Gemzar is the only chemo that has worked for me. I just found out today that my cancer markers went down quite a bit & my cancer spots are shrinking.

I'm careful to eat fruit after each treatment as the anti-nausea meds cause constipation.

I feel very good. Have had low blood cell counts, but dr has not given me anything for that, just lowered my doses to 50 & 75 percent. Have my first cat scan Friday. Hope it's working because I'm tolerating it very well!

Gemzar/Carbo combination for 3Neg Br Ca mets to lungs. Worked great but too hard on my platelets. Took a 3 month break, have progression but can't go back onto this regimen. Tolerated it very well, no problems other than the platelet count. No Neulasta shots given.
