Caelyx and hand/foot syndrome
I've read that it takes a while to come down on
caelyx
so I was pleased that it has started to fall as it went up between 1 and 2.

Has anyone been on Cisplatin (with/without Etoposide)?
A few days ago I asked if anyone had experienced pain with
Caelyx
but turned out mine is due the cancer having spread and the 4 months of Carbo/
Caelyx
I've been having, not worked(2nd time around). Consultant is suggesting (last resort?

Carbo/Caelyx
Advice please on any preparation to diminish side effects from Carbo/
Caelyx
combination. I believe ice packs on hands and feet can be helpful? Does anyone have any tips and / or experience of these drugs please. Thank you x

pain with Caelyx
I find it hard to believe this is just caused by
Caelyx
. I'm due for my 5th treatment but the pain is not subsiding. Has anyone else experienced this? V

Shingles!
Hi all, so I two weeks ago I had my first lot of carbo /
Caelyx
for first reoccurrence felt rough for 10 days but really struggled with a rash that appeared across my side and left boob, put it down to a chemo reaction as all the literature I was given talked about skin changes.

Caelyx next
Having reacted to carboplatin and having had 6 rounds of cisplatin, I am to start
caelyx
next week. So any experience or advice would be useful. I did read up on it a while ago and it seems that some women sail through with few effects while some have severe side effects.

Hitting a new low
She is suggesting Carboplatin and
Caelyx
to start whenever I "feel like it". I don't understand. I feel so well with no symptoms. I want to howl and howl and howl. I've done everything I can over the last 2 years to put the cancer behind me and here we are again.

New to site
Told last week that OC has returned and going to be put on Avastin when I recover from surgery and
caelyx
(liposomal). Finished 8 sessions of carbo/taxol last year. Anything I should watch out for? Worried... Sorry Kittie you are not well but you sound like you know how to turn it around.

first recurrence - experiences?
I sort of expected this, and I know that this means she will probably have to have
Caelyx
, Taxol or gemcitabine. I guess I'm just on here because I want to hear that it's not unusual for recurrence to be so fast, and I also want to know how effective the second line of treatment can be.

3rd bash at controlling OC
It was then I was told that I only have months now but they are forging ahead with another lot of chemo,
Caelyx
, which in my case I like to call last chance saloon. Had my first one yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about gloom doom and despondency .

Update
Scans show that I am unsuitable for any further surgery as I already have a stoma in place ( even though the blockages are unfortunately higher than the stoma) so I'm hoping that I can get through this trauma and resume my chemo (4th line)

Dreading Caelyx ( and future in general)
I started 3rd line chemo with carboplatin/
caelyx
eight weeks ago. I never got to the 2nd cycle because all hell broke loose in my bowels.

Caelyx/alendronic acid
I started both 3 weeks ago,
caelyx
for 2nd recurrence and a/acid for osteoporosis (last year I broke both my ankles -fragility fractures). For the past week my mouth/throat has been very sore with ulcers.

Whatever next? A bit of a break I hope.
Third line chemo started on 8th Mach with carboplatin/
caelyx
. Two wonderful weeks followed when i really thought I'd got away without side effects. Chickens counted.....chickens came home to roost. Appalling diarrhea set in with breathless exhaustion.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram
Hi All, It looks like mums Carbo/
Caelyx
treatment has not been working and she has a blockage in her bile duct from her liver where the disease has progressed. They tried to put a stent in the bile duct today but it was unsuccessful therefore they are doing a Percutaneous Transhepatic.

Problems with caelyx
I have severe and almost constant diarrhoea after cycle one of carboplatin/
caelyx
. I don't think I can go on like this. I just move from bed to the sofa and back. My oncologist says there is no plan B and that if I can't tolerate it they will consider just treating the symptoms. Please.
