Hi Lida,
I've been on Gemzar, Tykerb and Avastin since early July. I am on weekly infusion (3 weeks on, 1 week off). It has been one of the easiest chemos for me. I take a premed for nausea (my onc used Iloxy) but have had no stomach issues. I feel tired the day of and a little tired the day after, but the rest of the week is fine. No hair loss, no mouth sores. My white count goes up and down but has not gone below 3.0. My RBCs have stayed strong and platelets too. It has worked for me so far, scans in two weeks.
Hope it works for you!
