I had A/C - which is the same, doxorubicin can be called adriamycin. Confusing isn't it, all these new terms. Not sure which bit does it, but it's pretty effective in some degree of hair loss. Everyone is a little bit different, so degree, soreness, what hair goes and when can vary. But seriously, never be embarrassed by asking a doctor. Most of us start off as bc virgins - we learn by asking, each other often, but very particularly our doctors. Ask often. And if you don't understand (it can be mind boggling), ask again. Ask for information in writing. You are entitled to know every bit as much as you want to. Take care and best wishes.
