The cancer is progressing again. I have several tumors in my liver but two stubborn ones are progressing. And I have a few nodules in my lungs and he said it look like some of them are growing not much he said though, and I also have a tumor on the tail of my pancreas and that stayed stable. So he put me on Gemzar It seems I can't find any treatment that will last longer than four months I pray this one will. I am not going to stress about this just positive thoughts that all I will allow. But I would love to hear some responses from my lovely ladies who have been on Gemzar and how they made out and if any side effects. Thank you all I love you!
