I began gemzar in Feb after navelbine quit working. Mets to bones and skin Dec, 2002, and on navelbine for 6 mos before progression. So far it seems to be reducing the skin mets altho the tumor marker went up slightly the first month. I have the 2nd tumor marker test later this wk and am hoping for improvement as I don't see how it could be helping the skin mets but not the bone mets. It affects the white blood cell count more than navelbine did, which is beginning to be a problem. Less neuropathy than navelbine, and no other problems so far. Good luck with your decision!
