Really worried this time

I have had a recurrence of my ovarian cancer, I had the first course of my recommended 2nd line  chemotherapy. Unfortunately after only 24 mls of a litre bag i had an acute reaction which necessitated an emergency response. After much discussion with my medical team they recommend the same drug Liposomal Doxorubicin but over six hours infusion with steroid cover.

I am terrified as I thought I was going to die last time. My tumor is complicated and I am not suitable for EARP. 
Has  anyone else had this sort of problem.
