Hello there - any advice about Chemo (Carboplatin and Pemetrexed) and Immunotherapy (Pembrolizomab)?
Hi, so I was diagnosed just before Christmas (Is cancer the Christmas Grinch? 🤔 It was in my case....) Anyway, having been diagnosed with NSCL cancer I've now been put on a treatment plan, and start on Monday next week. Has anyone got any top tips for getting through the next few months? It all sounds

scans after chemo looking promising
Just finished 4th round of Chemo (Dox with
Carboplatin
) Scans after 3rd round showed resolved and smaller lymph nodes. Have a consultation with Dr. Kwon for a second opinion in January after chemo is finished. Oncologist at MSK is suggesting radiation may be an option.

SOC options have run out, PSMA negative, declining health - what's next?
He is proposing
carboplatin
and possibly immunotherapy if that doesn't work but also counsuled my husband to consider how much he wants to put his body through since none of us have seen him this weak. He turns 75 on Thursday, but presented much more like a 60 year old even 2 months ago.

So yesterday I started my first treatment with a combination of docetaxel to hit the plain old prostate cells and
carboplatin
to try to push back on the neuroendocrine component. So far so good. I included a biopsy photo for fun.

WBC down to 1.15, after 1st chemo
I had my first of six chemo treatments (Docetaxel +
Carboplatin
) on 11/10. Took my blood test yesterday. My White Blood Cell (WBC) count dropped to 1.15. My doctor’s office called and put me on Levofloxasin (500 mg/day for seven days). Is this normal, or alarming?

A potential treatment side effect for many of us.
I have had hearing loss for many years but it took a plunge in the 6 months following my chemo with
Carboplatin
and Etoposide. My audiologist was alarmed enough to order an MRI to rule out acoustic neuroma.

Living a long time with late stage Ovarian/peritoneal cancer
Because I was told that I had low grade Ovarian, I was given double dose
carboplatin
. Taxol could be a back up. Low grade doesn't respond well to chemo but I was told at the half way point that I had had a partial response to treatment.

Reaction to Chemo Drug
I suffered an immediate severe reaction to chemo drug Paclitaxel and had to have an antidote administered in order to recover.The other2 drugs were ok(
Carboplatin
& Bevacizumab). I was told that some ladies have this reaction but when they take this drug a 2nd time they have no problem.

my first reoccurrence
Everything has happened so fast, I was told this on the Tuesday, had a picc line fitted on the Thursday and my first treatment of
carboplatin
only on the Friday. This first chemo literally knocked me out in the chair. I don’t remember any of it really.

EGFR Exon 20 NSCLC
Originally he was on
carboplatin
for the first 4 cycles. After his first CT scan showed that the main tumour had shrunk slightly, the oncologist stopped the
Carboplatin
. I see a lot of people being offered radiotherapy as well - is this something that could help?

Cabazitaxel in combo with Carboplatin
Has anyone had this combination of chemo at the same time? If so did you have good results?

Will the carboplatin be helpful to me
I have had the full oophorectomy and have been offered three different choices, no chemo,
carboplatin
or
carboplatin
with another chemo drug. I chose the one
carboplatin
.

Carboplatin, rough for you or not?
We had 560mg of
Carboplatin
on Friday. She is ABSOLUTELY wiped out still this morning. She cant get out of bed, has only managed to get downstairs yesterday and was only able to sit on the sofa. She's miserable, headaches, tired, just unable to function.

Should I reduce dose of Olaparib?
Hi Everyone I started maintenance treatment for HGS in August having had Taxol/
Carboplatin
6 rounds with interval debulking surgery January to July. Because I am HRD I am being given Avastin 3 weekly and Olaparib 300 mg twice daily. Unfortunately I am struggling with side effects.

High eye pressure after finishing chemo
At my recent eye test (last week - September 2022) my eye pressure was quite high and on looking online I see that chemo can cause an increase in eye pressure I finished my chemo (single agent
Carboplatin
) in May 2022 and wonder if this could be the cause of my high eye pressure?

Treatment Options at 2nd recurrence.
I had my last
carboplatin
treatment in Nov 2021 so I am now classed as platinum resistant (I've had two opinions on this) so GemCis is not suitable. I was NED in December and went on Olaparib in January but my scan in May showed that it wasn't working.
