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!

whats next? - 4th round of chemo
Hi - my mum has already had 3 lots of chemo for her ovarian cancer - she has had
carboplatin
each time but had to take an enormous amount of steroids with her last chemo sessions - she was on Avastin too just wondering if anyone know what she will be given now - what else is there?

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.

Chemo Probs
Drip stopped and given more drugs to help deal with it then
carboplatin
restarted and managed to have the rest of the treatment . Have had a bad week since absolutely shattered and am just starting to feel more in control.

Hello all I haven't posted in quite a long time but finished second line chemo (
carboplatin
) for recurrence diagnosed at end of July (first time diagnosed in October 2012). CT scan followed with my results on Monday.

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.

Diagnosis, but awaiting pathology. Just need to off-load! Advice on preparing for chemo.
Treatment plan being determined next week and probably 3 x
carboplatin
, then debulking, then more chemo Family are great, as are friends but feel pretty lonely right now. Still haven't really wailed but guess this would help!?

Another first post
No surgery possible because disease seeded throughout abdomen, but 18 weeks of
Carboplatin
, followed by approx. a year of "remission". Recurrence in April this year, followed by another 18 weeks of
Carboplatin
, which I have just finished.
