Caelyx and hair loss
Doctors are suggesting to change treatment to
caelyx
and I have requested cold cap .They say cold cap is not used with
caelyx
because doesn't causes hair loss... I have read that can cause hair loss and thinning. Any advise or sharing of experience would be much appreciated. Big thank you 🌸

Be Careful Out There (UK)
I have been trying to walk every day while on chemo (carbo/
Caelyx
for 3rd recurrence). i was about 200 metres from home yesterday when I looked down and realised the pavement which had looked fine was actually icy… the next moment I was flat on my back.

Abraxane
I’m not bothered as I’ve been lucky (or unlucky some may like to call it) as was allergic to Taxol and
caelyx
so haven’t lost my hair on the last two chemo regimes, but just want to get looking at decent wigs if this is the case this time around.

What else is available?
Then my onc tried Carboplatin and then
Caelyx
neither of which worked and the size of my tumour is what it was at the start of treatment. I’ve never had surgery. I’ve just begun Paclitaxol, two weeks on, one week off and my onc says, if this doesn’t work there is nothing else.

caelyx in platinumResistance
Some thickening of the lining the consultant said the only option was
caelyx
but due to her age and possible brutal side effects and probability of not much gain he would not advise it. She has been handed straight to palliative care.

How long was remission with caelyx?
I was wondering among those who received carbo/
caelyx
/doxil for first recurrence, if you achieved remission or stable disease, how long did it last?

'Palliative Chemotherapy'
Following first reccurence after 11 months remission mum started carbo
caelyx
2 weeks ago. She has just received a letter saying she is now aware treatment is palliative. She is beside herself and now I fear it's going to be a self fulfilled prophecy. Why must they send these letters.

Carboplatin, caelyx.
Hi I'm starting carboplatin &
caelyx
today due to 1st recurrence, I'm interested to know how others have found this, any tips etc., My last chemo I took steroids on the morning before infusion, that has not been mentioned this time so do we not take them. Thank you in advance for any help!

Terrible Symptoms from Caelyx
Turns out it was a small recurrence in the peritoneum, so she was immediately put on a course of six
Caelyx
treatments — we're curently half way through.

Clinical trials
At the beginning of this year, I started on
Caelyx
and Carbo - the 6 sessions got very spread out though, because I unwittingly broke my back in 3 places in January which wasn't spotted by the hospital and I was trying to push through the pain for three whole months, having been told it was just a soft
