The "A" in ABVD stands for Adriamycin, more affectionately known as "The Red Devil" by chemotherapy patients. This is apparently one of the more toxic drugs I am on, as well as the one that makes me the sickest after treatment. It is also the drug I mentioned in a previous post as being caustic to skin an muscle tissue. This is why it must be "pushed" by a nurse as opposed to just dripping down through a normal IV.Please note the sickening red color of the medicine as it is pushed.
And the photo doesn't do it justice! In reality it's the same color as another toxic substance you used to ingest in mass quantities: the Cherry Icee.
