Does anyone know anything about the results of Gemzar as an
alternative to treat Ovaraian Cancer. Would like any good or bad
results that any one has had using this Chemo.
HI -
I relapsed and did Gemzar alone from September 2006 thru June 2007. It did keep the disease stable, but it did not shrink or kill anything. In June we found a significant spread of disease and I started the Hycamtin in July. I am still on Hycamtin, but I do not think it is really working. New CT scan in coming weeks will tell the story. Gemzar was pretty easy to tolerate, but unfortunately did not do the job (for me). I started the Gemzar with Carboplatin, but developed an allergy to the Carbo and continued with the Gemzar alone. I am trying to get the desenitization to the carbo done soon. Then I will go back on the carbo with either taxol or gemzar again.
