There is light at the end of the tunnel
I underwent the usual chemo but
carboplatin
only, I couldn't have paclitaxol with it due to a congenital heart defect. I had debunking surgery after the third chemo. I was given 2 to 2.5 years to live when diagnosed. In July 2015 I was NED and have had blood tests every three months since.

Nearly a year post chemo
I had 6 cycles of Docataxel,
Carboplatin
and Herceptin and with added Pertuzumab at cycle 2. I then had bilateral mastectomy and lymph node clearance left axilla. That is all fine. All healed up and no problem. I am continuing on the Herceptin and Pertuzumab every 3 weeks.

Confirmed papillary serous carcinoma Stage 4B
Start chemo seven cycles of 21days, Day 1
Carboplatin
and Paclitaxel( Taxol) then 20 days and the next cycle starts. Side effects explained think I might get a wig as hair loss is almost certain. Otherwise onward and upwards and lets get this show started!

stage 4 treatment From Holly
There is reluctance to continue treatment although it has been suggested that one chemo without
carboplatin
could be tried as I am resistant to
carboplatin
, known as 'platinum refactory' although 'response rates from subsequent standard therapies are low' .

Halfway through, cold cap and scan results
I had 2 lots of
carboplatin
before so never lost my hair and this time they told me I would so I decided to use the cold cap. I have had 9 sessions, 9 to go and haven't lost a strand as yet (touching wood as we speak).

I'm better than I've been in 2 years.
Feb 15 started taxol &
carboplatin
, had 2 treatments, 3rd treatment bad reaction with HBP and massive spasm in the back. Had to quit. But, CA 125 went from 77 to 11.3 Lost all my hair, think if it did so well on that, it may have gotten the cancer.

UTTERLY EXHUSTED
I'm on my 3rd of 6
Carboplatin
. Day 6. I am so so so exhusted . Can hardly do anything. Just lying on sofa. Didn't feel this tired the 1st and 2nd time in fact bounced back real quick. Is this because it's accumulated? Sickness worn off drinking well not too hungry but am eating. This is normal ?

Follow up
I opted for 6 cycles of
carboplatin
to optimise my chances. This has just finished. My oncologist has told me he doesn't intend to scan me or do CA125 test, so it's just watch and wait. During chemo CA125 was around 30, last one 34 which was slightly up on the previous one.

Quick recurrence, starting chemo regimen 2
I had an excellent response to frontline neoadjuvant treatment with
carboplatin
and taxol , an optimal debulking, but have recurred as of my three month check up. I have also had 10 external beam radiation treatments to my pelvic bone and a total thyroidectomy since last April.

Update on Scans..
She let me know that he seems to be showing a response to the chemo treatments (
Carboplatin
), and that the spots on his liver have shrunk significantly. She also let me know that she did not see any new growths since his last scans in March.

Be prepared 2nd line Chemo here I come
SAW my wonderful oncologist this morning confirmed that it's back with a scattering around my peritoneum not operable, so planning for further chemo combination will be
carboplatin
and calyx. So like a good old girl guide I better be prepared.

I'm new to all this. A question about abdominal pain.
I have just completed my third
carboplatin
/ paclitaxel chemo, have a CT scan next week, then a consultation with my Oncology Gyne team regarding debulking surgery. Surgery tentatively set for May 25th, followed by three more cycles of targeted chemo.
