Re: Progression in Lung Mets - Advice?
Hi Courtney,
Gesh, I'm sorry this is happening to you. I have been on Gemzar. For me, the side effects were very tolerable. Some hair thinning and fatigue. I have heard some people have done very well on it. I was on it for dermal lympatic invasion on my chest wall after my mastectomy. It keep me stable for about 9 months.
I hope it does the trick for you.
Hugs,
Tonya
