Indigestion, or IBS or OC pain?
(Finished 6 x
carboplatin
in July 2011). I didn't have these pains when I saw him,although I had been a bit constipated, but went to my GP immediately after Christmas to explain that the discomfort was stopping me eating and keeping me awake at night when it gets worse.

Bad reaction to carboplatin any info?
i had my first 6 lots of chemo in 2009-10 with carbo platin/taxol but when the tumours recurred early this year I was put on carbo platin alone. The first lot went well and I am on the Icon6 trial but today, 10 mins in to the infusion I suddenly became very ill, dizzy sick, horrendous stomach pains and

Radical hysterectomy and menopausal symtoms.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March and have just had my 4th round of
carboplatin
. On 25th July I'll be having a radical hysterectomy, debulking, removal of 2 large cysts on my ovaries (which they say look borderline) and a secondary tumour above my cervix.

any advice?
I then had six cycles of
carboplatin
and a routine follow up ct scan. I got my results yestertday and the ct has shown that the cyst on my remaining ovary has grown back, its 4cm (the same size that it was when my surgeon removed it first time round).

Advice re 'maintenance' chemo
I've also been told that I can go on the ICON6 trial or if chosing not to, go on
Carboplatin
and Caelyx. Does anyone have any experience of either of these and did anyone have a similar choice?

Has anyone out there been through pelvic radiotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer? If so, how effective?
Big op and 3 cycles of chemo - taxol/
carboplatin
. Another op this year (colostomy). Latest tumour localised -hence offer of radiotherapy

Pre-chemo session blood test failure
I am on
carboplatin
for the third time in several years (previous two was taxol as well) but this is the first time my chemo has been delayed due to this blood situation.

Is anyone having, or has had Caelyx (Liposomal doxorubicin)?
I've had 2 full courses of
Carboplatin
over the last 2 years and in a few weeks will be starting on Caelyx as the cancer is returning. Its only in my abdomen thankfully but needs treating for the third time.

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in March
Had chemo
carboplatin
and taxol, six sessions. Went to see oncologist today who confirmed that the tumours in the liver had shrunk and were dormant. Told that i would probably need more treatment in future for oc as it would probably return.

Caelyx followed by Carboplatin and Taxol
I've been advised that I could have Caelyx followed by
Carboplatin
and Taxol further down the line. Wondered if anyone had gone down this route and if what the advantages and disadvantages were.

Advice about increase in CA125 soon after finishing treatment for recurrence
She finished her first lot of treatment (
carboplatin
) for Primary Peritoneal/Ovarian cancer in August 2009, and then had a recurrence and went on treatment again in September 2010, also going onto the ICON6 trial. At the end of this lot of treatment (February 2011), her CA125 was about 300.

Whats your view on having Carboplatin and Paclitaxel as a treatment as oppose to just Carboplatin?
In March 2009 I had a hysterectomy as had ovarian cyst and was then diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer and had 6 treatments of
Carboplatin
and Paclitaxel. I was given the all clear in July 2009.

Since Dose 2 of Taxol & Carboplatin, I get the most awful pain in my back - acid reflux I'm assuming which seems to last for 2/3 days.
This reflux pain is worse than any I have had before and it is so disabling around 5/6 days post-chemo. I already take Omeprazole daily and have started taking Ranitidine in addition, which helps very slightly. Any advise please?

A Big Public "Thank You' to WendyDee - Menopause Symptoms!
I then had 6 cycles of
carboplatin
, and set about de-stressing my life (that was my job out of the window!), eating very well, and getting a healthy amount of exercise. Frankly, I was really just chuffed to bits to still be here (still am!!)

Hi can anyone give me their experiances of Caelyx chemo. I have had Carboplatin and Taxol twice since being diagnosed in 2008
However since finishing my last chemo in December 2010 I have new symptoms now and have been advised that Caelyx would be the next chemo suitable for me. I have decided that I still have to fight on and feel more positive now that last week after the visit to the oncologist. Some insight into Caelyx
