Additional chemo
I’ve just finished 6 rounds of Carbo &
Caelyx
for first recurrence after 18 months NED. My Ca125 is again in normal range (20) but since it is still decreasing each month the doctor said chemo is still working and he’d like to see CA125 plateau before I stop. I was so ready to be done.

Questions for early stage trials
This is the last treatment I can have locally as I have exhausted all they have to offer: debulking surgery, taxol, carboplatin, Avastin,
Caelyx
, Gemcitabine, Niraparub, Letrozole, Exemestane. I am now platinum resistant and am also BRCA negative.

Caelyx again!
I had my second infusion of Carbo/
Caelyx
nine days ago, and now, the vein where I had the chemo has become sore and swollen. When I rub it, I can feel a hard lump under the skin.

Caelyx
I am on day five of my second
Caelyx
infusion, and I feel like a limp dish cloth. That in itself is not so surprising, but I have other side effects that concern me. The vein where I had the infusion is very sore and bruised feeling, although there is no swelling or redness.

Taxol
Unfortunately
Caelyx
did not work for me. Ended up in hospital with high temps after two out of three infusions. Scan showed slight advance of cancer so it was decided to put me on Taxol. Three weeks on and a week off.

Parps
I have three more sessions of Carbo/
Caelyx
, then all being well will be put on a parp inhibitor. I am BRCA negative so know that not all parps are suitable. Does anyone know how the decision is made between Olaparib, Niraparib etc.

Caught a break
Very little obvious cancer left so we continue 3 weeklys one week off for 4 months then onc prof wants to look at immunotherapy...this is my 5th line. 3 and 4 did nothing (carbogem then
caelyx
) and cancer on the liver was troubling. So this was my last shot and it worked gave me breathing space.

3rd recurrence
Going to start carboplatin and
caelyx
tomorrow then5 more. First diagnosed July 17, recurred August 19 and now. Parps didn’t work for me. Has anyone had a 3rd recurrence and then done all right for a while. I’m scared it’s going to come straight back or chemo won’t work .

Mets to adrenal glands, anyone?
My second line treatment of carbo/
caelyx
has utterly failed and I've had progression whilst on it. Platinum resistant, oh great. I had a terrible time on treatment so I'm incredibly disappointed to know that none of it was worth the bother! Part of the progression is to my adrenal glands.

TAXOL
After a quick look at report concusions it was evident that
Caelyx
was not working so she would try weekly Taxol. Three weeks on then a week off. Has anyone else been on this regime and how was it for you. Afraid I am running out of options so hoping this may be "the" answer.

Scan results in
After the first three rounds of carbo /
caelyx
the three lymph nodes near my aorta had shrank over 50 percent. My final scan after 6 had only shrunk a few millimetres more. I feel rather disappointed and was expecting more.

Online support for mum
She had another CT scan and the cancer had progressed, started back on chemo in June (
caelyx
and carboplatin) which reassured her to a degree but her post chemo symptoms are different to what she knew before.

Issues down below!
I have had two Carbo/
Caelyx
infusions, and along with some expected side effects I have developed a lot of irritation at the entrance of my vagina. Sometimes it is a bit itchy and at others a bit sore. Has anyone else experienced this, or do you think perhaps it has nothing to do with the chemo?

My waterworks again!
I have just had my third Carbo/
Caelyx
and my bladder is giving me issues again. I developed an overactive bladder after chemo in 2017, and it had since settled down to occasional flare ups which I managed with tablets from the eurologist.
