What are the side effects of this chemo Eva use I’m on Motrin 3 times a day for pain in my back where the lobe Tony took place and when I don’t take Motrin the pain is unbearable and I was diagnosed lung cancer in 2017 then did chemo had right lobectomy then it spread to brain and I had a few Mets about a year ago but I’m checked every 90 days mri and ct of chest, lungs clear but I have a 5 cm tumor in my chest wall kinda close to my heart so they do chemo 6 rounds I’ll be done next month, Dr says I’m stable and tumor not growing and I’m doing ct scan feb 24th so I’m thinking this pain has to be side effect of this gemzar chemo, I was on keytruda but the side effects took out my thyroid and I’m on meds for life and keytruda layer me out but this pain for gemzar is awful too... I want surgery but it’s too close to my heart that’s why they don’t radiate the tumor, anyone know anything about chest wall tumors or gemzar chemo????
