Sweating
I had six rounds of
carboplatin
last year. The disease is low grade and last time I saw the oncologist, she said that there was some growth but not enough to restart chemo yet.

Calcified Tumours
of Taxol and
Carboplatin
- 6 lots every 3 weeks - which kept me free for three and a half years..He says it is too toxic, wouldn't work, and my quality of life is better without it. I can see what he means - but on the other hand I feel that I'm not trying to fight the O Ca.

Chemotherapy fatigue and other issues
Hello everyone, Returned from seeing my mother in Italy last week, she has just completed her 3rd cycle (from 4) of chemo, taxol/
carboplatin
every 3wks. She seems to be coping not too bad considering how hot its been out there, her morale has been good even with the hairloss.

Ladies who had Carboplatin only.Did you dye your hair afterwards? How soon?
Well, I've had my 6
carboplatin

Does anyone have info on Topotecan?
As it is too close to last lot to have
carboplatin
again, I will be given Topotecan. Has anyone had this, or does anyone have info about it? I know I will probably lose my hair again, but still have the wig! Would be grateful for any input.

New to this, but would really like some help x
I started this on Tuesday and thought the side effects would be less as I was stopping the
carboplatin
, but they are not. Does anyone know if this will improve over time and is it OK to remain on chemo long term.

Decisions about chemotherapy
Is there anyone who has any similar experience, simliar age group that either opted for just
carboplatin
, both
carboplatin
and taxol etc. We thought mum would be advised which treatment would be best for her situation.

URGENT advice needed
Last year she was on
Carboplatin
which she also had after the cancer appeared in 2008 (early detection following ruptured cyst). The Carbo treatment stopped working towards the end of her treatment last September and her cancer marker was rising rapidly.

Fantastic Chemo Response - Was it the Curcumin?
She was then started on Paclitaxel/
Carboplatin
(PC) chemo; we persuaded her oncologist to sanction our use of Curcumin at the same time (having read great things about this ingredient of the curry spice, Turmeric, on the internet).

Fluid around the lungs
My mum is awaiting to have chemotherapy, i think its
carboplatin
/ taxol, 3 courses over 10 wks, after which she will have surgery (hysterectomy).The diagnosis is that its spread to her lymph nodes in abdomen area and is difficult to remove surgically.

seeding
I had six rounds of
carboplatin
which seemed to reduce the tumours and stablilize the condition. I was wondering if the organs get unstuck and everything (except the adhesions) goes back to normal.

How long to wait before beginning chemo?
They will decide soon when to start her chemo regime (4 courses of taxol/
carboplatin
) My mum is 73 and in quite good health for age, she has the ascites and her OC is advanced to include lymph nodes in abdomen area.

Avastin - is it an urban myth?
The decision SWMBO has made is
Carboplatin
alone, adding in the other one if it proves necessary later in the treatment. I asked about Avastin, could this be considered alongside the
Carboplatin
? The response was, 'not in this country, it is not available.

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?
