Hi Ladies , After another anaphylactic shock from carbo my onc decided to go with gemcitabine alone but over the last two infusions my ca125 has increased from 51 to 64 now 73 , I have asked about cisplatin has any of you ladies been through this , my onc has also suggested Avastin as I done well on this on my first line

Hi Lorent I had a grade 3 anaphalactic shock on carbo and now cannot have it and was put onto cisplatin. Its harsher in terms of side effects (my experience) but did the trick for me twice. Id definitely ask for it xx Kathy xx
Thankyou Kathy I was thinking of asking about the cisplatin as I'm a bit concerned with the avastin as I am on a blood thinner for a PE , plus I didn't like the BP problems I had last time although it did give me a good 16 months after first line .... Oh the dilemmas !!
Hope you are still doing well

Hi Lorent I had grade 3 anaphylactic shock on 2nd line, I was put on Cisplatin and found it quite harsh but doable.

Thankyou Ellsey it's hard to decide between the cisplatin and avastin oh well I should know more on Wednesday as my onc will give her decision on what she thinks is best but I do think it's best to have a back up...
Hope you are doing well
Take care
