Experiences with

Chemotherapy

I had my debaulking operation followed by Chemotherapy which was Carboplatin/Paclitaxel and was in remission for almost 2 years.

I had my first two chemotherapy sessions in early March, the second two had to be delayed due to diverticulitis caused by my immunotherapy I had in September. I was admitted to Christie's over Easter to resolve the diverticulitis.

6 rounds of Taxotere + carboplatin. MO oposses to icing extremities/head as it does not permit the chemo to reach those places.Will try to chew some ice to avoid stomatitis / taste issues. Will keep you posted Good luck and good health to all

After 8 doses of Docetaxel & 3 of Carboplatin, my partner has had two painful bouts of gout. He watches his diet carefully (pretty much has eliminated red meat & alcohol). is there a connection with chemo & gout? Despite asking his PP and MO, neither mentioned any. He did find something in clinical

I had 3 rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a surgery and again 3 rounds of chemotherapy. Last chemo was completed on 24.1.22. On 25.1.22 CA 125 was 3.7. On 2.5.22, my CA 125 was 130 and on 11.5.22 CA 125 was found to be 371. I had a PET CT on 9.5.22 which is very clear.

This is just a quick post to let you know that I am now in Southampton Hospital and have had my first lot of chemotherapy. This is debulking chemotherapy, separate from the conditioning chemo which will happen just before the transplant. It's going to be a long haul but I know I'm in good hands.

Hi all Have you experienced numbness, tingling or pain to your hands and feet after chemotherapy?

I had a telephone consultation with my SCT consultant today to talk about my preliminary debulking chemotherapy. I will probably be admitted in about three weeks. There will be eight days of chemotherapy, followed by three or four weeks for my counts to recover.

My starting chemotherapy has been put on hold for now.

On March 4th, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Opdivo (nivolumab) for treatment before surgery in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with stage IB to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

I'm now due to have chemotherapy to start next week. Has anyone else had breast cancer/chemotherapy and ongoing. If so, how have you dealt with the treatments, Lupus and also importantly, the limited contact and medical services due to covid. Comments and advice appreciated.

They will want to let the chemotherapy wash out of my system. I don’t completely understand why since combination treatments often work. I am apprehensive about a treatment vacation because I feel like no treatment will allow cancer to gain momentum. GO EAGLES! Philly13
