Hi everyone.... Just wondering if anyone has been on Gemzar and herceptin? If so how were the side affects.

I was on Navalbine / Herceptin and after 3 mos it stopped working.

I have 2 very small tumors on my liver.


So my oncologist is having me get the small spots blasted then putting on Gemzar/Herceptin.

I just feel very tired alot from the chemos but thats it.

I want my energizer bunny back partially anyway....

Have a great New Year Everyone.

Gonna be a good 2012 for me so far already and I hope it is for all my pink sisters:)

    I was on Femara when I began having extreme leg pain. They ordered scans which showed two small spots on my liver. I was told nothing could be done for the spots. I asked about surgery and abulation? Instead I have restarted chemo with Abraxane. Navelbine was also a choice, but I chose Abraxane.

    Can you give me more info on "blasting your small spots"?
