Scared to ask
I was put on
carboplatin
and alastin. The cancer shrunk and I was put on Alastin for maintenance. The Alastin did not work after 3 months so I was put on Opdivo for 4 treatments. In the meantime my pain level was off the chart and I started taking Oxycotin.

Winter wedding
I was v tired today and went to the Christie for Chemo but had bad allergic reaction the
carboplatin
even though I've had lots in the past. So it was quite scary with oxygen and lots of antihistamines. Home and feeling lot better now. May go back for very slow treatment next week.

Need some reassurance
I last had chemo...my first
Carboplatin
alone but stopped so November and December didn't gave any as white bloods too low. Due to hopefully restart January. Ca125 below 30 last time and last scan October. Major organs clear. But Oncologist was worried it was near my kidney.

Scared about chemo effects, and the future...
I've just finished 8 sessions of chemo, and had weekly taxol, with 3 rounds of
carboplatin
, and 2 of avastin. I'm due to have my surgery the 2nd week of January and then will restart another round of chemo.

Daily behaviour following debulking surgery
I have done a few walks (just around the house, or the garden so that I'm being a little bit active...) and then I find I get a heavy tiredness come over me, similar to when I have all 3 drugs on chemo (
carboplatin
, taxol and avastin) and so I've ended up laying on the sofa again...where I've stayed,

Hair loss - docetaxol & carboplatin
I just started docetaxol and carboplating right before Thanksgiving. I know I'm going to lose my hair with these chemo treatments. For anyone who's been on these, when did you start to lose your hair? I'm just trying to figure out when to buzz my head before the clumps start to fall, and secretly hoping

Taxol stopped after second dose
Just had taxel stopped after second dose leaving four solo
carboplatin
to go. Did I lose my hair for nothing or will just two doses make a difference!?

My journey with ovarian cancer
I was told that I would receive chemotherapy as a "belt and braces" precaution and started a course of 6 treatments of chemo (Taxol/
Carboplatin
) in July. I was given a list of possible side effects but in the end got off lightly with loss of hair and tiredness.

Day after diagnosis...
The first being
Carboplatin
on its own or second option is
Carboplatin
and Paclitaxel together. Does anyone have any experience with these drugs? Any advice would be really appreciated at this time. Thank you in advance

Experiences with caelyx / carboplatin as second line treatment (for a 70 year old lady)?
We've had a lovely period of respite since, but she now has a nodule of disease in her pleural cavity (I think that's the term - not quite in her lung but pressing on it) and so they're going to start on chemo again -
carboplatin
/caelyx this time - in about a week.

FEELING SICK
So I had just
Carboplatin
5 weeks ago. Couldn't have it on the 3rd week as my white cells are down. I am due more on Tuesday after my bloods are checked Monday. The question I have is I feel tummies and sicky most of the time. There are periods of the day when I'm ok and it goes when I go to bed.

Why do they stop Avastin?
Hi, I am currently about to have session 16 Avastin treatment following the usual
carboplatin
/ paclitaxol regime which included debulking surgery half way through. My CA125 has remained normal so presumably the Avastin is working so why will it be stopped after 18 treatments?

Carboplatin
,.. I'm on the 3rd week now due for another Tuesday. ... Possibly not going to go ahead with it though. Thank you

Questions about Mum
She recurred last January and has had six cycles of
carboplatin
and is now on Tamoxifen. The doctors were really pleased with her response to both treatments. She had a scan in July and another in October and there had been no change.
