Hi Lolly,
I was on Gemzar for 5 months. Took care of the liver mets, so far. Now I have switched to Faslodex and Herceptin.
While on Gemzar, I did 2 weeks on and 1 week off. I also took Zofran. For me my counts dropped only once. I have always been told to drink extra water. So I try to drink up to a gallon per day for a few days after chemo.
As for side effects - I was a little tired and did experience mild hair thinning. I continued / continue to work full time and have a very active life as a single mom of an 8-year old boy.
I hope that you do as well as I did. For me it was like Chemo lite.
Best wishes, love, peace, and hope!
Carolyns
