carboplatin/doxorubicin

[Hockeymom52]

Hi ladies

I will be starting carboplatin/doxirubicin infusions in two weeks for recurrence. I am also going to be getting Keytruda. I would like to hear some of your experiences with this combo as.well as side effects. I am wondering if I will lose my hair again like I did with Taxol. My oncologist said most likely I will along with nausea but I have read that some people have less side effects than with Carbo/Taxol. Thank you so much for your support.

I found Carbo/dox very doable and I didn’t lose my hair.

Are you in the UK as I haven’t heard of Ketruda being given as SOC?

Good luck with your treatment.

Thank you for your input. No I’m in the U.S. Keytruda is a immunotherapy that has been used for many different cancers. They’re now using it in conjunction with chemotherapy for OC with good results.

Thanks I wish it was available in the UK
