- I'm a breast cancer survivor who had to take Red Devil and Taxol chemotherapy. This is my personal experience with dancing with the nasty Red Devil. I hope it helps someone else to know what to expect and hope to get through it.

Effexor - Antidepressant for Hot Flashes
Glad all is well for you. My mom had stage 2 breast cancer. Had first red devil treatment October and 4 days later had a stroke. No red devil for 4 weeks and had physical therapy for approximately 4 to 5 weeks then had her second red devil treatment two days later another stroke was in the hospital for a couple weeks. The doctor decided to give her a third red devil second week of December 3 days later back in the hospital died December 29, they said cause of death was pneumonia. She was normal and getting ready to go get in her car to get her hair done for the last time October 26 had a stroke and died December 29. Red devil treatment killed her what really bothered me a week before she died the cancer doctor came in the room and said well. Looks like you’re gonna have to make a decision, but if she survives this, we will probably switch her to a pill . Why didn’t he do that or offer that before? She had three strokes and died?
My aunt is about to go through it. She's on a harsh regiment, 24 weeks then a break, then she gets the red devil. Her husband died last year of cancer, so this is already a hard time. Your video is so helpful! I plan to get her a chemo bag thanks to your advice ❤ so glad you're doing good!
I really appreciate this video, thank you! I am a 2 time ovarian cancer survivor. Initially & for my 1st recurrence I got Carboplatin & taxotere. I lost my hair, which I didn't care about, but sailed through chemo. I'm having my 2nd recurrence & will get Carboplatin, Doxil & aviston. I admit, I've been a bit cocky assuming I'll sail through this as well. Maybe I'll be lucky, but I am so thankful to know what to prepare for just in case. My hair is very healthy and below my shoulders, but I'm getting it cut into a pixie in the near future. I may not lose it all, but I don't need it clogging my drains. Thank you and I pray you are doing well! (This was my first video of yours).
I hope you are doing okay ❤️🥰
Hi I had the same treatment. HER2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I to did a bilateral mastectomy then chemo 1 month later for 4 treatments. Red devil as well however I refused to not go to work and did well not getting sick. I had on body Nuelasta, and that just about killed me. Did not put me into menopause but destroyed my mouth. That was horrible but been in remission for almost 5 years now. I do have long term side effects but overall I'm alive. Sending hugs!
Thanks...just finished my 6 cycles of Doxo...I am surviving!!
How was it for you? I start mine next week.
So happy for your good health.May God bless you.
Thank you for helping others get through this. My friend just started this. ❤❤❤prayers continue for you
Praying for your friend!
Thank you for all your advice.
From South Africa.
i started the red evil through a syring yesteraday and i get the next in 3 weeks im ok just tired was given steriods n sickness pills and had 9 sessions with a cold cap and lost no hair
Thanks so much for making this great video to help others who are going through what you went through. Very informative. God bless you.
My 45 year old niece is fixing to start this next week. Thanks for the video.
I started the red devil on 12/21/2023. I got put in the hospital on 12/29/2023. My blood counts ate really low. I thought about stopping this chemo treatment. God bless
I want to stop 2 or lower dose & my doctor won't budge. How is it going with you?
I barely made it through the red devil, but the Tamoxifin was easy other than I started to get numb toes and had to stop after 8 weeks.
BC stage 3, E+, 52 year old here.
Constipation, acid reflux where my problems. Yes, I was tired but I would sleep for 4-5 days and it wasn’t bad as I thought it will be.
First, I think immunotherapy thing in my arm would make me feel bad. In first round I didn’t take Claritin as recommended and felt back bone pain like hell but it didn’t happen in next rounds. I learned hard way.
Constipation-was bad(4-5days) and in second round I would drink 1liter of kefir. Helped amazingly 🙏🏻❤️
After day 4 acid reflux 😢
so I would prepare home made soup , eat only plums, peaches , berry.
Day 8 after chemo I would feel like old me with good energy.
Smoothies I eat:
-small peace of beet
-1/2 cup cranberry (pure juice no sugar)
-organic apple
-berry
-fresh parley (1 branch)
-ginger
-1 small spoon honey
-1 cup water
Kefir did amazing for me.
I would buy 5 liter for first week.
Instead lemon use fresh pepper. Pepper is number 1 source of C vitamin.
I wish you all the best!!! 🙏🏻❤️
Fresh parsley , not parley 😅
Thank you for sharing
I'm taking 5mg of Lexapro for hot flashes. I have lupus and metastatic melanoma. It's not rid me of the flashes, but has helped quite a bit
Thank you for doing this! We were told that there needs to be extra precautions when being around other people and extra precautions with cleaning. Could you explain your experience and how you navigated that.
I did not do anything special for cleaning. Drs. never told me to. I was on a rollercoaster. Super sick for days, then felt fine but my white blood cells would drop to zero. I couldn’t go in public without a mask. They give you a shot to get them to raise which gives you some bone pain. Claritin helped take that pain away.
I was diagnosed in 2011 and had TAC chemo which includes adrimycian. I still have hot flashes 12 years later
I'm so sorry! They are awful! I'm on Effexor now, which is an antidepressant, but it's for hot flashes. It works for me. Maybe you can try it?
Thank you for this experience everything except the menopause...my white blood count dropped to 0.4 ....but sometimes the way I feel I question myself like what am I doing wrong...the RED DEVIL socks and they should call it coolaid
Love your wig where did you get it
It's online at Rocqel Welch.

Thank you for sharing this! I am about to finish my 12 weekly taxol then start red devil on Nov 3. Can you tell me the type of Zicam you used? I am having an incredibly hard time with taste right now from the Taxol.. thank you!
It was the nasal swab.
Thanks for shearing! One more to go and this last one gave me a fit.
You got this!🎉
Can you tell me where did you get your wig from? Thank you
It is a Raquel Welch wig. I went to a wig shop and tried a bunch on. The best are the ones that a hand sewn with a front lace hairline.
It is Racquel Welch and the name was Simmer, but I don't remember the shade. You can find it online. I found this at a local wig shop in Daytona.
Can you post the link to your exact style/color wig, it’s is absolutely perfect!
Can you post the link to your wig?

6:40 which anti depressant? thanks
Doxo helped kill my hubby (the Burkitt’s was gone when he died though, YAy!)
What dose was your red devil? I'm trying to get mine lowered & they don't want me to.
Honestly, I'm not sure. I had two large vials injected into the port.
Please lete know the name of the antidepressant that helps with hot flushes
Effexor
Did you take a Covid vaccine?
Doxorubicin is awful
It is the PITS!
Thank you for sharing. i wish you all the best in the world.even after chimo u are still gorgeous. my wife will start this treatment next week/ can you tell me the name of the wig shop?
It's from Racquel Welch, online.
Do you know why the doctor didn’t offer you the cold cap where you can preserve your hair during a red treatment? Doctors don’t understand the trauma of women losing their hair and now it’s currently preventable
Honestly, I would have never been able to keep up with it during that treatment. I was so sick sometimes it was all I could do just to show up. I am also on Verzenio now which might cause me to lose hair too.
@@TeachersBrain I hope you are doing well today.
In remission and feeling better every day. :) Thank you.
