Gem by itself is not very helpful. Not unusual for your number to go up after first treatment and then go down by 2nd treatment. Are you getting the pre meds (anti nausea, benedryl or prednisone)? It's normal to feel sick the first 3 or 4 days after your treatment. Drink lots of water and try to exercise.

thanks for the information.. don’t know what’s going on.. they could or hit a vein clear… they basically are saying that if I don’t get the port through whatcOthonk is a very invasive procedure, that they can’t be sure of future treatments… so it’s Monday I go, and I am not at all pleased the way my oncologist is never around when I need to speak to her.. just frustrating pvctom🙏
