Re: From TriciaK: Suggestions or advice, anyone??
Tricia - I am sorry to hear you are facing all these issues. I don't know about lung mets so can't offer anything there on your questions. I do know gemzar is a good drug and is used a lot and tolerated well. I was on it for only a short time but felt very well on it. It did knock down platelets though. I'm wondering if you got an antibiotic for the ear infection? I think you and your doctor are very on top of things and are moving ahead. I wouldn't think waiting 2 weeks to start the gemzar should matter, but like you, I'd want to start now. Can you ask to start earlier? You remain in our prayers. I hope the gemzar with H will wipe out some of those symptoms of the lung mets quickly and shrink them back down to nothing. Will watch for more updates. Pam
