Gemzar was tough

I spent many years on Avastin since 2008 diagnosis. When I came out of remission from it. I was put on carbo/Gemzar. I had a bad reaction to the Carbo, so I had 10 treatments of Gemzar. I finally had to ask Onco to stop because I was losing my quality of life. Now that I’m off Gemzar, I’m hoping to feel stronger, with more appetite and better energy.
