Keeping fingers crossed for you that Gemzar will do the trick.
I've been on Gemzar twice - once for supraclav nodes, then for sternal nodes. It worked well for me for a period of time, and the treatment was totally tolerable.
My regimen was q3wk Herceptin + Gemzar 2wks on/1wk off.
I really enjoyed having that 3rd week off- free of "The Big Chair" & the parking fees, etc.
I did get a bit of a rash with the initial doses, but that resolved after a few weeks.
I truly hope that this combo is your path to NED.

Keep the Faith~
