Third line chemotherapy, Caelyx
so, have started
Caelyx
every 4 weeks as carboplatin and paclitaxel and Niraparib have stopped working. Surgery to remove peritoneum and resection liver not an option. Does anyone have experience of just
Caelyx
? Is it effective on its own? Thankyou

Caelyx side effects
Evening I am struggling with eating most meals feeling sick and/ bloated half way through or straight after. Been having smaller portions and avoiding rich spicy food but still it continues on a daily basis. It’s really getting me down now. I’m about to have my fourth treatment of six. Any advice?

Caelyx.... successful outcomes????
I have just finished six rounds of monthly
Caelyx
only. This is my fourth line of chemo ie. Third recurrence.While my CA125 didn't go down to normal level it was decreasing steadily until I got my results yesterday for the fifth round . It had risen to 257 from 189. I was really upset with this.

Carboplatin and Caelyx chemo combination
Just wondering if anyone has had the combination of carboplatin and
Caelyx
for recurrence? I had review following scan this week and was told some recurrence in lymph nodes, pelvis and axillary.

Carbo/Gem
Previously: Carbo/taxol/avastin, carbo/
caelyx
, Niraparib. I have just had treatment 2 of cycle 1 of carbo/gem and I have a very itchy red rash between my neck and just below my breast. I am using e45 and taking anti histamine at present.

Mums recurrence
She will start 2nd line treatment of Carboplatin and
Caelyx
soon, 6 sessions, 1 every four weeks. Does anyone have any positive stories they can share with me to offer some hope. We are devastated!

How long does it take for ca 125 to drop with caelyx/ carboplatin?
Just to have an idea, as my ca 125 went up from first infusion ( only
caelyx
) was ca 125 = 345, to second infusion( now combination carbo+
caelyx
) is ca 125= 695 😞😓 If does not decrease i suppose only ct scan will reveal if is working or not... Many thanks in advance Warm regards

Feeling worried
Told carbo sensitive so started on
Caelyx
. Only 2 rounds but oncologist not happy ca125 rising rapidly so now on weekly paclitaxol. Just had one round starting round 2. But my Ca125 is up to 4009. I'm so scared. I'm just hoping the next few rounds start to bring it down.

carbo/gem
Followed by avastin alone which did not work, then carbo/
caelyx
which worked very well. I have had just over a year on Niraparib but sadly it is no longer working. I am due to start carbo/gem in a few weeks. Any advice or information on this treatment would be welcome? Katy 🙏

What next? re maintenance for HGS recurrence
I’ve just got 2 cycles more of Carbo/
Caelyx
, min scan showed slight reduction not as good as hoped for. Only maintenance mentioned by oncologist is to go on Letrozole.

Caelyx

Good news on recurrence
All new growth from recurrence is NED, good partial remission 😊 I had 6 cycles of
Caelyx
/Carbo after recurrence when 7 months of PARP Olaparib should have but hadn’t work, instead had new growth. I also started Avastin privately with Lloyds home service.

Caelyx/ carboplatin side effect retention of fluids
Dearest,Hope all good. Since i was in the hospital, 11 days for a bacteria in my porth-a-cath, my body did a huge retention of liquids in my feet and legs. Extremely painful. Anyone else suffer the same? Did your doctor have reservation to prescribe lasix instead of spironolactone due to the potassium

Carboplatin alternatives
Surgery was considered and dismissed following PET scan and I then had six cycles of
Caelyx
with Carboplatin. Unfortunately I developed a severe allergy to the Carbo in cycle 4 so despite all efforts to deal with this was able to take only the
Caelyx
for the last two.

Chemo in Tablet Form
I have gone through all the various chemo treatments available (pacitaxol, carboplatin,
Caelyx
, Gemcitabine, Niraparib and a trial. I was hoping to go on another trial but due to plural effusion, collapsed lung etc unfortunately I cannot now do this.

Feeling like Chemo is too Hard
I was diagnosed 3B HG in August 2018, had surgery, frontline, first recurrence ( carbo and
caelyx
/doxil), 3 years of Olaparib, one year on nothing and now am having carboplatin alone for second recurrence. My oncologist said this would be relatively easy.

Results of MRI...
This is after 3 rounds
Caelyx
/ Carbo with small decrease of ca 125 from 595 to 515 last time. I don't know what to think... Was expecting and praying so hard for decrease... Not really understand also how the doctor can be happy.
