Gemzar Joy low platelets etc.
Hi Joy and all,
I have had 2 Herceptin/Gemzar treatments and understand your challenges! After just one weekly treatment my liver enzymes, ast, alt, and alk all went up dramatically! Did your liver enzymes go up at all? My platelets went down to 87 after 2 treatments. I had to skip the third week. I may receive it every other week as it is very hard on my body, and I am a small person. I was told to use toothpaste for sensitive teeth while on this med; also with low platelets and lower white blood cells, it does not seem like a good time for dental work. I take Kytril for nausea and it works very well. (But for mild nausea some people probably can take Compazine.) Hope to hear from you. Lida
