"Adriamycin made me really weak, and I had to have blood transfusions. I had 4 doses. I'm coming up on 3 years cancer-free, so I think it worked well. I'm concerned about the long-term side effects."

"I was cancer free but recommended as a preventative, and it caused me more harm than any preventative. It has been 9 years, and I feel like the walking dead. I only got back 1/3 of my hair, severe depression, my menstrual cycle stopped and never started back, it took all resilience out of my skin, nerve damage in my fingertips and feet, can't stand long periods at a time, kidneys function but not like normal, body swelling, no interest in socializing or dating (single). I stay too tired to have fun or enjoy life anymore."
