                        All oncologists should be familiar with Gemzar.  It is a new chemo (about 3 yrs. old) that is proving very successful with several different types of cancer.  I am presently on it with cisplatin for pancreatic cancer and so far so good (4 months and the cancer hasn't spread).  I don't have bad side effects - just a little fatigue.  But, it can wipe some people out.  If your doctor han't heard of it then change doctors.
