Hair colouring during chemo
I'm in the middle of chemo,
carboplatin
, my roots are horrendous so I thinking of having my hair coloured. Anyone gone against the advice and had their hair coloured?

Unusual neuropathy
Did anyone on
Carboplatin
& Taxol chemo have the following symptoms (which developed following the 2nd course): some sensory loss on epidermis and loss of internal sensation, including inside of throat (no feeling when swallowing), inside of abdomen (no feeling of taking air into abdomen)?

LDH markers
He has now been put on
Carboplatin
and Pemetrexed. After his last (2nd) dose of that his bloods showed an increase in LDH. Stupidly I Googled what this meant and from what I can understand it means his tumour load has increased. I'm scared that this is an indication that the chemo isn't working.

Loss of PTEN
I am presently receiving chemo with taxotere and
carboplatin
. I have failed xtandi and zytiga. Lymph node tumor biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma, no NE. Genetic profiling revealed loss of PTEN. No other mutations. My question is, what else can I be doing in regards to the PTEN?

ovarian cancer stage 1c3
I had done with my first chemo with
carboplatin
and taxol. My CA125 was 353 prior to hysterectomy and post it reduced to 18.6. Now I will have my second chemo soon. I need to know if I can be cured, also doctor has not recommended to be CA125 test prior to 2nd chemo, is it normal?

Update on my Dad: Liver Mets, next steps?
I've read some of the posts here and have seen the recommendations for
carboplatin
with liver mets. I'll try to ask about that... if we get that far. I'm not sure what our next steps should be. The talk of hospice has really thrown me. I know you all have had tough days too.

Devastated! my Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Transformed into Small Cell Lung Cancer
Just completed my first cycle of Chemo with
Carboplatin
+ Etopaside. Unfortunately there are not any or very limited treatment options for Small Cell as compared to Non-Small Cell. Will be nice to hear from and may be connect with others in the same situation.

SCLC good news, then kick in the teeth!
After 2 cycles of
Carboplatin
and Etopiside she was scanned again and the tumor had shrunk by 1.3cm's, BUT they have found another tumor on the same lung. Has anyone else had this happen. A bit of good news first then the wind knocked from their sails?

Mitigating chemo side effects
I start chemo with docetaxil and
carboplatin
on Tuesday. Would appreciate any advice as to how to lessen any side effects such as hair loss and peripheral neuropathy and nausea/vomiting. Thanks in advance.

Xtandi for Third Time
After second round of Docetaxel/
Carboplatin
chemo (12 total infusions, 6 per round), we are again rechallenging with Xtandi. Had it first back in 2016 for about 12 months until cancer found a workaround. In early 2018 after chemo, Xtandi rechallenge brought PSA down from 1.3 to .7 for 4 months.

Stopping Caelyx halfway through
My team have decided to put me on just
carboplatin
for the remaining 3 infusions as they feel that the caelyx is making me ill. I am worried that just having
carboplatin
is not going to be as effective on the cancer but I have to weigh this up against the constant delays due to low neutrophils.

Those on this site with liver Mets in MCRPC-
My MO is electing not to use
carboplatin
and remain with taxotere infusion . Currently on Xtandi but PSA rising. ALP also rising so MO feels Xtandi failing after 3 months with next step taxotere. Looking for those who have fought liver Mets with taxotere chemo and what the results have been.

Here we go again!!
It’s not quite six months since I finished Caelyx/
Carboplatin
and my CA125 has increased 5-fold in 8 weeks - it’s now over 700.
