Now have small cell prostate cancer

Started cabazitaxcel with carboplatin. Psa was at 78. First infusion was Monday. Looking at not so good news on mean survival rates. So what have we seen on trials? My MO is working all channels. So far just lymph glands, no liver or lung invasion.

What to know before chemo

About to start chemo with carboplatin and cabazitaxil. Interested in opinions about icing feet and hands to ameliorate neuropathy. Also interested in fasting prior to chemo to reduce side affects.

Chemo experience

I have seen that it is likely that I will have carboplatin and taxol. I am overwhelmed by the side effects and I am asthmatic, I see it can affect your breathing. What have everyone's experiences been? Should I be doing anything to prepare myself for what is to come?

Blood Transfusion?

The chemotherapy I'm on, carboplatin, is apparently notorious for causing anemia. Since I'm already anemic, my RBG has dropped to the lowest it's ever been (for me). I've tried IV iron and arinesp, an EPO like shot, and neither has boosted my counts.

New regime for Primary Peritoneal grade 4 and breast/axilla grade 3.

I reacted to paclitaxol so had chemo just with Carboplatin. In Autumn I was ready for debulking surgery and following that Avastin and more Carboplatin. An unrelated breast mass was found with axilla lymph node spread. Mastectomy and node clearance 3 weeks ago..

Am I at the end of life? Chemo failing.

He is adding in Paclitaxel with Carboplatin at lower dose and going every 2 weeks instead of every 3. Hope it works. Very afraid now. Any ideas?

Neuropathic pain in the limbs and neck

Had surgery and chemo - Carboplatin and Paclitaxel. Now I'm on Bevacizumab. Next mount will be the last infusion. I have pain in my limbs and neck for months now. Sometimes I don't have the strength to stand on my feet. I can't bend my head to the sides.

Avastin with carboplatin.

I am post debulking surgery and Dr has now said 2 rounds of Avastin and carboplatin ( had a bad reaction to paclitaxel on first lot of chemo) then a maintenence IV of Avastin for 12 months. Also I have asked for a PICC this time as my poor veins can't take any more prodding and poking.

Keeping my arms, legs, hands and feet inside the ride

I looked at funding carboplatin myself but its $37k that I don't have at the moment (come on lottery!) After 2 years of treatments I've learned to roll with it and work with my team.

Carboplatin is it the big hitter

A lot of chemotherapy seems to start off with carbo and carry on with something else either separate or combined. Is Carbo the big honcho and the others mainly back ups?
