Advice please
She is starting chemo on Thurs and the plan is 3 rounds of chemo (
carboplatin
and Taxol) then possible surgery followed by 3 more rounds of chemo. We've been told the scan after the first 3 rounds will determine whether surgery is possible.

Confused about Avastin
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 3 c in January 2015, had three cycles of
carboplatin

carboplatin
/ Cyclophosphane. Finished my treatment in June 2015 and feeling fine.

Ppc second chemo.
Was told they can't operate (had debulking surgery last year) but starting a different sort of chemo called liposomal doxorubicin I was on
carboplatin
and paclitaxel last year which I finished at Christmas. Has anyone else had this.

Continuing my PPC journey and getting a second opinion
I had the usual 6 months of
carboplatin
and taxol and was pronounced disease free at the end of treatment and up to Mar of this year when I was told that a CT scan showed my periaortic lymph nodes were swollen.

first recurrence - experiences?
She had 9 cycles of weekly Taxol/
carboplatin
chemo, then a very long debulking operation in November, then 7 more cycles of chemo, finishing in February. After this her CA125 was right down and scans came back clear.

Whatever next? A bit of a break I hope.
Third line chemo started on 8th Mach with
carboplatin
/caelyx. Two wonderful weeks followed when i really thought I'd got away without side effects. Chickens counted.....chickens came home to roost. Appalling diarrhea set in with breathless exhaustion.

Shakes when coming off steroids
I'm on cisplatin for 3rd line as I am allergic to
carboplatin
. I'm just going through the 5th dose so nearly there but it seems to get worse every time. The only thing that really helps is having someone hold me and I can't have someone here all the time ! They have to work and get on with life.

Recouping
Hi, my wife completes her first round of six cycles of
carboplatin
and paclitaxel by end May 2016. In your individual and collective experiences, how long do you think it will take for her to completely recoup herself from the effects of chemo and get to near normal?

Good news
So 4 chemotherapy sessions to go - just
Carboplatin
- fewer side effects and my hair will grow back. Obviously I'm a bit worried that I won't be having a 2nd drug, but will keep an eye on my CA 125. Val x

Germ Line Mutation Analysis
Received first TCH Chemo ( Docetaxel +
Carboplatin
+ Herceptin). My question is : Doctor has asked Germ Line Mutation Analysis, what it is going to found ? how it can effect treatment? Do we have enough data to to drive suggestion/treatment with enough confidence?

Day 1, I made it!
Reminder I'm on
carboplatin
/taxol. Tonight I am very tired (part I'm sure because I was so anxious up until today) & I'm achy in my back & stomach. Thank you all for your wonderful words of wisdom & encouragement. It means so much to me.

Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had Taxol/
Carboplatin
(+ a few cycles of Avastin), Caelyx/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly Taxol?

Going for second opinion at Royal Marsden
Hello all I've decided to go for a consultation at the R M Hospital, because I just don't feel that my second line treatment (
Carboplatin
/paclitaxel) which is exactly the same as my first line treatment ( which gave me remission of only 2 months) should be my only option.

Very nervous, starting Chemo Wednesday, May 4th
I have an appt. with her Tuesday to discuss my results & then she has me starting chemo (taxol/
carboplatin
) Wednesday morning. As a lot of you likely understand, I'm very frightened.

Dreading Caelyx ( and future in general)
I started 3rd line chemo with
carboplatin
/caelyx eight weeks ago. I never got to the 2nd cycle because all hell broke loose in my bowels.

Newly diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer
I will be on Taxol/
carboplatin
. Looking for any advice from anyone starting on this type chemo. Is the first round tough, does it get worse as far as side effects with each round. I have a treatment every 21 days. They won't know the stage of the cancer until they take lymph nodes/biopsies.
