Can anyone who has had gemcitabene therapy for pancreatic cancer tell me if dexamethasone is "standard" anti nausea treatment along with the gem? If so what side effects have you had from it? Trying to see if I really need steroids as well as all the other drugs being used! Thanks

Thanks for the advice kj, I would be interested in knowing what exactly stopped your chemotherapy. I asked my oncologist this week why I was getting more nausea for more days after the last few doses and he said it's just the build up of the drug in my system. I felt very well when I had a two week break from the chemotherapy because of low platelets and neutrophils and then my planned week off- guess I am wondering why I have to keep going when there isn't really any evidence to suggest five courses are better than four or three! Also do you know if it's different emphasis for adenocarcinoma vs endocrine varieties?
