My Dr put me on Gemzar in Nov 2009, Had three rounds and then a CT Scan. The Gemzar was not working. She changed me to TOPOTECAN. I was wondering if anyone has been on Topotecan and the side effects.

Topotecan
Dinora,
I found topo to be a much easier regimen than carbo/taxol. I was on it for for about 8 months. I did have constipation issues and some fatigue. My hair started thinning at the very end, but even then I didn't lose much. I never got a remission but the cancer didn't progress either (until the end). I hope you get good results and it is an easier regimen for you as well.
