Allergic reaction to Carboplatin

I’m on my second line of carbo 5 cycles in. Yesterday I had an allergic reaction to it and they had to stop the infusion. I had nausea and a red rash. They said it was a grade 1 reaction. I am a bit despondent as I only had less than a third of the dose. Has anyone else had this experience? I hope theI’m on my second line of carbo 5 cycles in.

Buying a wig

I have been told the carboplatin I took for first recurrence has not worked so I need to take Taxol for 3 weeks on one week off. This will mean I will lose my hair. I feel very dismayed about this. Any advise on buying and wearing a wig please.I have been told the carboplatin I took for first recurrence has not worked so I need to take Taxol for 3 weeks on one week off.

Increased PSA again

Dr’s recommendation was the Carboplatin. When I asked about LU-177 he said he would look into both for us. I was a bit surprised it was not brought up by dr as an option.Dr’s recommendation was the Carboplatin. When I asked about LU-177 he said he would look into both for us.

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.

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.
