Chemo
For myself, I have yet to start chemo, but have been told that the
Carboplatin
dose is decided according to my kidney function.Therefore as my kidney function is good I have a larger dose!! Also with regards to the Paclitaxel chemo, that dose is decided in accordance with my height.

side effects
The side effects of the 3 drugs, (
carboplatin
, taxol, avastin & lets not forget the Neulasta injection), seem to be hitting me hard this time round and I've only had the 1st session. so tired it is unbelievable.... anyone would think I had run a marathon, cleaned & vacuumed the house top to bottom (fat

Ovarian Ca now grade 3c - 3 years on
I had both ovaries removed in Sept 2011 followed by adjuvant chemo of
Carboplatin
(I didn't want Taxel) for 6 sessions. Altho' the oncologist at that time examined me internally and rectally every 3 months he went by my tumour marker from the blood test, Ca 125.

My hair is coming out on pillow a lot now, if I am going to lose all my hair how long will it take?
After 3 lots of
carboplatin
have had my second lot of caelyx 2 days ago and my hair is noticably coming away now. Just wonder if this is normal and if it keeps getting worse or suddenly falls out completely. Not had noticable hair loss before just thinning. Any advice on when to get a wig, hat.

I am platinum resistent after 3 doses of carboplatin and now had 2nd round of caelyx will have ct scan after next round in 2 weeks,
Just wonder if there are other options if this does not work. I am worried as my onc told me caelyx has a 20% chance of working but didnt mention a plan B. When oc recurred in January with pelvic mass, liver and lung lesions Carbo was offered as second line because I had had 6 years remission with it

Mum was due her third taxol on the trial yesterday. She had a massive nosebleed and is missing it this week. Will it make a difference!
Mum is on the trial where she has a big blast of
carboplatin
and then a third of taxol every week. She was due her last third of taxol yesterday but before she went she had a big nosebleed and ended up having it quarterised and a bung up it which will dissolve.

I have just started on weekly Taxol. I reacted to carboplatin any caelyx failed to help me. How effective has weekly Taxol been for others?

Gripping pain in forearm after chemo drip?
Called nurse and she said I might be allergic to
carboplatin
. Suggested I take some painkillers and use hot pads, but otherwise not much they can do about it. Feeling deflated as its very annoying and of course painful! Painkiller doesn't seem to be helping much.

A two-year experience of Lung Cancer
The seriousness of my condition meant that I had to have Chemotherapy almost immediately, after radiotherapy, with four months of chemotherapy (
Carboplatin
and Pematrexed). During this treatment my pain levels became severe and I was prescribed up to 130 mg of Zomorph.

Has anyone else had this?
Chemo wise, she has had
Carboplatin
+ Taxol (she's allergic to Taxol so only had two minutes!), ECX, Trabectedin, Caelyx, Abraxane and now just
Carboplatin
. She cannot take any oral medication so everything has to be IV.

I started
carboplatin
and gemcitabine with Avastin. I had a scan after 4 cycles because I was feeling really bloated and full. The scan showed a partial response no new growth and some minor shrinkage.

Has anyone had taxol and carboplatin for 2x6 cycles (over 2 yrs) followed by Caelyx for 6 cycles? If all these fail, what else is there?

I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE OF INTEREST.
• Platinum-Resistant -- these are patients whose disease recurred within six months of conventional chemotherapy (using the drugs cisplatin or
carboplatin
) and are generally less responsive to subsequent treatments and have not responded as well to PARP inhibitors.

Seven years and counting...
When the calendar read 18 April, I thought omg 7 years ago at just 45 I was told I had Stage 3c OC, with spread to lymph nodes. 4 chemo cycles later (
Carboplatin
is the drug), with total remissions in between, and I'm tucking into an Easter Egg from one of my lovely godchildren, and feeling great,
