For Breast Cancer "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."

For Breast Cancer "I did not experience any side effects, but based on a clinical trial result, I walked at a brisk pace for an hour most days to avoid cardiotoxicity."

For Breast Cancer "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."

For Lymphoma "It will melt away your tumors quickly, however, it has quite the delayed effect for nausea and vomiting. Make sure your oncologist gets you on some supportive meds!"
