Dear her2 friends,
After several months of Tykerb/Abraxane, I have experienced "dangerous" progression. I was told I must change chemo right away! As you can understand, it is a scary time for me. I have been offered Herceptin/Gemzar. I have experienced quite a bit of diarrhea during my Tykerb/Abraxane. What kind of side effects are common with Gemzar? I am especially wondering about DIGESTION and about BLOOD COUNTS. If some of you wise women can let me know your thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it. Knowing experiences and views of the her2 friends in this group means so much to me and I am so grateful for all of you in this group. Lida
