Gemcitabine (Gemzar) - Your experience??
Exhausted usefulness of Ibrance/Faslodex. Experienced heart issues on 1st treatment of Xeloda, and onc says not wise to try again. So, knowing I react poorly to Taxol, he’s recommending gemcitabine infusions. Reading paper specifics are one thing- hearing your experiences are quite another. I’d be grateful

*New Treatment*
Gemzar
burns a little going in but that’s because I have tiny veins. The nurse slowed down the rate of administration so that helped.

Genomic testing for the right drug for your type of cancer cell.
After being on
Gemzar
every three weeks on one off. My oncologist said it was not working. My markers went from around 780 to 3,800 So I am not lucky. Taxol did bring markers down to the 700's but side effects were bad. I just started Abraxane last week.

Liver enzymes super high
I am on Carbo,
Gemzar
, and Avastin. I could not start my second cycle due to low wbc’s. So I had two weeks off of chemo. In that time my liver enzymes ate through the roof. They went from 57 to 457 in that time had anyone else had this experience?

Foundation one genomic testing
The other one the found was IV chemo with
Gemzar
. So I will be starting chemo Jan 6 it will be three weeks on one week off. I hope it works as we have tried several cocktails that did not. My markers went down to 300 when I was on Taxol I then got very sick and had to stop.

My treatment journey
Since my Stage 1 breast cancer found in 2012 I have had Taxol, Taxotere,
Gemzar
and Abraxane. 55 rounds. Just remember there always new drugs and procedures coming out. So I never give up hope.

Integrative? Success with supplements - food choices prolonging remission?
The latest was almost a year and a half of Carbo/
Gemzar
also with Avastin. Now I am ONLY on Avastin, NED for almost 6 months. I was NED during most of last chemo also. I always take all sorts of supplements and foods, and I am revisiting some I dropped like green tea and reishi mushrooms.

News from Cork
So I was looking forward to completing
Gemzar
regime a month ago and hiccup!!!!! It had stopped working. I got a few weeks reprieve to gather myself and started Caelyx last week. I found the first few days reasonable but at weekend bowels played up.

CT Scan - Update
Platinum-based
Gemzar
if I’m high percentage ER-positive or Immunotherapy with Abraxane if I’m low percentage ER-positive as that is counted as being triple negative, which Immunotherapy has been approved for.

Hello ladeez.
After only two sessions her oncologist is saying that she is not strong enough for this regime (carbo /
gemzar
) because her bone marrow is not recovering quickly enough and they are suggesting stopping this treatment in favour of another.
