Carboplatin

The bottom line next drug is Carboplatin. I start next Monday. Three weeks on one week off. Would greatly appreciate any feedback from anyone who has had this chemo. I already have no hair but curious if this will keep me bald. Also, chemo nurses say worst side effect is nausea. Thanks!

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!

I have grade3c OC and its my second recurrence started caelyx and carboplatin last month due for 2nd lot this morning but yesterday afternoon was told that they cannot access caelyx as its in short supply so have been advised to just have carboplatin and pick up the caelyx on my third session.

Orme, have suggested chemo with cabazitaxel combined with carboplatin as a possible next step. This would probably be done in Cyprus, where I live. I'd welcome thoughts on side effects and how durable the treatment is likely to be.

I am into another round of chemotherapy, docetaxel and Carboplatin and would love to have minimal addition to the discomfort I already endure.

Half of the patients will receive six cycles of the same standard dose of a chemotherapy called carboplatin, while the other half will receive an adaptive therapy regimen of carboplatin.

Saw my consultant today over the start of chemo , he said as mine was at an early stage I am only having Carboplatin for an hour every session and as he told me in his words it’s “mopping up “ anything they didn’t see during my operation so fingers crossed 🤞 x

I have advanced OC and was diagnosed with recurrence in April 2023 starting carboplatin and calyx last week. I have a city break planned flight is for one hour but we travel one week exactly after my next chemo session. I would love to go but am I being unrealistic ?

She has been on monthly of Carboplatin/Keytruda. With the most recent reoccurrence she underwent Radiation for 6 treatments and is keeping the Carboplatin/Keytruda regime. The latest treatment has caused a major spike of breathlessness and general weakness.

Hi, I'm recently diagnosed with the above, awaiting treatment plan (which will probably involve carboplatin,paclitaxel and pembrolizumab. I'm not yet 40, never smoked. I've been feeling exhausted on some days, some dizziness even.

hi everyone, I’ve got grade 3 high grade serous ovarian cancer, I finished 6 rounds of Paclitaxel and carboplatin in Desember. I’ve just started 200mg Niraparib three weeks ago but seem to have developed swollen legs, has anyone had any experience of this?

I had 3 round of taxol developed neuropathy and discontinued treatment but completed the 6 rounds of carboplatin. Neither treatments helped my cancer. Did Keytruda infusion with Lenvima pills not working. No approved therapists left, except for a clinical trial if I qualify and am accepted?

My mom have 3rd recurrance she start again carboplatin and palitaxel but after 2nd influsion there was terrible reaction and they stoped it and cleaned out, 3rd chemo after 3 weeks she has palitaxel alone. Is her ca125 going down ok or it is not enoght?

So went for chemo no.4 today, as no. 3 had made me ill with terrible side effects they decided to stop the paclitaxel and just do the carboplatin. White blood cells were low but still ok to go for the carboplatin.My CA125 is now down to 10.

First round tomorrow, carboplatin as single agent initially - possibly adding gemcitane if it seems to need an extra boost.
