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.

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.

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.

Blocked Bile Duct (Liver)
Hi All, Mum is now half way through her carbo/
caelyx
treatment and the scan she has just had midway showed she had very enlarged bile duct from her liver, they have said its either scar tissue & if it is they can put a stent in to help it drain and make mum more comfortable.

Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had Taxol/Carboplatin (+ a few cycles of Avastin),
Caelyx
/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly Taxol?

Treatment for advanced,recurring CaOv/Royal Marsden drug trial (MILO)
Currently having another battle with her to repeat the Carbo/
Caelyx
regime I had October 2014 which gave me the only time off in nearly 5 years. Has anyone else been referred for this MILO study and is anyone else being treated from S Hampshire at the Royal Marsden? Thanks

Carbo/caelyx eye problems
On second go carbo/
caelyx
. My first chem was carbo/taxol and I experienced bad eye flickers throughout. In my small time in remission my retina tore and I had to have laser on it ( very traumatic..hated it). The oncologist said the chemo had not done it.

Carboplatin/caelyx information
I am about to start 3rd line with carboplatin/
caelyx
and am in one of those"Oh no! I just can't do this again" moods. I have looked up the Macmillan site and scared myself silly.
