Are you actually platinum resistant or not?
My scenario question is you have Carbo/Taxol, get told it’s not working the oncologist automatically assumes the
carboplatin
isn’t working you’re platinum resistant, is there an actual test or do they just assume it’s the
carboplatin
? Xxx

Update!
So last time I wrote about how bad she responded to her first cicle of chemo, it seems I was wrong and she didn’t receive
carboplatin
, she received platinium alone which seems to be way more toxic. Thankfully her oncologist changed the drug to
carboplatin
.

DYNAMO TRIAL - COMPLETED CHEMO
On March 22, I began the leg of the trial that added chemo (cabazitaxel and
carboplatin
.) every 3 weeks. I finished my tenth and final treatment at the end of September. I tolerated the treatments well and successfully managed the side effects.

Battling ovarian cancer (recurrance)
After the 1st hysterectomy and debulking, followed by a round of chemo (
carboplatin
and paclitaxel), I was in remission for 11 months. A CT and PET scan then showed some nodules.

Ovarian cancer with mets
Started chemo (
Carboplatin
and Caelyx) 2nd of August. Started to get bloated again and feel really uncomfortable. Told my oncologist and she said she thought it was fluid, she arranged for me to have ultrasound and to be drained the week after my 2nd chemo.

Ascites. Permanent drain.
Fingers crossed I can tolerate the cisplatin as I can’t have
carboplatin
. Has anyone else had these two chemos? My consultant says they’re harsh. Hoping all you ladies are all doing ok xxxx

[Question] CA 125 shows 17! Do we need chemo then?
Second Chemo is scheduled for tomorrow, doctors have changed the drugs this time instead of
Carboplatin
they are going for Cisplatin and instead of paclistar they are going to use bevetex.

[Update] On my wife’s chemo treatment - Ovarian Cancer Stage 3
Chemo has started, it was pretty tough the first chemo, her body wasn’t responding properly, it was Paclistar 115 Mg and
Carboplatin
200 Mg Injection. She fell unconscious couple of times during chemo and was kept under observation for 12 hours. She is stable now and we’re done with first dose.

Low grade stage 3c omental cake
She had 3 cycles of neoadjuvant
Carboplatin
-paclitaxel-bevacizumab and after that the CT scan showed a mild response (did not expected more as she is low grade...) and also a reduction of CA-125 levels to 78.

Avoiding chemo side effects - Taxotere
Some oncologists are now adding additional components to their chemotherapy blends, such as
CARBOPLATIN
and other compounds, to address the individual needs of the patient.

1st round chemo went so bad
Now she is getting hidratated in the hospital and her oncologist says she might not be able to continue with her
carboplatin
dose. Anyone has been through this? Has anyone had Chemo without
carboplatin
and has it been effective? Sorry, I am so so nervous, anxious and sad.

Carboplatin is Causing Low Platelet Count
ALL of the tests came back normal, so the hematologist said I should not have any more
carboplatin
because he said it was too damaging to my platelets. I see my oncologist tomorrow to see if he can come up with a new treatment plan. Has anyone else had this problem?

MASSIVE SHARE: Enter At Your Own Risk! (and thanks for reading.)
(A big shout out to Taxil/
Carboplatin
, without whom NONE of this would have been possible!) Chemo has wrecked nearly every part of me, so unless there is more to look forward to than this… no thank you. But it’s not just all cancer all the time. No!

Anti nausea druga - Canada
My late wife had 6 rounds of 2 chemo drugs
Carboplatin
and Taxol. Surgery was not possible as the cancer caused an autoimmune anemia that blood her red blood cell count to as low as 36 A normal woman usually 120 to 150. The blood bank could not find offsetting blood for transfusion.
