Third line chemotherapy, Caelyx
so, have started
Caelyx
every 4 weeks as carboplatin and paclitaxel and Niraparib have stopped working. Surgery to remove peritoneum and resection liver not an option. Does anyone have experience of just
Caelyx
? Is it effective on its own? Thankyou

How long does it take for ca 125 to drop with caelyx/ carboplatin?
Just to have an idea, as my ca 125 went up from first infusion ( only
caelyx
) was ca 125 = 345, to second infusion( now combination carbo+
caelyx
) is ca 125= 695 😞😓 If does not decrease i suppose only ct scan will reveal if is working or not... Many thanks in advance Warm regards

Caelyx.... successful outcomes????
I have just finished six rounds of monthly
Caelyx
only. This is my fourth line of chemo ie. Third recurrence.While my CA125 didn't go down to normal level it was decreasing steadily until I got my results yesterday for the fifth round . It had risen to 257 from 189. I was really upset with this.

Mums recurrence
She will start 2nd line treatment of Carboplatin and
Caelyx
soon, 6 sessions, 1 every four weeks. Does anyone have any positive stories they can share with me to offer some hope. We are devastated!

Third recurrence, very worried.
I started
Caelyx
last Thursday, so sick for the last five days , beginning to pick up now . I'm wondering have many of you had
Caelyx
at this stage of the disease and if you have, had you a good response, remission??. I was first diagnosed in July 2018.

carbo/gem
Followed by avastin alone which did not work, then carbo/
caelyx
which worked very well. I have had just over a year on Niraparib but sadly it is no longer working. I am due to start carbo/gem in a few weeks. Any advice or information on this treatment would be welcome? Katy 🙏

Carboplatin alternatives
Surgery was considered and dismissed following PET scan and I then had six cycles of
Caelyx
with Carboplatin. Unfortunately I developed a severe allergy to the Carbo in cycle 4 so despite all efforts to deal with this was able to take only the
Caelyx
for the last two.

Chemo in Tablet Form
I have gone through all the various chemo treatments available (pacitaxol, carboplatin,
Caelyx
, Gemcitabine, Niraparib and a trial. I was hoping to go on another trial but due to plural effusion, collapsed lung etc unfortunately I cannot now do this.

Results of MRI...
This is after 3 rounds
Caelyx
/ Carbo with small decrease of ca 125 from 595 to 515 last time. I don't know what to think... Was expecting and praying so hard for decrease... Not really understand also how the doctor can be happy.

Caelyx side effects and duration of treatment plus follow up with target therapy or immunotherapy.
If i go for the
Caelyx
, imagine 6/ 8 months treatment and being optimistic the chemo
caelyx
will work for me(and probably will because of my bcra1 mutation). I would like to go again to olaparib / avastin because clearly slows down the progression of disease.

Carbo/caelyx 2nd line
Hi all, I am about to start my 2nd line of chemo, carbo/
caelyx
, having done carbo/taxol/avastin first time round. I was hoping to just get to immunotherapy tbh but it looks like you need to do at least 2 series of chemo first to be eligible... so, anyone else had a similar treatment plan?

Carbo/Caelyx and CA 125
Hi Ladies, My mom has been treated for her first recurrence with the Carbo/
Caelyx
combo since September 2023 and she so far has finished 4 rounds. Her CA 125 went down from 258 to 18 after the third round and the CT scan showed the cancer in her peritoneum shrank significantly.

Olaparib hasn’t worked for me . Anyone had this happen and had success with another PARP?
Hi everyone, I’m back of Chemo for 3rd line, this time with Carbo and
Caelyx
. This is just a year after 1st recurrence, Chemo reduced cancer to nearly NED, 7 months of Olaparib and then CT scan showed new tumour on spleen. CA125 36.

Caelyx/ carboplatin side effect retention of fluids
Dearest,Hope all good. Since i was in the hospital, 11 days for a bacteria in my porth-a-cath, my body did a huge retention of liquids in my feet and legs. Extremely painful. Anyone else suffer the same? Did your doctor have reservation to prescribe lasix instead of spironolactone due to the potassium

Feeling like Chemo is too Hard
I was diagnosed 3B HG in August 2018, had surgery, frontline, first recurrence ( carbo and
caelyx
/doxil), 3 years of Olaparib, one year on nothing and now am having carboplatin alone for second recurrence. My oncologist said this would be relatively easy.

Inflamation of the mucous lining of the mouth - side effect Caelyx
This is a side effect of
Caelyx
chemotherapy. I already sent a mail to my doctors and tomorrow I will call. Meanwhile is there anything you could advise someone that also had it please?

options after Caelyx
She has obtained more steroids and has only done one round of
Caelyx
…her second round is on Tuesday (2 days away). Are there any alternatives to
Caelyx
? Anything else she can try? She feels defeated and like its the last hope. She also believes it just needs time to kick in.
