Sun sensitivity
I have had 1 infusion if carbo
caelyx
for my first reoccurrence and I am finding my skin is super sensitive and turns very red even when I walk out in the garden Just for 5 mins. Can deal with that by covering up, high factor sunscreen and staying in the shade .

No surgery
They want to try carbo/
caelyx
this time. My mind in turmoil at the moment. I have no family and live alone so have to be able to live independently. Wondering if its worth it as obviously no chance of cancer going away.

Disappointing result from CA 125 blood test after 10 weeks on Rucaparib. Can anyone help me to cope please?
The largest being 12cm. 6 months of Carbo/
Caelyx
reduced them by 2 thirds but the tumours still remained.

Carboplatin and sun exposure
Other sites refer to combination drugs or
caelyx
rather than carboplatin - those are definitely a no no for sun exposure. Thoughts and experience anyone, or at least anyone who's only had carboplatin rather than combined treatments... Miriam

Do others have the bad effects from
Caelyx

Due to start new Chemo tomorrow (
Caelyx

Update on my status
Having just finished six months of carbo
caelyx
aka doxil, I had a scan last week and am going to start Olaparib next Sunday. The scan showed that my main tumor which started out at about 3.4 x 2.2 cm is now just under 1 cm all around.

Is surgery a second time an option?
This will be her third lot of chemotherapy and this time it’ll be carbo/
caelyx
. Is surgery again a thing?

Happz\ey to be chemo free at last
So was changed to
Caelyx
in October. My scan a few weeks ago showed the area of concern gone so my Oncologist decided to cap the
Caelyx
at 8. I am slowly recovering energy.

Neuropathy????
I am on Carbo
Caelyx
( or at least I was) 4th cycle and I have the most weird sensation that starts in my right arm pit, travels across to my breast bone and down my arm to above my elbow. It doesn’t hurt but is like a million ants running around, well like pins and needles.

Niraparib problems.
I started Niraparib February 27th after finishing 6 months of carbo/
Caelyx
for a recurrence. I still had 3 tumours but they’d had reduced by more than a 1/3 so I qualified for Niraparib.
