Carboplatin only?
All that to ask...have any of you just done the
carboplatin
only without the taxol? If so, did you get good results? Thanks so much, in advance, for your answers.

Lymph node lady at chemo train station. Help !
My BIG question is why am I being given
Carboplatin
only ? The CNS just told me that Taxol is too severe even though I tolerated it very well last time.

Carbo side effects?
I now have three chemos to go , the first one was only
carboplatin
and gave me worse side effects than the two together extreme nauseous for four days in fact. Anyone else experiencing this ? Also ended up with a stoma what to people find their issues with this are during chemo ? Xx

Update
She suggested stopping treatment but after a few tears (mine, not hers) she agreed that I can try three-weekly
carboplatin
with the Care Oncology Clinic drug regime. I am hoping that the C.O.C. drugs might make the
carboplatin
effective again.

Sulphur burbs
Hello ladies, I had my second round of taxol/
carboplatin
. The sulphur burps started yesterday evening, and still going strong at 5:45 next morning. I am on nexium but it's not doing any good for this complaint. Did any of you suffer from this and what did you take to relieve it?

Caelyx next
Having reacted to
carboplatin
and having had 6 rounds of cisplatin, I am to start caelyx next week. So any experience or advice would be useful. I did read up on it a while ago and it seems that some women sail through with few effects while some have severe side effects.

Hitting a new low
She is suggesting
Carboplatin
and Caelyx to start whenever I "feel like it". I don't understand. I feel so well with no symptoms. I want to howl and howl and howl. I've done everything I can over the last 2 years to put the cancer behind me and here we are again.

Avastin
Following 6 sessions of
Carboplatin
and Taxol, my CA 125 dropped from 629.8 to 11.2. Debulking in 2 weeks and thereafter my oncologist says I will not need further chemo unless the cancer returns.

3rd bash at controlling OC
However, I stated 2nd Chemo of Gemcarbo/
Carboplatin
which lasted all of 2 sessions because it wasn't working, the jolly old CA 125 skyrocketed.

Port a cath query
It's 6 cycles of
carboplatin
only so once every 3 weeks but weekly bloods. My question is with regards to removal of the devise. I woukd like to have it removed when finished as I don't need the constant reminder nor do I plan to have a recurrence😂.

Reached the end of the Rainbow!
Fyi, she had debulking with hipec, followed by six cycles of IV chemo (
carboplatin
and paclitaxel) together with intra peritoneal chemo (paclitaxel). In retrospect, appears it wasn't a bad idea after all to expose her to such hard and harsh regimen of treatment.
