Wiped out with the caelyx carbo
I had my first
caelyx
/carbo combination on Friday and have been in bed mostly asleep until now! It has floored me. Is this how it will be for the next 5? Maybe I had forgotten how awful the first few days can be after all my other mixes of chemo.

Avastin
She has just had her 2nd cycle of carbo/
caelyx
. I was wondering whether anyone could share some success stories of this combination as we are all a bit low at the moment. Does anyone know whether avastin can be taken in conjunction with this combination.

Small intestine thickened with cancer
They have stopped the Carbo/
Caelyx
and I have the option of going on Taxol (weekly), Eptopisode or Topetecan. All of these have a 10% chance of working. I am not optimistic myself. Help! I'm going to see Prof. Gore at the Royal Marsden for a second opinion Friday. Lovis x

Bloating while on chemo
I'm having Carbo and
Caelyx
. Tumour marker has gone down from 18040 to 4254 after 3 cycles so you wouldn't think it should be getting worse. Lovis x

Caelyx
I have just had
Caelyx
and Carboplatin last Friday and was told that my urine would be red but up until today it has not happened and I was wondering if anyone else had found this as well after this mix of Chemotherapy?

Decreased Urine Output
I'm on Carbo/
Caelyx
and I'm finding apart from the initial getting up wee I hardly want to go until the afternoon. This bothers me as it was never like this before. So far kidney function has been spot on in the blood tests. Has anyone had anything similar?

Mum's Caelyx
Anyway, Mum is due to have her third
Caelyx
on Friday. The side effects haven't been too bad so far but her hands have started to feel sore and feeling really tight, especially when they get hot. She remembers the oncologist telling her to keep cool and now she knows why!!

Doxil decision
and offers Doxil (or
caelyx
) treatment alone. I'm trying to decide whether to take the treatment or not. Does any of you have ever taken Doxil and don't regret it? Rexy

In your best signing voice..... "Here we go again, la di da de de, all good pals and jolly good company!"
The plan is
Caelyx
and Carbo starting 7th April. I knew it was not a question of IF I needed chemo, but WHEN and now is the time. Any suggestions, ideas, tips and hints on how to get through this mixture would be appreciated. You are so knowledgable and a great support. Love to all. Irene xxx

Aggitated
If
Caelyx
doesn't work she said I will have to get in touch with The Christie and see if they have any trials or do I have private health insurance (No). I guess I would have to remortgage the house to get treatment.

Sinus pain
The pain I have is when I have had the
caelyx
, it is different than any other headache I have had, the whole head is painful and like with the sinus pain my whole head hurts even more if I need to lean over for anything, even my neck hurts.

Caelyx and the Heart
Does anyone know why they carry out a heart echo before commencing
Caelyx
? My result came back btwn 45/50% , my Onc says ideally it should be above 50% but she still wants to go ahead with chemo.
