    Hi Nilelady,

    We're sorry to hear of your mets diagnosis! We're sure others will be by shortly to weigh in with their thoughts and experiences with this chemo. In the meantime, you may want to check out the main Breastcancer.org site's page on Gemzar for info on how it's given and common side effects.

    Also, there are a couple of threads you can read up on in the meantime:

    Gemzar thread #1

    Gemzar thread #2

    There's also a Lung Mets thread that could be helpful.

    We hope this helps! - The Mods
