First days after Chemo

I had my first dose of Carboplatin on Thursday and so far not feeling too bad. I had Carboplatin/Taxol last time. Can I expect less side effects on Just Carboplatin?I had my first dose of Carboplatin on Thursday and so far not feeling too bad. I had Carboplatin/Taxol last time.

Cabazitaxel Plus Carboplatin for the Treatment of Men With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

The combination of cabazitaxel and carboplatin was associated with longer median progression-free survival over cabazitaxel alone (7.3 months vs 4.5 months).The combination of cabazitaxel and carboplatin was associated with longer median progression-free survival over cabazitaxel alone (7.3 months vs 4.5 months).

Liver/lung metastasis and carboplatin

I see people have been on carboplatin and taxotere. Is there evidence it helps? And is the combo standard for liver/lung metastasis?

Anyone dealing with Small Cell Carcinoma as their prostate cancer?

Tried Jevtana including one cycle with Carboplatin. While my PSA is dropping, my lymph nodes are continuing to increase in size and now I also have a bone met on one of my ribs.Tried Jevtana including one cycle with Carboplatin.

Docetaxel not working, fractured hip and pelvis

Chemo not working, and now have new tumor in liver, the plan is to go on Carboplatin next week. I have 2 teams of oncologists, one at Dana Farber. They recommend not giving up on docetaxel, but combining the 2 treatments as they have experience with the combo treatment working.Chemo not working, and now have new tumor in liver, the plan is to go on Carboplatin next week.

Chemo postponement

Hi All, Mike started Cabazitaxel / carboplatin in August. After 2 cycles his platelets dropped to 40 and he was not able to take his next round. After 2 weeks off his platelets are still hanging out in the 40s. Does anyone know what happens when chemo patients platelets don’t rise?Hi All, Mike started Cabazitaxel / carboplatin in August.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer

I am having accelerated chemo - 4 cycles of EC every two weeks, followed by 12 cycles of Taxol weekly with Carboplatin added every three weeks. That should end in February when I have an operation. I'm waiting results of a gene test in case I need a double mastectomy.I am having accelerated chemo - 4 cycles of EC every two weeks, followed by 12 cycles of Taxol weekly with Carboplatin added every three weeks.
