Don't despair when relapse occurs!
Within 2 years I had recurrence and from 2001-2011 had 8 courses of
carboplatin
for recurrences. In 2011 I became resistant to
Carboplatin
so had Topotecan followed by Gemcitabine and from June 2012 had weekly Taxol.

Matching Gwyn's Smilies!
She suggested that we could look at further
carboplatin
or topotecan or trials. She said she would not hesitate to refer me to the Marsden or John radcliffe if necessary. How lucky am I to have her fighting for me.

After the ecstasy and hope of being granted Avastin - the downside...
I started my first of three weekly Avastin doses during the final two lots of 6
carboplatin
, which was proving pretty ineffectual and frequently delayed by my low platelet and neutrophyl levels. It was my fourth cycle of chemo and understandably my body was complaining a bit.

how are you defined to be platinum resistant
I have recently been told that i can not have
carboplatin
as 3rd line treatment. they have offered me myocept with 20% chances of it working. if it works they say i can have
carboplatin
again in May as this works well for me but if it does not then it's palliative care.

List Writing
I'm just writing my list of things to ask the consultant on the 4th, not exactly a Christmas list, one of the things I'm wondering is would just having
carboplatin
without the taxol be good enough, and my concerns about early onset dementia due to the lack of oestrogen, I've got dry skin my hair feels

Genetic testing - yes or no?
I am currently undergoing 4th line chemo (
carboplatin
and taxol again) having being diagnosed with OC in April 2011. I have 2 daughters, both in their 30s, and I am naturally concerned that my having OC may mean they will be predisposed to the disease too.

Hello All. I would like to ask what is a good follow-up regime for me following chemo?
dose of
carboplatin
. So far the ca125 has been well below 35 and a ct scan in late September found nothing (other than gall stones). My specific questions are: How often should I be seeing an oncologist? How often should I be getting a ca125? How often should I be having a ct scan?

Here I go again on the chemo slide downhill to Christmas
Interested if anyone else has been on this one - or on IP at all really - and have experience to share - you get randomised into ~ EITHER
carboplatin
/taxol the normal IV way ~ OR the
carboplatin
is delivered 'straight to site' as it were via this IP port in my hip area plus taxol IV as usual in the

Update as promised
Baseline CT scan done on Monday and then 1st of 6 chemotherapy sessions yesterday, avestin, taxol &
carboplatin
. Was surprised that it took 7 1/2 hours at the hospital for the chemo, but I am not feeling too bad so far.

Another Day
Of course the possitivity for chemo had to come from somewhere I can almost quote every chemo drug and which ones are used together, because of my anti-Taxol stance, I read a report from October this year that gave the different combi options, but it did say that
carboplatin
/taxol is still considered

Had to cancel my 'Look Good Feel Better' session today.
The taxol was omitted due to pins and needles to hands and feet so felt sure I'd be fine with only having
carboplatin
!!!! How optimistic was that? Have rearranged for Nov 20th when I should be in better form.

Just a little moan!
Such a shame the
carboplatin
didn't suit me this time as it worked so well for me the first time round with the taxol and the first round I had of it this year it knocked my tumour marks down by half after one round.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again
Anyone been desensitised for
carboplatin
. - that's the plan as soon as the fluid has been drained. What does anyone else think, and what experiences have you had with this? Thanks for any advice. Love n hugs
