My doctor wants me to start Gemzar/Carbo. Do you lose your hair? What are side effects that you have?
I didn’t lose my hair with Gemzar and Carboplatin.
I had one round of just the carboplatin and i was able to tolerate it , i lost my hair with the first round of chemo because they gave me taxel and carbo and my body couldn't tolerate it .
I had a very hard time after treatments of gems at so I quit. My first series of carbo I DID VERY WELL. My cancer returned after carbo after a very short time is the reason to my being on gemzar.I will be talking with my oncologist in a few more days.
