Avastin
I finished my 7th chemo on 3rd December and the onc decided to cancel the 8th and final one (Taxol,
Carboplatin
with Avastin included since 5th chemo) as I was hospitalised before the scheduled 8th one on 23rd December with neutropenic sepsis and had low haemoglobin and needed blood transfusions.

Ovarian Carcinosarcoma
I need three cycles of Paclitaxel and
carboplatin
in an attempt to shrink the tumour in order for it to be operated on. Has anyone else had this diagnosis and was the chemo successful in shrinking the tumour ready for an operation?

Surprise Scan Result
Had my scan at the Christie on Saturday after 6 sessions of
Carboplatin
/Caelyx during which time my CA125 had increased every month so I was dreading the results.

Cisplatin anyone?
Hello I've reacted to my last dose of
carboplatin
, having had extra steroids and antihistamines as I also reacted to the last, second, infusion. It was working so seems to me that the most similar other chemo, which seems to be cisplatin, would be my best option.

Re-occurance within 6 months
Mid August I knew things were not right and went back and following CT scan which revealed granules of disease in the peritoneum, and Ca 125 risen to 107 I went back on to
carboplatin
and caelyx.

First Chemo
Had my first Chemo today I am fine now but I had a reaction to the
Carboplatin
and it was very scary! Felt very strange chest very tight apparently my face went bright red and I felt very hot!!! (It wasnt a menopause hot flush which I had read can be mistaken for a reaction).

Salty Taste in Mouth
I'm on
carboplatin
and paclitaxel and wonder if anyone recognises this as a side effect or perhaps has any other logical explanation. I am definitely not dehydrated as I drink plenty and my blood levels don't indicate dehydration Any ideas?? Thank you!

Chemo reaction
I'm on
carboplatin
only for 3rd line and on my second IV dose I had a reaction and only received half the treatment. They didn't think I recovered enough to carry on. I have extra steroids to take next time. This happened once during first line but not 2nd line when I was on gem/carbon/avastin.

Drip stopped and given more drugs to help deal with it then

Carbo: second verse, same as the first?
Having my second round of
carboplatin
tomorrow. I'm curious about whether how you tolerate the first round is a good indication of what to expect with the rest?

Glad to have found this forum
So far, so good with the first
carboplatin
treatment I think. What I struggle with most, probably, is bouts of depression or anger or anxiety that happen very suddenly and intensely.

Greetings!
I was quickly transferred to The Christie as an outpatient and put on a tri-weekly chemo scheme of Permexetred and
Carboplatin
, which I have just finished the initial six belts of, whilst continuing to have to inject anti-coagulant twice daily at home in order to prevent DVT or a PE finishing me off

Update on Vertex trial after 8 cycles (24 weeks)
Just had scan after 8 cycles on the Vertex trial (a combination of
Carboplatin
chemo plus Vertex ATR inhibitor trial drug). Scan results shows overall disease is stable (not shrinking as on previous results). I am happy with stable as I am asymptomatic.
