Depressed
I have completed 2 out of six cycles of

What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of
Carboplatin
, and first of Taxol and Avastin last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it.

Big Decision to be made.
Months into the OC battle having had the big op followed by 3 different lots of Chemo and the tablet form Letrosole ( which did nothing to help) and the Cancer spread everywhere into the peritorium Apparently it is near all the vital organs but not yet in them, I started back on another round of

Off Taxol..
I feel a bit upset because I said to the nurse will the
carboplatin
be as good as combined carbo/taxol, and she replied that I am only having aduvent chemotherapy so it will be fine. Then I said to her , well why have it at all. She never answered.

Last Cycle of chemo and new Problems Arise
the first 3-4 cycles I sailed through and now it is taking me longer to recover from the
carboplatin
. How long for those who have pushed through does it take to start to feel normal again? Wishing you all strength in fighting this. XX Carol

Diagnosed with stage 1c 6 weeks ago.
I have been advised to have 6 cycles of chemo to mop up, was told there is very little evidence that giving
carboplatin
and taxol will increase my chances of it not recurring as against having the carbo alone. So that is what I am doing, starting next Tues.

Needing some positivity 😢
I completed 2nd line
carboplatin
and Gem in June was disappointed as I didn't get NED but the consultant was pleased with the effect of the chemo. Am lucky enough to be on avastin for maintenance.

Rotten damn luck.
You may remember that my mum has a secondary tumour in her small intestine which recently caused a blockage she was told to go away and decide whether to have a 3rd round of chemo Paclitaxel and
Carboplatin
once a week for 18 weeks.

Enlarged Spleen
When I went through Chemo I was given
carboplatin
which gave me a dragging sensation below the ribs. Now I am thinking it could be the spleen. It comes and goes and is affected when I overexert myself. Just wondered if anyone could give me some advice on the spleen?

Am I being a wimp?
I had my first dose of
carboplatin
last Wednesday. Until yesterday I was tired and constipated, but generally fine. Today I am completely wiped out, having to lie down to recover from minor efforts like chopping onions. Is this normal, and will I regain some energy soon?
