I do Doxorubicin and Cytoxan. The combo is called AC. I really have been lucky with minimal side effects. Doxorubicin is nicknamed Red Devil. My biggest issues has been fatigue, nausea, constipation on days 3-5. By day 6 I am still fatigued and nauseous but not as bad. My best recommendation is listen to your body. I switched my chemo from Tuesdays to Thursdays. Due to the steriods they give me prior to treatment, I feel like a rock star Thursday afternoons and on Fridays. By Saturday, I just want to sleep and it gives me the weekend to recover for work on Monday. I have done 2 rounds now and my 3rd is scheduled in 13 days. Is there something in particular that concerns you or just overall want to know reactions? Everyone is different. Just listen to your body. 😊
