Jerri,
My wife has been on Gemzar + Herceptin recently. Had a bad start in July, too soon after WBR. Started again in September and she has tolerated it pretty well. Cyndi is on an every other week schedule and begins a tired slump about two days after then builds back and feels decent until the next tx.
After Taxotere and Taxol, she says this is not too bad, she has even started a new crop of hair. Cyndi's mets are lung, so I cannot say anything about the liver or intestine mets. BTW you are the first intestine mets I have heard about, at least from breast primary.
I hope you have good shrinkage with the Gemzar, Cyndi's so far have only stabilized with it. Stabilized is kinda' like a kiss from aunt Suzie, it nice, but is certainly nothing to be over-joyed about!
God Bless You in You Fight,
ron
