Treatment Review
As I have been having chemo since September firstly
carboplatin
which did not work then on to weekly Taxol which I had an allergic reaction with the 2nd. I am going to have a break to give my body a bit of recovery time .She has put me on Tamaxofen to see if it will help with a review in a month.

Neuropathy info please
I'm beginning to develop neuropathy after the second dose of cisplatin (swopped to that due to
carboplatin
allergy). As walking and knitting are two of my main activities and part of my social life I'm worried about this.

Ct scan and subcentimeter hydrodensities
Hi I had my first ct scan after having 6 rounds of
carboplatin
/taxol. My scan came back good but they said at the dome of my liver is 2 subcentimeter hydrodensities. They said it was too small for cross sectional imaging. They think it may be small cysts. Anyone have something similar to this?

Chemo Side Effects
My mum has a rare NSCLC and has had 2 cycles of
carboplatin
& pemetrexed. On the 3rd cycle 2wks ago they dropped the
carboplatin
as her bloods were dropping too much. On Saturday she was admitted to hospital with chronic diarrhoea she is still in hospital now & there has been no improvement.

Tumour has grown!
She has had 3 gruelling rounds of
carboplatin
& pemetrexed for her stage IV NSCLC. We were delivered the blow on Friday that the chemo hasn't helped at all & the lung tumour has grown quite a bit. We are devastated that it hasn't helped & we're really confident it would at least be stable.

Carboplatin/caelyx information
I am about to start 3rd line with
carboplatin
/caelyx and am in one of those"Oh no! I just can't do this again" moods. I have looked up the Macmillan site and scared myself silly.

Keep getting upset
Had my forth cycle (taxol/
carboplatin
) two weeks ago and I've found this to be my worst treatment. Had another urine infection, twinges around tummy area and can't stop crying. Is this all to do with the chemo and has any of you lovely ladies had this problem? l'm dreading next week (fifth cycle)

Bladder problems post chemo
are about to be investigated ,I think it was the
carboplatin
that has caused the problem.

Sickness
Had my 3rd cycle of taxol/
carboplatin
on Wednesday and still feeling sick. Taking ondansetron twice a day plus metoclopradamide if needed. Was prescribed a quarter of a tablet at night of levomepromazine but found I was having bad dreams, so I stopped taking them..

finished the six rounds, what is common for long term side effects after the carboplatin and paklotaxal... stomach pain and evening yuckines
Hi there, so cervical cancer tumor is gone after stage 4 diagnosis... expect it will return from what the doctors tell me. I am just not sure what to be watching for when I feel what I think are long term side effects of chemo. Stomach pains, slight indigestion and loss of appetite, heavy legs and

Bloating again
Hi all I finished 7 sessions of Taxol/
Carboplatin
(with Avastin added on last 3) on December 3d and have had two infusions of Avastin only since. I've had some discomfort/pain and bloating in my abdomen and had a scan last Thursday.

Here we go again - cisplatin this time
After reacting to
carboplatin
(3rd line) twice they have switched me to cisplatin. I hope I'll be alright with that. The doctor said I would have all 6 doses which I was disappointed with as I'll be in treatment until May, having started carbo in November, but if it works, it'll be worth it.

Timing of follow-up CT scan?
Hi everyone, This may be a silly question, but: I'm between rounds 4 and 5 of
carboplatin
(6 in total). I was told that I'd have a follow-up CT scan 3-4 weeks after my final dose. Today I had an appointment letter in the post to attend a CT scan the day *before* my final round.

Avastin
Hi everybody I finished my 7th chemo on 3rd December and the onc decided to cancel the 8th and final one (Taxol,
Carboplatin
with Avastin included since 5th chemo) as I was hospitalised before the scheduled 8th one on 23rd December with neutropenic sepsis and had low haemoglobin and needed blood transfusions

Ovarian Carcinosarcoma
I need three cycles of Paclitaxel and
carboplatin
in an attempt to shrink the tumour in order for it to be operated on. Has anyone else had this diagnosis and was the chemo successful in shrinking the tumour ready for an operation?

Surprise Scan Result
Had my scan at the Christie on Saturday after 6 sessions of
Carboplatin
/Caelyx during which time my CA125 had increased every month so I was dreading the results.
