Comment:
After my first treatment, I didnt have any other side effects. I am worried about the long term issues like congestive heart failure which can occur anytime between now and 30 years from now by taking this medicine!

Comment:
No worse than I expected - I had Adriamycin w/Cytoxan every 2 weeks for 4 cycles. Had great anti-nausea meds (Emend) and made it through working full time. It leaves you feeling pretty bad on day 4-5 for a couple of days but it beats the alternative (metastasis) of having a very aggressive breast cancer. Not easy - but doable!
