Should I ask for a new assessment - fourth edition
I start on
carboplatin
and pemetrexed and hope I get another lucky break and it works. If it all goes to pot, at least I enjoyed the summer, thanks to the unusually successful sessions of palliative radiotherapy and will always be grateful for this unexpected bonus.

Taxol or carboplatin?
The oncologist is talking about starting me on weekly taxol, but I read that some women go on weekly
carboplatin
rather than taxol, and some on caelyx. Can anybody give any advice on which might be more effective please?

Thank you!
I’m off to see my oncologist tomorrow, I’m going to suggest that she lowers the dose on the
Carboplatin
this time. I also have a few other questions for her as well, thank to you guys. Hopefully I won’t have such horrid side effects this time. Keep your fingers crossed for me please!

Pivot. And pivot again. Scheduled for Pluvicto on 8/25 at Banner Gateway in Gilbert, AZ
He wasn't given
carboplatin
and neulasta with his last docetaxel. The docetaxel was a reduced dose. Hoping his blood counts improve with these changes. Labs are scheduled the 17th. Has anyone experienced low blood counts that improved after discontinuing
carboplatin
?

Is anyone on this clinical trial ACTOv
You can look the trial up by just typing in ACTOv cancer trial and it is based on
carboplatin
only as an adaptive therapy. Although I could not do this now,I thought it was a very interesting article,if you are still carbo sensitive.

Low Grade Adenocarcinoma Ovarian + Liver + lung + vertebrae Mets
She started her first chemo treatment yesterday on
Carboplatin
and paclaxitel. I think its weekly for 12 weeks. She has taken it well and is ambulatory. It truly has been painful and heartbreaking to see her pain through radiation therapy and the back pain before that.

not sure my Onco (or I)understood the Denmeade BAT paper.
The last two were accompanied by
Carboplatin
and 40mg and 80mg of Xtandi respectively. This lowered PSA to 6. That was three months ago. Last week, after 3months of 160mg/day Xtandi my PSA was 72.

Genetic counseling & testing
Just completed six rounds of docetaxel+
carboplatin
last week and will be seeing my doctor at Mayo on March 30 for further scans to gauge progress and evaluate next steps. Meanwhile, my oncologist at MN Oncology has recommended that I do genetic counseling and further genetic and tumor testing.

Second line standard of care treatment - weekly Paclitaxel - any experiences?
I was diagnosed in Nov 2021, had chemo (6 rounds Paclitaxel/
carboplatin
) and debulking surgery then PARP s. Was NED but had recurrence in Nov 2022. I’m now on weekly chemo paclitaxel (3 weeks on, 1 week off) and my CA 125 is falling (115 from 197) after only 4 treatments.

Hello there - any advice about Chemo (Carboplatin and Pemetrexed) and Immunotherapy (Pembrolizomab)?
Hi, so I was diagnosed just before Christmas (Is cancer the Christmas Grinch? 🤔 It was in my case....) Anyway, having been diagnosed with NSCL cancer I've now been put on a treatment plan, and start on Monday next week. Has anyone got any top tips for getting through the next few months? It all sounds

SOC options have run out, PSMA negative, declining health - what's next?
He is proposing
carboplatin
and possibly immunotherapy if that doesn't work but also counsuled my husband to consider how much he wants to put his body through since none of us have seen him this weak. He turns 75 on Thursday, but presented much more like a 60 year old even 2 months ago.

scans after chemo looking promising
Just finished 4th round of Chemo (Dox with
Carboplatin
) Scans after 3rd round showed resolved and smaller lymph nodes. Have a consultation with Dr. Kwon for a second opinion in January after chemo is finished. Oncologist at MSK is suggesting radiation may be an option.

So yesterday I started my first treatment with a combination of docetaxel to hit the plain old prostate cells and
carboplatin
to try to push back on the neuroendocrine component. So far so good. I included a biopsy photo for fun.

A potential treatment side effect for many of us.
I have had hearing loss for many years but it took a plunge in the 6 months following my chemo with
Carboplatin
and Etoposide. My audiologist was alarmed enough to order an MRI to rule out acoustic neuroma.
