good & bad News
Hello, I've completed 6 mo. of Carbo/
Caelyx
with no real side effects (except usual nausea, weakness etc)thanks to large doses of Vit E & B6 and now I'm free from the never ending hospital visits, my beloved companion of 15 years had to be put to sleep on Monday.

More chemo!
Unfortunately the cancer has progressed and CA125 shot up so its 6th line chemo starting on 9th March with carbo and
caelyx
this time. I've never had
caelyx
so hopefully it will have a strong effect on the cancer.

Caelyx now
New disease on scan has prompted
Caelyx
which shall commence in a fortnight . The thinking is that the cancer has changed metabolically and no longer registering in the same way . A shape shifter .

Disappointed
I am now starting chemo Liposomal doxorubicin (
Caelyx
) on the 25th February and will have this every 4 weeks. Obviously I am very disappointed.

Any advice what next for my friend?
She had 6 months watch and wait before starting
caelyx
and carbo.... The thing is her ca125 has always reflected what is going on with the disease...highs of 34000 and a low of 19.

Side effects of Caelyx - neuralgia & tooth ache
For some time before starting this cycle of chemo I had a sensitive tooth but 3 wks after 2nd dose of
Caelyx
I developed neuralgia spreading from this tooth up to my ear and down my neck. The pain was unbearable and altho' dentist took x rays, she could find nothing wrong with tooth or gum.

Third line treatment imminent but not till the New Year.
Next plan is
Caelyx
plus yet another dose of carboplatin (this will be the third time). My Ca125 is now 983 which has risen slowly over the last few months.

Post First Line Consultation Today
Reason being they took me off Pacltaxol after chemo 2 due to an allergic rash and switched to
Caelyx
. The Cancer Drugs Fund will only pay if had Carbo/Pacli firstline for Stage 4 which is what I am. No point appealing she said.

Caelyx
I'm a little confused as to whether
Caelyx
makes you lose you hair not. Please can anyone that has been on it let me know. Lovis x

CA125 on the up, CT scan shows new growth in/on liver and a spot next to the spleen. No more Avastin - what next?
I have another appointment in 2 weeks time, but she suggested
Caelyx
and carboplatin as a possible treatment. Maybe there will be a trial in the way I can look at. I left feeling devastated and downhearted and just need a bit of moral support.

4th line chemo
We were then told the outlook was bleak, but she elected to try
Caelyx
, 3 doses followed by hospitalisation due to mouth ulcers, couldn't continue, but she got 5 good months chemo free.

Caelyx
Anyone take
Caelyx
? What are the side effects? How did you handle it? Worse than other chemos? Or no?

Third time lucky?
When the cancer was obviosly still there in January the oncologist started me on
Caelyx
which for me had few side effects and my hair grew back. Now we are into autumn the cancer is still active causing more pleural effusion so I am now on Paclitaxel alone weekly for 18 weeks.
