Hello everyone, I was recently prescribed Gemcitabine 1gm/10ml Inj, 10ml for cancer treatment. The side effects listed are extensive, and I'm not sure what to expect. I've heard from friends that some people experience severe issues, while others have a much smoother time. I'm seeking advice from anyone who has gone through this treatment. What can I expect as a new patient? My doctor mentioned it's a chemotherapy drug that interferes with cancer cell growth and is administered via an injection into a vein. I want to stay informed and prepared for what's ahead. Anyone who has stories to share about how they coped with the journey would be really helpful. Additionally, I appreciate any advice that could really help me understand the reporting side effects — upvotes to those who share the link to the online FDA reporting page.
