Hi,
My mum got secondary breast cancer and just started her 2nd treatment of Gemcitabine.
She had high temperature and high heart rate did anyone else have these side effect with the treatment ?
Hi . Not from this group, but have had my fair share of Gemcitabine for my own cancer. I didn't have a problem with it, but just checked my chemo record book. It states, any high temp or heart rate, then call the contact number which mum should have in her book if she has one. Best wishes.
