I had not heard of Caelyx so I did a google search. It is just Doxorubicin (also known as Adriamycin or the 'Red Devil') formulated differently. Doxorubicin has been used for a very long time and it is the chemotherapy that we all think of when we hear about someone having to undergo treatment for cancer - eg nausea, vomiting, hair loss etc. It is formulated so that it circulates in your blood longer and hence is longer acting. I imagine the side effects are similar to those of Doxorubicin. Let us know how you go.
