I have been on the gemzar since May and now have chemo induced gout in my knee which is already in bad shape due to sports. The doctor has put me on meds for treatment/prevention of gout. I was wondering if anyone else has had this as a side effect of chemo ?
It’s been 6 weeks since my whipple procedure and I’ve been doing well. I’m eating fairly normal, even gained a few pounds, and working out at the gym. I decided to take the chemo. I started yesterday and had my first infusion of gemzar plus taking 8 pills a day of xeloda. Feeling a little tired but otherwise fine, but I realize it’s early for the side effects to occur. Thanks for all the advise and good wishes from the website. I was happy to hear that Dr. Iyer, my oncologist, is on your board of directors and should be able to give me good advice on fighting this disease.
