As I wrote earlier my Mom is supposed to start this week on carbo/taxol/herceptin 1x per week.The research nurse just called and told me she is elligable for a clinical study substituting a drug called Gemzar for the Taxol. The study is to see if they have the same results with this drug and herceptin as opposed to Taxol. It would be given every 2 weeks for 10 cycles. Does anyone know anything about this other drug? Has anyone been on it? The nurse said the side effects would be similar except for less chance of neuropathy. We need to let them know by tomorrow,so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks
