Abraxane/Carbaplatin

I’m starting Nov 21 and I’ve had chemo twice before and Taxotere gave me horrible reaction so the Abraxane supposed to be a little better “they” say but I’d like to hear from someone who has actually had it.

Enlarged neck nodes

Wondering if anyone has experienced swollen hard nodes in the neck- I have just started on Abraxane for my TNB- was hoping that it would help them shrink.Wondering if anyone has experienced swollen hard nodes in the neck- I have just started on Abraxane for my TNB- was hoping that it would help them shrink.

Favorite remedy for chemo-induced mouth sores?

I had my first dose of IV Abraxane on Wednesday, 80mg, and for the most part so far so good. I've been told the fatigue, hair loss and neuropathy take a few weeks to kick in. The only noticeable side effect so far is that everything tastes strange and my mouth feels kind of fuzzy.I had my first dose of IV Abraxane on Wednesday, 80mg, and for the most part so far so good.

My treatment journey

Since my Stage 1 breast cancer found in 2012 I have had Taxol, Taxotere, Gemzar and Abraxane. 55 rounds. Just remember there always new drugs and procedures coming out. So I never give up hope.Since my Stage 1 breast cancer found in 2012 I have had Taxol, Taxotere, Gemzar and Abraxane. 55 rounds. Just remember there always new drugs and procedures coming out.

Immunotherapy-Chemotherapy Update

Hello All, So I just finished my first month of immunotherapy+chemotherapy (Tecentriq+Abraxane) and so far so good. The sessions are weekly for three weeks, two meds the first week, one med the second week (just the chemo), and two meds the third week. One week off and then the cycle begins again.Hello All, So I just finished my first month of immunotherapy+chemotherapy (Tecentriq+Abraxane) and so far so good.

IMRT denied final time today + Abraxane, Carboplatin, Keytruda question

. 😔 Since he has now failed chemo, with no further metastasis but 3 out of his 4 cancer sites have a 37% total increase, the next treatment per his oncologist for second line is Abraxane, Carbo and Keytruda, but it won’t start until 2 weeks after his last radiation treatment of which he will have 15. 😔 Since he has now failed chemo, with no further metastasis but 3 out of his 4 cancer sites have a 37% total increase, the next treatment per his oncologist for second line is Abraxane, Carbo and Keytruda, but it won’t start until 2 weeks after his last radiation treatment of which he will have 15

Possible spine mets - now what??

The next treatment was supposedly going to be Abraxane, Carbo + Keytruda. I’m questioning should he be in a clinical trial for second line or is that combination a good one for him now that he might have spine mets? He had a thoracic/abdominal CT at Moffitt on 9/27 with no mets seen.The next treatment was supposedly going to be Abraxane, Carbo + Keytruda.
