Anyone have experience with gemzar? What were the common side effects? This will be the last thing I try so I want to know as much as possible.
Usually gemzar is given in combination with taxotere rather than by itself. I have no experience with those but here you can get some information about toxicity with gemzar (phase II trial results for advanced sarcomas):

Paul is doing this cocktail of chemo, they said he will stay on it till it stops working. Right now he is stable and has been on it since June. The only side effect he has gotten is foot tastes salty.
