Don't give up
Now they have me on chemo again..Carboplatin and a new one to me called
Gemzar
..probably not spelling these right, anyway my hair is growing back from the last time and hopefully I won't lose it again, which is only a small thing, but nevertheless, it matters.

Genetic testing BRCA Negative, Tumor BRCA+
They decided to surgically remove, chemo again carbo/
gemzar
(too much neuropathy from Taxol). This time she was told that the lymph nodes removed tested positive for BRCA. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

What options after chemo?
The doc then tried
Gemzar
and now Taxol. She previously indicated that she would try Caelyx if the taxol didn't work but Mam always seems to have an allergic reaction to her chemo so the consultant thinks it would make her worse.

gemzar and parp inhibitor
I start
gemzar
tomorrow day one and day 8, not sure how that will go I get sick thinking about it, Has any one had luck with
gemzar
. In two weeks parp inhibitor is being approved for all not just gene mutation . Dr. said it could be couple months before it happens.

Recurrence!
They will try to shrink the tumors with carbo,
gemzar
and avastin as they say surgery is not the best choice this time around. I have had this combo before with success so my fingers are crossed. I know I can do this again but am having a little problem with thinking positive this time.

Diagnosed April 2016 Whipple 5-25-16 need digestive help
Thankfully was able to have Whipple (5-25-16) surgery followed by chemo of abraxene and
gemzar
. The chemo failed me and it spread to my liver. I was switched over to a new chemo which did wonders bringing my ca-19-9 down to 44! It presently is 149, still not bad.

Docetaxel and Ramucirumab
Well I just left my oncologist and he is switching my chemo because the carboplatin and
Gemzar
arent working. Has anyone had any experience with these two drugs we are switching to? I understand I will lose my hair this time.

Stage IV cancer recurrence
I will be starting Cisplatin and
Gemzar
along with the avastin that have been on. Is this just a waste time of time ? Do I really have a chance ? Has anyone Ben on these drugs? Is it as bad as taxol and carboplasin? Is there a chance for survival?

Effects of taking Lomperamide with Ldn
My husband has pancreatic cancer - he had a Whipple operation last Jan but after 4 months of
Gemzar
& a lot of side effects a Pet scan showed that the cancer had spread - unfortunately with his type of cancer it is useful to be able to take Lomeramide from time to time! Thanks Chris

How can I get relief for ascites?
Now on
Gemzar
. Worse side effects and no relief of ascites. Dr is going to drain ascites if it's not down by next week. I had such high hopes for this treatment now I'm so disappointed. Very depressed.
