Chemo 3 of round 2
With
Caelyx
you have a scan after chemo 4 so cant wait for that. First week of chemo is usually bad but this month I was scheduled to go to the Lion King on Wednesday last. I was determined to make it and I did! yes girls we can do it and most of all I find that I must believe in myself!

Chemo 2 of round 2
So, all those lovely meals out I had on carbo/plat last year cannot continue with
Caelyx
. Pity, I enjoyed the lovely grub and took every opportunity to dine out. Other than that, I am now in my regime and life is good!

First Caelyx went smoothly
Although they warned me I could still get a reaction to
Caelyx
, it's a relief for number one to go ok. Lets hope it does a good job, and he decides to give me the 10 doses he plans on if the scan looks good, rather than the normal 6.

Tamoxifen
I'm on my 5th line of chemo, with Topotecan, having passed through taxol+ carbo (twice),
Caelyx
, then more taxol-carbo (weekly), and this has been going on for almost 4 years. It's now clear that my tumour is platinum resistant, and that is why I moved to Topotecan.

Ho hum. As my Onc said when I saw him last Monday, " Hello. You've been in the wars again, haven't you?"
I should be grateful for anyone's experience of
Caelyx
on the level that fore-warned is fore-armed. Meanhwile it is now the countdown to my elder daughter's wedding on June 29th and I therefore have no time whatsoever to be in the slightest bit ill.

CA125.......JUST KEEPS ON RISING!!!
SO.....after all that my questions are: 1: Has anyone had
Caelyx
and found the CA125 levels took awhile to drop. Reason for this is Onc obviously knew levels were rising so wonder why they continued and gave 3rd one. 2: Anyone had carbo with
caelyx
?....

SODIUM LEVELS & HORMONE TABLETS
Reason i ask is my wifes 4th line treatment (
Caelyx
) has had to stop after 3 sessions as CA125 and scans show continued growth, well a lot of continued growth.

gemcitabine with carboplatin for Platinum resistant
I am now on my forth round of chemo, after having had taxol-carbo as front line treatment, followed by 6 months of remission (with bulking in between); followed by more taxol-carbo, that didn't work; followed by
caelyx
and surgery.

Don't despair when relapse occurs!
During this time I had read in Ovacome the work of Prof Hani Gabri and in view of coming to the end of available chemo drugs(
Caelyx
not being manufactured) I discussed with my Oncologist what now. He took my case to MDT meeting and within 2 weeks I had an appt to see surgeon at Regional Hospital.

Big disappointment!!!
After all the excitement of my onc sourcing
caelyx
i started my chemo last week. With 10 minutes of the drug being given i had an acute reaction where my blood pressure went down and my breathing became really shallow.

Help needed please with understanding Mum’s CT report
Within 3 months she reoccurred and was given Taxol, round 2 she had a severe reaction and was put onto
Caelyx
, after 4 rounds this was stopped as she had hand and foot syndrome and ct showed no real change.

In June I was told it still wasn't being made then last Friday my onc said that the factory had been closed and that it probably wouldn't be available for three years and that I would be given Doxorubicin similar to
Caelyx
and is an old OC drug I was fine with that but then read that

Hello everyone
I will then have other options after that and he said
caelyx
should be available again from next year. Next week I am having another port a cath put in so fingers crossed it doesn't all go wrong again. Anyway on a brighter note the picture above is of my new beagle puppy, Alfie.
