I opted for 6 cycles of
carboplatin
to optimise my chances. This has just finished. My oncologist has told me he doesn't intend to scan me or do CA125 test, so it's just watch and wait. During chemo CA125 was around 30, last one 34 which was slightly up on the previous one.

Quick recurrence, starting chemo regimen 2
I had an excellent response to frontline neoadjuvant treatment with
carboplatin
and taxol , an optimal debulking, but have recurred as of my three month check up. I have also had 10 external beam radiation treatments to my pelvic bone and a total thyroidectomy since last April.

Update on Scans..
She let me know that he seems to be showing a response to the chemo treatments (
Carboplatin
), and that the spots on his liver have shrunk significantly. She also let me know that she did not see any new growths since his last scans in March.

Be prepared 2nd line Chemo here I come
SAW my wonderful oncologist this morning confirmed that it's back with a scattering around my peritoneum not operable, so planning for further chemo combination will be
carboplatin
and calyx. So like a good old girl guide I better be prepared.

I'm new to all this. A question about abdominal pain.
I have just completed my third
carboplatin
/ paclitaxel chemo, have a CT scan next week, then a consultation with my Oncology Gyne team regarding debulking surgery. Surgery tentatively set for May 25th, followed by three more cycles of targeted chemo.

Caelyx strikes again
I had my 3rd Caelyx/
carboplatin
on the 19th. Felt awful as expected for a few days and then started to feel a bit better. On the evening of day 8 I had stomach cramps so took myself off to bed.

Trials
You find out which group you have been put in once signed up. 2 trial groups involve taking Bevacizumab along with
carboplatin
and paclitaxel and one group does not have bevacizumab involved. Could anyone tell me if they have heard of these type of trials.

Pemetrexed

Letrozole not working ... back to chemo
Now it's back to
carboplatin
initially as a single agent for 3 cycles with the hope that this will reduce the size and prevent looming bowel blockages. On the bright side I'm feeling well, no symptoms, and looking forward to seeing the lovely nurses in the treatment room!

Taxol/Avastin side effects?
I never had this with
Carboplatin
/Taxol. I also feel like my lips are tingly. Have any of you had these effects and what did you do for the blisters? The port is working well! Thanks, Kim

Taxotere Nanoparticle Trial
I will probably recommend a course of some combination of Docetaxel (I was already taking it in nano form), Cabazitaxel, and
Carboplatin
. I am deliberately not going to Zytiga or Xtandi, since those would make me ineligible for MDA's DYNAMO trial.

Chemo mid review ?
So far all my bloods have been ok and have improved from initial first
carboplatin
. My chemo is adjuvant due to 1A serous cell and being NED after surgery . Has anyone else had only 4 treatments if CA levels have been really low ? Treatment number 3 my count was 15 I'm really confused ???

Cisplatin versus Carboplatin
I know it is not possible to generalise on side effects but does anyone have any advise/experience on switching from Cisplatin to
Carboplatin
for these reasons or on numbness caused by
Carboplatin
?

CA125 rising
My CA125 was over 9000 at that point and rose to over 11000 as I started chemo (weekly paclitaxel and 3 weekly avastin and
carboplatin
). I had surgery in January 2017 and have had 7 weeks more chemo since.
