I was prescribed Doxil 50mg/25ml Inj last week. It's been a rollercoaster. Really hoping it targets the cancer cells quickly, but I'm nervous about possible side effects. I've heard good things about this liposomal coating, but it's still hard to know what to expect. Has anyone else had experience with Doxil, and how did it go? Any tips on managing side effects would be much appreciated too! Also what did the doctors say about the side effects this medicine makes urine turn orange? That's a bit strange to me.

I'm starting Doxil (liposomal doxorubicin) for ovarian cancer next week. Has anyone here had experience with this chemotherapy drug? I've read about the potential side effects, but I'm curious about real-life experiences. How bad is the hair loss? Did anyone experience severe fatigue? And how about the red urine? Is it as scary as it sounds? Also, how did you manage the side effects? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
