Back again
After having a complete hysterectomy I had the first line of chemo
Carboplatin
. Everything went well and I had 15 months of remission. Back in Nov 13 I was told there was a recurrence of the disease which was now in the peritoneum. I had 2nd line chemo carbo/taxol which finished in Mar 14.

Caelyx
Was given Caelyx yesterday with
Carboplatin
for chemo 4 First line as had allergic reaction to Pacliataxol. Had just carbo chemo 3 and new ONC tried to talk me into just having Carbo but felt cheated as not getting 2 chemos as I am able to tolerate 2.

TOTALLY PERPLEXED
I am currently on
Carboplatin
only, he said I would be better with Paclitaxel and then maybe Avastin. I chose one only to start as I did not feel well enough for the two. We have agreed to review after my third chemo and scan, and then maybe extend the chemo.

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.
