2 down, 10 to go!
Just finished my second of twelve rounds of Avastin,
Gemcitabine
, and Cisplatin. So far, so good. Going every two weeks - 4 hours at a clip. Very lucky so far, hair is holding steady. This is excellent because it has just grown back after my last Taxotere/Carbo regiment a year ago.

Nosebleeds
I started a new regimen of carbo and
gemcitabine
about 3 months ago. I’ve now started to have nosebleeds. Does anybody else have this issue? And is there anything that you’ve done that helps?

bladder cancer
I've had bcg and
gemcitabine
which has been ineffective. I've had 2 stents in ureters because tumor has pressed on ureters and effected kidney function. I'm 81 years old. No treatment has been offered.

Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer.
New study below [1]. 15 years ago, with the immediate failure of my prostatectomy, Lupron was offerred as an option. Having read a large number of papers where ADT mostly failed within 18-24 months, & being only 56 at the time, I was puzzled why anyone would rush into a short-lasting palliative therapy

Infusion port
Hi lovely ladies, today is my last chemo (2nd line) of
Gemcitabine
and Cisplatin. I am so looking forward to having a break from the chemo; must say it was much harder than the first line. The oncologist ordered a scan in about 4 weeks from now, so not sure yet how effective it was.

OCTOVA Trial - now open to BRCA negative women
Hi everyone, I had recurrence at Christmas, two thirds of the way through Cisplatin and
Gemcitabine
, so I am now platinum resistant and lost my chance to get a PARP inhibitor through the CDF. But, lucky timing, my recurrence coincided with the OCTOVA Trial being opened up to BRCA negative women.

Overthinking or not?
All went well after treatment finished But after 3 mths there were a few nodules showing on my peritoneum so had Caelyx but that didn’t do anything so now on
Gemcitabine
. CA125 has dropped but talking to a friend whose partner recently passed away with lymphoma she said he was immune to chemo.

Hello ladies.
I’ve had
gemcitabine
a couple of times but it doesn’t seem to do much. I see my consultant on Thursday. Will see what his next plan is. I just wish I could eat. I struggle to drink too. I’m always sick in the evening. Gets me down. I’m thin and it looks awful.

Dexamethasone tremor & confusion
I am taking this at infusion with cisplatin and
gemcitabine
but not as follow on as in first line I experienced a manic depressive episode which is identified as a steroid side effect if you have bipolar in your family (I do).

Battling ovarian cancer (recurrance)
This time it is cisplatin and
gemcitabine
, with Avastin thrown in recently too. I am about half way through the second round of chemo, but my CA125 is not going down.

In, out... in, ?
At that point I got very upset as I needed to ask questions and sign consent forms for new treatment of cisplatin and
gemcitabine
at 8.30 appt next day. Registrar and Ward doc came then and next day two from team came and got paperwork done.

Netupitant - any experiences?
Hi everyone, as ondansetron didn't do the trick for me with nausea on my first cisplatin and
gemcitabine
treatment, I have now been prescribed netupitant. Does any have experience of this drug please?

Cisplatin and gemcitabine side effects- any thoughts please?
Hi everyone I have just had my first cisplatin and
gemcitabine
treatment and am hesitant about doing the next this Friday as the side effects have been awful. Nausea and the headache from hell so I didn't want to move.

Hoping the third time is the charm
My oncologist switched me to
gemcitabine
and carboplatin which also has not worked. Cancer markers have not increased but my lymph nodes and nodules on the skin over my breast have gotten bigger.

Thank you
So they are going to start me on a 3 mth chemo treatment
Gemcitabine
ASAP. So although not great news I have to be thankful it hasn’t spread into any vital organs or elsewhere in body.

Symptoms all mixed up now
My scan from 6 weeks ago showed return of disease and the doctor wanted to start cisplatin/
gemcitabine
. I wasn't ready so decision was deferred until last appointment a week ago.
