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?

Any new drug treatments I can ask the doctor about? Running low on options
She has had the following treatments: Avastin/paclitaxel/
carboplatin
(i think that's what it was first line) Weekly taxol Cisplatin/etoposide (she got 6 months from this) She is now on weekly Gemcitabine The doctor said we are running lower on options now and it is quite aggressive that it becomes resistant

Hello
This was followed with weekly chemo with
carboplatin
and taxol. I was unwell during chemo but once completed felt really well. I had my Stoma reversed in July 2015. However in January 2016 found the cancer was back. I had more chemo starting in January.

Carboplatin only
Hi all! Since my neuropathy has been so bad for the past week, at treatment today, I received Carbo only. They did not give me Taxol. So I'm hoping that will help with the neuropathy. Is anyone else just on Carbo weekly? How did you do? Did you ever get start back on taxol further along in treatment?

Latest on my wife -any advice welcomed please
The doctors say that they cannot start the chem until the infection is gone (
carboplatin
and paclitaxol for 6 sessions). However, my wife has also developed a blood clot (which is why there is infection) as a result of the anti-clotting injections she needs to still take 5 weeks after the op.

Docetaxel and Nintedanib
In December 2015 it returned and I was treated early this year with
Carboplatin
and something else which I've forgotten. The tumours have now spread to my kidney and the secondaries in the other lung have grown.

Post Abdominal hysterectomy surgery
It started when I had
carboplatin
. Thought it would have gone away by now. Just wondered if anyone else has been having similar symptoms? It makes me feel tired at times and cannot do much especially when I lift something. Should I see speak to my oncologist nurse?

Side Effects of Decadron or Carboplatin?
Good Morning to all my Fellow sisters, I am on my 5th round of
Carboplatin
/Taxol treatment for stage 3B OC. I have fared pretty well but as you know chemo is cumulative. After I get the
Carboplatin
, every third week, I feel fine for day 1 and 2.

Starting chemo
Anyway, I'm booked in for
carboplatin
next week. She agreed to defer adding avastin and taxol until the next time, as I have a graduation ceremony on the 17th which I want to be reasonably healthy for. Feeling apprehensive!

Indian summer as the chemo train approaches
I was going to be offered dose dense
carboplatin
and taxol which I was a bit worried about as the caries trial where my tumour samples were tested reckoned that
carboplatin
would not be any benefit to me. But docs still thought this was my best option.

Maybe an odd question
I'm having my last chemo treatment of single agent
Carboplatin
on Tuesday. I asked my onc if I could go to Spain three weeks later and she said yes but I'm reading my labs and my white cell count seems low. Of course I will ask her tomorrow but has anyone had any in flight experience?

Pain relief for Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer
I'm currently having chemotherapy (
carboplatin
and paclitaxel) weekly at The Christie in Manchester (only had three so far). The question I wanted to ask was about how some of you may have managed your pain and if it got better as the chemo progressed.

Post Chemo
Was given taxol and
carboplatin
. I am of the opinion that the side effects from carbo has made me feel this way. However, I was given the all clear and have come along way since May. Would be grateful for any advice. Angela
