antibiotics while on chemo?
I am on cisplatin and
Gemcitabine
(Gemzar) and have developed an infection near an ancient root canal that I believe has finally failed. Has anyone safely taken a basic antibiotic such as amoxicillin while on this chemo combo?

Quality of life?
Hi ladies, I have been on Carboplatin /
Gemcitabine
for first recurrence & then on
Gemcitabine
on its own for a year which was been used as maintenance. This has worked very well for me as, remaining nodes after my last op have decreased & my oncologist is very pleased with my recent Ct scan.

low platelets and haemoglobin - treatment off
I’m on
gemcitabine
- I/v chemo. My latest bloods show haemoglobin and platelets too low to treat. Again. So I’m back in the wings, until they rise. So frustrating. has anyone else experienced this.? How did you get them back up? And how long did it take?

Post Xeloda Options…Enobosarm?
Gemcitabine
(no hair loss?) and Navelbine (occasional hair loss?) was mentioned for her. Has anyone been on either of these? As always, thanks so much for any feedback.

Hello friends. It's me again. Bone Biopsy + Dr. nonsense.
He gave me 3 choices -cisplatin+
gemcitabine
, which also states it too will become resistant eventually, but in 4-5 months? 2nd, taxane (nab-pacitaxol) docetaxil (sp) and 3rd sacituzumabgovitecan-hziy, which is trodelvy and stated well, that one is going to need a lot of paperwork.

Update.
I had decided against any more chemo but my Macmillan nurse said it often dries up the fluid in the lungs so no drainage needed, so I'm booked in for
gemcitabine
and Carboplatin on monday I'm dreading it because I always get every side effect going.

Any advice about future treatment?
So now having the 6th and final chemo of this third course ( Carboplatin and
Gemcitabine
). And I think my oncologist will just offer "watch and wait" when I talk to him. Has anyone had a similar pathway and been offered treatment at this point?

Advice on Carbo/ gemcitabine
This is my fourth line chemo since Sep 2019 - , and potentially last - carboplatin and
gemcitabine
. My oncologist is incredible ( research lead at Royal Marsden) and we had a long talk about quality of life. I trust her implicitly.

Need advice re: Stomach pains and Acid Reflux after eating?
So I started my 2nd course of chemotherapy (i've had 3 sessions so far, 3 more to go), of Carboplatin and
Gemcitabine
. I just wondered if anyone has any advice about constant stomach pains and acid reflux after eating / drinking, which i've been troubled by for about 3 months now?

Carboplatin/ Gemcitabine
I had the day 8 dose of
gemcitabine
today, within an hour or so of taking the steroids needed before treatment the pain eased. I saw an oncology registrar today, she examined my tummy and said it was nice and soft. She prescribed laxatives , co codamol and orimorph.

Fistula
I started 3rd line chemo carbo/
gemcitabine
in mid April. Within 36 hours or so I started to have horrible abdominal pain. I went to A&E as advised by oncology helpline and they gave me pain killers. A week later I was admitted to hospital.

Gemcitabine vs Topotecan
Hi all Was wondering if anyone had opinions or experience of whether
Gemcitabine
or Topotecan have advantages/disadvantages over each other? Either would be given together with Avastin on a weekly basis.

DNMT1-mediated epigenetic silencing of TRAF6 promotes prostate cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis by enhancing EZH2 stability
Just published research on DNMT-1 epigenetic pathway in Prostate Cancer. Authors suggest "Our results also show that targeting DNMT1 with its inhibitor decitabine (an FDA-approved drug) is an appealing treatment strategy for CRPC patients through epigenetic suppression of both DNMT1-mediated DNA methylation

Fistula
Hi ladies After the first cycle of
gemcitabine
/carbo given as third line chemo. I developed a fistula between my stomach and small bowel. I was very poorly with sepsis and spent almost a month in hospital. Since then I had another cycle of gem/carbo and ended up in hospital again.

Reply to jersey-jazz. I thought you might also be interested in my medical history.
After five months, progression and she gave me option of
gemcitabine
plus Herceptin or clinical trials. That’s the time when she told me I don’t have many options left. I am going to have this chemo next Tuesday as my first cycle. Thanks for reading my long long medical history.
