Hi,

Tina has already said that Gemzar is new and hold promise as a treatment. I'm not worrying at this stage. I'm not worried either about losing my hair but I'd like to be prepared not to find it coming out suddenly all over my face like it happened last time (on Carbo/Taxol). I'd rather have it cut off before then. I just don't know how quickly to do that.

Love to all,

AussieMaddie

Hi AussieMaddie

I think you are mistaken. I'm on Topotecan. Unles of course you are referring to a different Tina
