I am so sorry to hear your discouraging news. It is so scary to all of us to be "using up our options." I have been on gemzar, xeloda and herceptin for 10 months now. When I started on it, I was homebound on oxygen and confined to my bedroom. I have done very well on this regimen. I am off oxygen and feeling much better. I am on it for two weeks and then off for one.
My biggest complaint with gemzar is that I find myself much more nauseated than on any other chemo. Then there is the usual fatigue issue. We have had to reduce the dose because my counts were taking a hit so I need neupogen and epogen every now and then.
I will cross my fingers that this works for you.
Sending a hug,
Rosie
