First Doxil Dose Yesterday

My first Doxil dose was yesterday.  There was one minor hiccup.  I had a "reaction" to the steroids.  I think it might have been the sensation from the power port they installed on Wednesday.  I got flushed, my blood pressure was high, and I felt like my heart was rushing.  I did end up finishing the dose, though they added benadryl before and more IV fluids.

Positive note:  I think that my pleural effusion is clearing.  I already feel so much better on that front.  I'm hoping it's not the steroids that is doing it.  I have had no real side effects other than some fatigue, but I'm taking my anti-nausea medications and that could account for some of the nausea.

I tried some new Juicing, and I don't like the taste of the juice I made.  If anyone has any suggestions/recipes it would be appreciated.  I know that juicing probably is NOT going to work, but I like trying it just in case.  The combination was carrot, spinach, apple, and pineapple.
