Watering eyes?
I've been assuming that my watering right eye has been an ongoing side effect from
carboplatin
. It's not clearing up and is getting a bit uncomfortable - blocked tear duct? Anyone else with the same experience? I still have a peek on the site occasionally.

What do you do about other patients' partners who come to treatments full of bugs?
I was 30 mins into my third dose of
carboplatin
when the woman opposite's other half arrived. He then coughed and spluttered for the next 15 mins. No staff around to tell him to go away.

but
carboplatin

Hello All, Can any of you with ovarian carcinosarcoma tell me what treatment you've had and how it has responded? or anything else useful?
So far I've had the total hysterectomy and yesterday a second dose of
carboplatin
. I'm being treated at the Christie. General searches on the web are far too gloomy to pursue, so I've stopped doing that.

Topotecan
I started 3rd line chemo last week - Topotecan this time after
carboplatin
/taxol for lst and 2nd line. I had my second chemo yesterday and so far practically no side effects at all. A little nausea which is soon sorted out with the anti-sickness pills.

Scared
I have just had my third chemo of paclitaxel and
carboplatin
and they are scanning me in two weeks. They are planning to operate, a full hysterectomy, plus removal of omentum appendix and whatever bit of bowel is damaged too.

Mum has had her first chemo session and is so tired
She had
carboplatin
via IV then 3 days of etoposide. She also had steroids for a few days and starts antibiotics on Sunday. She was prescribed morphine as well for pain control and i think its possibly a combination of all these that have made her so tired. Does this sound normal folks?

Hello Anyone else out there with terrible muscle pain a week after carboplatin?
They also said it probably wasn't due to the
carboplatin
...but there are a number of us who would disagree. My GP said he didn't know what it was, though he has sent blood off for a muscle breakdown test. He also prescribed Phorpain gel to rub onto the legs and arms.

Is anyone taking Avastin as well as Taxol/Carboplatin as part of their Chemo regime?
It was suggested by my oncologist that given the advanced nature of my condition that there might be some advantge in combining Avastin to my chemo regime. However the funding request has so far been refused by the Cancer Drugs Fund on the basis that I do not meet the criteria as I am not suitable

Interested in finding more info on targeted chemo tablets, Iressa and Tarcevaa.
Our oncologist has recommended
carboplatin
/gemcitabine chemotherapy up to 4 cycles and might consider local radiotherapy, if there is a response to chemo.

After a hysterectomy and chemo I had excellent scan results but my cancer has come back very quickly.
3 months after finishing
carboplatin
/taxol/avastin chemo my CA125 has started to rise. It had been stable at around 17 and then in 3 weeks jumped to 51. I'm on maintenance chemo having Avastin every 3 weeks but now it looks as though this isn't working.

Back again!
First line chemo (6 X
Carboplatin
and Taxol every 3 weeks) was successful, but remission only lasted 4 months. Onc says I will have some more treatment, but he thinks I should have a rest from chemo for a while, and will go and see him for checks every 4 weeks.

Dad diagnosed with Lung Cancer
He is now on chemo,
carboplatin
and premextred every 3 weeks for a 6 time course. he seems to be doing well on the chemo. Has anyone else suffered with CUP and cancerous cells in the fluid? Still seems surreal especially given he's never smoked and was so fit and active:(

I have ovarian carcinosarcoma (1c). Starting carboplatin 9 weeks after diagnosis. Is that dangerously too long? No probs with hysterectomy.
