Hi Ladies. I need some advise from you seasoned gals who may have had this combo. I was dx with bone mets Dec '04- had 4 inj of Faslodex which I failed. My CA27-29 has gone from 50 to 168 over the past 7 months My recent Pet San showed continuing progression in spine and ribs with one lymph node involment in my chest. The CT did not pick it up so I am guessing it is really small. My my onc wants to put me on Gemzar. I am already getting weekly Herceptin and monthly Aridia. My chemo nurse says Gemzar is the least toxic in terms of side effects. I have no problems with the Herceptin.
I will be on a 2 week on-1 week off schedule.
I have several questions-#1- Does this sound like the best combo for this?
#2- how bad were your side effects and how long would they last? It seems there is not much recovery time in between each dose. I have scheduled it so I can receive it early enough in the week so hopefully I will recoup enought to enjoy my weekends .
I would appreciate any feedback. I am trying to stay hopeful that even though the Faslodex failed , this will do something in terms of keeping the wolves at bay. Thanks for your input. God Bless. Patty
