Major issues on GemCarbo and losing weight

Hi Ladies,

I was diagnosed in November 2015. I have done great until now. Eribulin was a cake walk, Ibrance and Faslodex I felt like i didn’t even have cancer. Even Taxol for 9 months was easy for me. Now I’ve had three cycles of Gemcarbo and I feel like I’m back when I was diagnosed. I vomit even w anti nausea drugs, I’ve lost 12 pounds and I don’t really have any weight to lose. I’ve been having really bad gerd and that might be from ascites which keeps building and I keep having drained every 2 weeks. Going to have an endoscopy done. I’m switching oncologists and going to a new cancer center. They are having me see a palliative care Dr Monday. Has anyone else had these sort of issues where you are doing great then bam w a diff treatment your quality of life takes a nose dive?

Thank you

Debbie
