Opdivo
After his chemo cycle he also had triple dose of each Taxol and
Carboplatin
twice in August. He really trust his oncologist but I feel as they are giving up. Thanks

Hi there
I have been treated withHeld Paxil and
Carboplatin
. The Chemo is no longer effective it spread again. I am now on Avastin. Anyone have experience with Avastin or hey maybe the same type of Cancer. I could really use some support. Prayers for ALL.

Bad Side Effects from Chemo
Hi Ya'll, My dad just turned 89 and started his Chemo treatment of
Carboplatin
& Alimta in January, every 3 weeks, for NSCLC. He just had his 3rd treatment this past Monday; the Dr. did lower this dose because of the side effects.

Skin feels bruised 5 days after first cycle of Carboplatin
Hi. I had my first cycle of Carboplatim 5 days ago. I've felt dreadful ever since - mainly nausea. I've had my anti sickness med changed now and although it's making me drowsy, it seems to be doing the trick. I'm now feeling like my skin is really bruised - mainly round my glands in my neck, shoulders

Still on the chemo once a week
He's been on chemo one day a week (
carboplatin
) and has experienced severe diarrhea. It has really bothered him and fears to eat food, which has caused him to lose a little weight. His doctor has had him take Imodium and a prescription strength diarrhea medication.

Post about Eric's Passing & Offer to Help
Now mCRPCa or how Eric preferred, APC. 2 rounds of Docetaxel and
Carboplatin
; ended up in ICU, coma for 9 days shortly after (ARDS, sepsis, pneumonia). Stopped chemo. Levels all good. Cancer seems to be on hold. Xgeva failed (side effects), switched to Zytiga.

Cancer History
March, 2017, started infusion (number of rounds yet to be determined)
carboplatin
/doxil. Have changed doctors to a Mr. Science type that explains everything, uses science jargon, and draws pictures of normal cells and cell mutations--I love this guy.

Is this common..?
Carboplatin
was cancelled as my oncologist said my red blood cells were too low 40 and should be 100. I had to have another blood test on Friday at my GPS ready for Monday so my oncologist can decide whether chemo will go ahead Tuesday.

SCLC chemo then full brain radiotherapy
Luckily treatment was given 6 rounds of chemo
Carboplatin
and etoposide and 10 sessions of 4 min full brain radiotherapy. Mum had great response to the chemo and was able to see again. Mum also had very little side affects. Radiotherapy started in January and all seemed good.

Low PSA (Less than 2 ng/ml) but high Gleason (9) cancer which spread to liver
I am now on chemotherapy (doxitaxil and
carboplatin
) along with ADT. Dr. believes that the immediate problem is controlling the progression in the liver which biopsy shows has the same characteristics as the cancer in the prostate.

Scan update: All systems go for now
I may go to standard
carboplatin
/permetrexed chemo at that time, the Foundation One test may reveal another target we can go after, or there may be a new phase 1 trial that would be a good choice.

A somewhat overdue update.
Back to IV taxol/
carboplatin
every week for nine weeks. I got straight answers about my initial surgery since all results are back now.

Hello I'm back in the light after Carboplatin!!!!
Never happened before on
Carboplatin
or Taxol and
Carboplatin
. Never ever had 1 day of feeling reasonable so I'm so pleased. I feel this time I'm going to do all 6 . I told my oncologist I'd made a new years resolution to get through them all.

Worries of Recurrence
Two surgeries, six rounds of
Carboplatin
. I have been in remission almost one year. I am wondering how any of you may have found out about recurrence. I am afraid my CA125 level will not warn me of recurrence. It was only 32 when I was diagnosed.

Set back
I was supposed to have cycle 2 of second line Caelyx/
Carboplatin
today. But blood test revealed low blood counts - I am anaemic and neutropenic so I have to be careful around groups of people. My oncologist thinks bloods will right themselves and I should be ok for next Monday.
