Side Effects
IT DESTROYED MY SPOUSES LIVER. SHE HAD CIRRHOSIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NO PROBLEMS UNTIL STARTED TREATMENTS OF DOXIL. AFTER THIRD TREATMENT HER LIVER COMPLETLY FAILED. THE DOCTORS INVOLVED NEVER PERFORMED ALL THE LIVER FUCTION BLOOD TESTS. THEY KNEW PRIOR ABOUT HER LIVER PROBLEM, BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. PRIOR AT A HOSPITAL IN HAWAII SHE WAS ON GEMZAR AND CISPLATIN. ONLY SIDE EFFET WAS LOW BLOOD COUNTS, PLATELETS, SOME HAIR LOSS AND TIREDNESS WHICH ENDED IN ABOUT THREE DAYS. NEVR GOT NAUSEAS. SHE ALSO HAD CORONARY HEARTH DISEASE WITH LEFT AND RIGHT STENTS. AGAIN DOTCTORS KNEW. i TOLD THEM TO GIVE HER GEMZAR AND CISPLATIN OR CARBOPLATIN. THEY STILL DID WHAT THEY WANTED TO. MUST GOTTEN BIG BUCKS FOR USING DOXIL. SHE PASSED AWAY DEC 5, 2008.

Additional Thoughts
DOXIL SUCKS AND SHOULD BE USED ON ANIMALS ONLY. NO THATS NOT RIGHT, JUST DUMP IT. mY WIFE WAS NEVER A HEAVY DRIKER AND HAD NOT HAD A DRINK AT LEAST TEN YEARS OR MORE, BUT SHE WAS DIABETIC FOR FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. MAYBE THIS CAUSED THE CIRRHOSIS?
