Re: gemzar anyone?
Sorry to hear about your hip, Delaney but I have multiple bone mets and they are not causing me any trouble, possibly thanks to Zometa which I have been having since 2007. I was on Gemcitabine but only briefly while the onc was running through all the possible combinations of chemo and Herceptin before starting Tykerb (mad I know but at that time in Australia if you were given Tykerb the government refused to fund Herceptin and they still won't fund the two together.) I had already lost my hair by then thanks to Taxol but from what Elaine posted it looks like your hard won hair will hang in there! I certainly hope so. I am currently "enjoying" my fourth bout of baldness (Abraxane) and would dearly love to be hirsute again soon! Good luck with the treatment and do look after your hair as it seems you will have it for a good while yet.
Trish
