Cytoxan Reviews
Working / Worked
Worked in concert with Adriamycin, the "Red Devil" as it is called by survivors.
Working / Worked
No appetite during this one. Lost weight but it came back later. Food tasted metallic and yucky. Ate lots of baked potatoes and chicken sandwiches.
Working / Worked
The cytoxin was administered after the Adriamycin on the same day. Still had no problems!
Somewhat Helpful
