Stage IV cancer recurrence
I will be starting
Cisplatin
and Gemzar along with the avastin that have been on. Is this just a waste time of time ? Do I really have a chance ? Has anyone Ben on these drugs? Is it as bad as taxol and carboplasin? Is there a chance for survival?

So far, so good
Did second dose of chemo ( only etoposide, steroids,zofran,) no
cisplatin
again for 3 weeks. No nausea or anything really bad so I feel pretty good about it. I felt a little bit fuzzy and tired when I woke up this morning so I'm kind of wondering if that will be worse in the morn .

Reclaiming my life. Where the process began.
My oncologists poison of choice was
cisplatin
and etoposide. I had 4 rounds of chemo and 30 rads treatments. It was indeed aggressive. And it kicked my patootie. Often,when thirsty, I would pick up my water bottle and fall asleep before it reached my mouth.

Good news!!!!!!!!
Any way so I'm doing that and getting my port installed tomarrow and start chemo Monday morning (
cisplatin
and etopiside), it will happen three days in a row then wait 3 weeks and go again. Radiation will start on 2nd or 3rd round of chemo. Fingers crossed MRI turns out clear!!!!

SCLC
I was diagnosed in August 2014, had 6 months of chemo (
Cisplatin
and Etoposide) definitely was no picnic. The tumors have shrunk. I go every 3 months for CT scan. Last one was last week and still shows no sign of tumor growth, still stable.

Neuropathy after chemo. Is there hope?
When initially discussing my chemo drug,
Cisplatin
, the pharmacist told us to look out for difficulty with buttons and picking up coins, and tingling and numbness in the toes and fingertips. It didn't seem to happen during chemo, thank goodness.

Platinum resistant anyone??
I did incredible on the taxol and
Cisplatin
. Cleaned me up good. Therefore not sure if these new cells are resistant to the taxol or
Cisplatin
. Changing up and starting a new chemo. CANCER is a chronic disease and will be treated as such.

Treating OC as a "Chronic Disease" How to Cope..
I already did 6 cycles of taxol and
Cisplatin
. Now I'll be starting Doxil and then next month Doxil/Avastin. My team told me this is a chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, etc.... I'm so scared. Can I be NED after treatment or will I live with hopes of "controlling" this disease???

Any new drug treatments I can ask the doctor about? Running low on options
It is also high grade, and is platinum resistant (platinum plus avastin lasted ALMOST 6 months, so it is classed as resistant even though
cisplatin
has been useful following that.

I had a full right lung lobectomy in 2007
I will say that I also had 16 weeks of
Cisplatin
and Navelbine chemo afterwards - the surgery was easier.

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Magnolia - magnolol - honokiol - obovatol - Relora
"Similar combination effects of obovatol with other chemotherapeutic agents (paclitaxel,
cisplatin
, and doxorubicin) on the inhibition of cell growth and NF-kappaB activity were also found.

Radical radiotherapy - any uplifting stories?
Mum was diagnosed at stage 3B and has started chemo (
Cisplatin
+ Vinorelbine). Been offered to add radical radiotherapy as a concurrent treatment - 33 sessions over 6.5 weeks. Onc seems pessimistic saying it's palliative (I can only assume because of the stage?)

Etoposide
I'm on stand alone treatment now as the
Cisplatin
infusion part of the Rotterdam treatment caused my ascites to build up massively (9 litres drained two day later). I'm now feeling horrendously sick and lethargic and can't get out of bed. Is this normal? Any encouragement welcome. Ruby X

Docetaxel and Nintedanib
M0) in May 2014 and since then have been treated initially with
Cisplatin
and vinorelbine plus radiotherapy which gave me a year of no evidence of disease. In December 2015 it returned and I was treated early this year with Carboplatin and something else which I've forgotten.

Indian summer as the chemo train approaches
The trial isn't quite ready and doc wants me to have conventional chemo before doing the trial, so I am now being offered
cisplatin
and etopiside. The
cisplatin
meant to be harsher, the etopiside is in tablet form for 2 weeks.
