Update Chemo Again

Update Chemo Again

Well, I got the 2nd ca 125 back and it has gone from 40 to 61.  Dr wants to do chemo again (just finished first round in april) with Gemzar and Carbo.  Chemo nurse says it will probably be day 1 day 8 and then 3 weeks or something.  I haven't gotten the details yet.  Has anyone had this cocktail, how well did it work and what can I expect for side effects?  I was hoping to put off chemo as my FIL is dying of pancreatic cancer and was hoping to be strong for him and my wonderful husband, but I don't know if I should put if off or what?  Again, any input from you all would be helpful.  At least this year I get to put my babies (gigantic garden) to bed for the winter.
Thanks
Jan
