Topotecan
Have just been told that
carboplatin
alone isn't working for me (previously had
carboplatin
and taxol which didn't work either) and that my CA125 is now 2000. Have been recommended to try Topotecan. Does anyone have any experience of trying this and what was outcome?

B B F C otherwise known as Bloody Bollocks to ####### Cancer.
I will be back on
Carboplatin
in a couple of weeks and my Onc is applying for Avastin which he seems confident of getting. I pleaded with him to tell me I will survive long enough to see my elder daughter married in 2013, but he side-stepped that question, as I knew he would.

Carboplatin and joint pain
My keyworker CNS tells me that these symptoms are not common from
carboplatin
alone. My GP has taken blood to test my thyroid but is at a bit of a loss.

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.

Round 2 starts tomorrow
Would love to hear from anyone who has had
carboplatin
and gemcitibine and what their experiences were and do you lose your hair with this combo. I would just like someone to tell me that I am not going mad and it is normal to ask the questions I will be asking my onc.

options after carboplatin and taxol
She was diagnosed in February 2009, had 3-weekly
carboplatin
, recurred in August 2010, had 3-weekly
carboplatin
again, recurred in May 2011 and started weekly taxol in November 2011. It doesn’t seem to have spread anywhere beyond the abdomen yet.

Weekly taxol
I have had taxol before with and without
carboplatin
on the three week regime and coped relatively okay but did get nerve pain with the taxol. Any insight will be helpful. Thanks Sue x

Good News!
Hi I'm a relatively new member to the website, having been diagnosed with OC 1C having surgery and 6 taxol/
carboplatin
treatments. Just had my first scan and they are all clear. The nurse gave me the results over the phone as I can't get to see my oncologist until 16 March.

Memory Lose
I'm only 50 and since I had my op in July last year and had 6 chemo taxol/
carboplatin
, which I finished at the end of Dec 2011, my memory has been terrible, people tell me things and I swear blind they didn't tell me.

Have been given a starting date
Apparently a trial has been conducted just using the drug with some favourable results, now they are combining it with
carboplatin
.

Just be told have got to have 2ndchemo again
I was wondering if anyone else has had
carboplatin
and gemcitabine ? I had taxol and
carboplatin
last year which was told had worked well but the oc has returned. Onc said I couldn't have taxol as it was under a year I was on it. Asked about avast in but told only for 1st line chemo.

THE REASON WHY I HAVE BEEN REFUSED AVASTIN - but it aint over yet folks
I am having my CA125 checked next Monday and if it has gone down I will just carry on with my next four
carboplatin
, if it has gone up I will have another scan, but for now it is business as usual.

Taxol
So, I'd be interested to know for future chemos if anyone has decided not to have the taxol and just gone with the
carboplatin
and if their oncolgists were okay about their decision. Cathy
