash for the first 3 days after treatment...but knowing this, was able to avoid too much of a problem. I would highly recommend the use of this drug as long as your friend is able to tolerate it.
