CA125 higher now post chemo than pre op any advice or similar experience?
I had six cycles of chemo
Carboplatin
and had CT scan pre Christmas and was assuming my meeting with my oncologist today I would be given the all clear. Unfortunately he gave me the news that my bloods came back at 67 which is higher than pre first surgery which had been 54. I am floored.

Ascites preventing debulking surgery?
I have had 7 or 8 rounds of taxol/
carboplatin
which did nothing for the ascites, and not much for my CA125 levels (started at 9800 and now climbing back up to 3600 from 3300). I was finally switched to doxil this last visit, hopefully that will start to make a difference.

Ringing ears
I have just completed chemo number 8 (of 9) of
carboplatin
and taxol, with this one including Avastin. Has anyone else suffered with ringing ears?

Good News from ONC - It worked!!!!!
I had a successful surgery on July 30 followed with six lots of paclitaxel/
carboplatin
, Avastin continuing. (Stage 4 OC) Pre chemo I had a spot in the liver they were not sure about - I had an existing liver cyst and it was not clear whether the spot was pre-existing or cancer related.

Treatment for Advanced /METASTIC NSCLC
Have just completed 6 chemos of Pemetrexed and
Carboplatin
for the above. Result of post treatment scan shows that there is No further growth but also NO shrinkage" the Oncologist wants me to consider either Docetaxel or Erlotinib..

Primary peritoneal cancer
I originally had just
carboplatin
but within 2 months the ascitic fluid built up again so I am now going to be on
carboplatin
+ taxol. I shall be losing my beautiful locks! The woes!

Choice of chemo drugs
Do you think the added taxol is worth doing or to stick to the
carboplatin
on its own? Any thoughts either way would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am allergic to taxol
So therefore, I am only doing the
Carboplatin
! After doing six sessions on my reoccurance, I was only in remission for 5 months! The Oncologist assured me that it wasn't because just having the Carbollation was adequate! I don't even pretend to know! Wish I could be of more help to you!

Third line treatment imminent but not till the New Year.
Next plan is Caelyx plus yet another dose of
carboplatin
(this will be the third time). My Ca125 is now 983 which has risen slowly over the last few months.

CA125 on the up, CT scan shows new growth in/on liver and a spot next to the spleen. No more Avastin - what next?
Diagnosed 3c ovarian cancer back in July 2012, had debulking November 2012, ended up with permenant colostomy :) Started 2nd line gemcitabine/
carboplatin
plus the wonder drug Avastin, back in November 2013, after progression in the lymph nodes.

chemo sick-timing?
I'm curious as to the timing of the effects of
carboplatin
/taxol. My mom just had her first infusion and I always thought the nausea came right away, then subsided in about a week--but others have told me it doesn't start for a couple of weeks. Just trying to get an idea of what to expect.
