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

Taxol Side Effects?????????? Help please!!
She was fine on
Carboplatin
last year only had a bit of nausea, so this is totally different for her. Is this normal 5 days after treatment? I am concerned in case they say she cannot have Taxol anymore.

What other treatments are available?
I've just come for my 5th treatment of
carboplatin
and I've been told that my CA125 had leveled out and that I need a CT scan to see what's going on.

Primary Peritoneal Cancer
I got the all clear last December but am now having to undergo a second course of chemo,
carboplatin
and paclitaxel. Apart from being pretty rare and coming under the umbrella of OC, there seems to be a dearth of info about it. Can anyone help? Harley

Maintenance once in remission
My mum was diagnosed in Nov 2010 with stage 3c and has since undergone chemo (weekly taxol with
carboplatin
every third week), surgery and now more chemo before hopefully getting into remission. Fingers crossed!!! What an awful time this has been as I'm sure you are all so very aware of.

Hope even when diagnosed stage 4
Lucky for me I saw a wonderful oncologist who commenced taxol and
carboplatin
chemo. I responded and had surgery half way through(once said to be a waste of time). To date my CA125 has remainded stable at normal levels.

Scared
I had a full hysterectomy followed by 6 sessions of
Carboplatin
.. I had 3 monthly checks for a year and am now on 6 monthly checks... depending whether you start counting from diagnosis or end of treatment, I am either 4 or 3 years survivor.

Shortage of Drug Caelyx?
I have just seen my Oncologist And having been told at a previous appt that I was to have Caelyx after 8 courses of
Carboplatin
since 2001. Today he informed me that Caelyx is in short supply worldwide and that I would have to have Topotecan instead.
