my hubby has had 3 cycles out of 4 Gemcarbo for lung cancer. At first he was coping well but after 3rd lot he was breathless and couldn't walk more than a couple of feet before feeling really ill, as if he would collapse. I called doc and he was sent to hospital. He had a low blood count (79) and was given a transfusion on Tuesday this week. Today he is still quite poorly, has swollen ankles and very pale, has anybody here experienced this and should he have 'picked up' by now ?
