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.

Is it likely that taking aspirin may help families with BRCA2 gene mutation?
I responded well to taxol and
carboplatin
but had a relapse in March and thankfully am clear again with CA125 of 6. I am on Icon 6 trial also. Otherwise, I feel quite fit and healthy at the moment.

I had 4 rounds of Carboplatin/Taxol and then surgery in mid-August. The tumours on the omentum/peritoneal? could not be removed as they had spread over on to my pancreas/spleen etc. However, after a

Horrible day today!
Following a full hysterectomy I had 6 sessions of
carboplatin
and taxol to blast a few 'floating' cells. I went into remission at the end of February this year with a CA125 of 7 and a clear CT scan.

Auto-immune reaction to chemo, like arthritis
I'd had 5 lots of
carboplatin
, but the only 3 of paclitaxol because of peripheral neuropathy. After the chemo had finished I started having problems with my hands - stiffness & pain in my fingers - which make it really difficult to do lots of ordinary day to day tasks.

My hair is getting very thin.
Thinning hair started two months after finishing six treatments of
Carboplatin
. I was also hospitalised for a week, six days after last treatment, with pneumonia. Has anyone experienced this and hopefully does it start to grow back?

Tingling in hands and feet with Carboplatin?
She is having
Carboplatin
...no side effects the first time, but this time she has fairly constant pins and needles in her hands and feet. She was barely sleeping anyway, but this has put paid to sleep, so if anyone has any advice, it would be gratefully received.

35 yr old with spread to omentum-scared
Im due to start 3 cycles of taxol/
carboplatin
on the 2nd Dec then I will have a ct scan to assess, they will then either do surgery or 3 more lots of chemo. My CA125 is at 91 and she said that she'd have expected to see it in the thousands.

Aches and pains cropping up all over the place after finishing third chemo x 6 in July
Over a 5 year period I had two lots of 6 x
carboplatin
/taxol which were effective both times, although I was left with neuropathy in my feet.

Taxol
Hi, On second cycle of Paclotaxel/
Carboplatin
for PPC after 7 months clear. started having bad reaction to Carbo so they have stopped it. Recent scan showed that the Paxol seems to be working on its own.

My Avastin isn't working any more
Hi Ladies, Over the past 8 months my cancer marker has been slowing increasing and despite a change in chemotherapy adding
Carboplatin
to my Avastin, it is still rising.
