Gemcitabine
Hi fellow warriors I haven't posted for a while but am on here daily getting my fix of courage & love. I'm currently being treated for my third recurrence. I've been on Carbo/Gem + Avastin since March. A few delays to treatment due to flu, covid, low neutrophils & low platelets. Just recently I had

gemcitabine

gemcitabine

Gemcitabine

GemCarbo and picc line advice please!
Does the second dose of
gemcitabine
on day 8 mean that side effects (particularly sickness, diarrhoea or constipation and being prone to infection) are more spread out across the 3 weekly cycle?

pleural effusion
I was having 3 weekly cycles of
Gemcitabine
plus Cisplatin . I missed the 3rd cycle because of the pleural effusion . I will re start next week and hope that it will reduce my Ca125 . I hope all that made sense . I’m in the UK , so Elahere isn’t an option as a next treatment yet .

Gemcitabine and Avastin (no Carbo)
For my mom's second recurrence, the doctor suggested
Gemcitabine
and Avastin without Carbo, as she got kidney issues and potential liver mets with the last regimen with Carbo+Caelyx. Has anyone used Gem and Avastin without Carbo? Was it effective? Did you have any side effects?

Chemo in Tablet Form
I have gone through all the various chemo treatments available (pacitaxol, carboplatin, Caelyx,
Gemcitabine
, Niraparib and a trial. I was hoping to go on another trial but due to plural effusion, collapsed lung etc unfortunately I cannot now do this.

Advice needed please
Then had Carboplatin only, and then they added
Gemcitabine
. I had a huge reaction to this and ended up in hospital for a week. I also had Cellulitis. In my leg and then three weeks later I was in hospital again with Sepsis.

Update on swollen legs/feet
He felt the swelling was due to
Gemcitabine
. Apparently it is a common side effect!Only trouble now is my platelets are only 35, so not sure if chemo can go ahead next week. Having a further blood test on Tuesday.

Epigenetic therapy (decitabine) shows promise for endocrine-resistant breast cancer
Using a low dose of the epigenetic therapy drug decitabine, which is currently used to treat some blood cancers, the researchers significantly suppressed the growth of endocrine resistant breast tumours in mice and increased survival time by 90%. The finding, which will be tested in a future Phase I

Have you been on Gemcitabine (Gemzar)?
Hello, I am starting
Gemcitabine
tomorrow and am wondering if anyone has advice on this chemo? Is it well tolerated? A nurse told me today I should get a port, my Oncologist said I should be fine without one.

How prostate cancer transforms into aggressive NEPC following treatment with anti-androgen therapy.
This could be a game changer as it could stop PCa from progressing. Science is going to save us. The development of effective anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer is a major scientific advance. However, some men who receive these targeted treatments are more likely to develop a deadly treatment-resistant
