cisplatin
which ended in April 2018 I was on avastin for maintenance, my Ca125 started to rise and I had a ct scan in September that showed disease progression I went back to the oncologist and, he said I was platinum resistant while I know this is technically the issue I went to a private hospital and offered

Dexamethasone tremor & confusion
I am taking this at infusion with
cisplatin
and gemcitabine but not as follow on as in first line I experienced a manic depressive episode which is identified as a steroid side effect if you have bipolar in your family (I do).

Fluids, blood transfusion and CA125
I was supposed to have
cisplatin
yesterday but had fluids instead. I’ve got to go next week for a blood transfusion. Then hopefully I can have that horrible
cisplatin
. My CA125 is now 700. It’s gone from 4000 to 2000 and now 700 so I’m pleased about that.

Battling ovarian cancer (recurrance)
This time it is
cisplatin
and gemcitabine, with Avastin thrown in recently too. I am about half way through the second round of chemo, but my CA125 is not going down.

In, out... in, ?
At that point I got very upset as I needed to ask questions and sign consent forms for new treatment of
cisplatin
and gemcitabine at 8.30 appt next day. Registrar and Ward doc came then and next day two from team came and got paperwork done.

Cisplatin and gemcitabine side effects- any thoughts please?
Hi everyone I have just had my first
cisplatin
and gemcitabine treatment and am hesitant about doing the next this Friday as the side effects have been awful. Nausea and the headache from hell so I didn't want to move.

[Update] Ovarian Cancer Stage III, no improvement with Chemotherapy
Yesterday’s recent Scan (CA 125) also doesn’t shows any improvement, so it has gone up again from 17 to 90, it scares me a lot and as per doctors Chemo doesn’t works most of the time when it’s Low Grade Serous Carcinoma, I don’t know what to do now :( Doctors are giving (injections) Bevetix 180 MG and
Cisplatin

Netupitant - any experiences?
Hi everyone, as ondansetron didn't do the trick for me with nausea on my first
cisplatin
and gemcitabine treatment, I have now been prescribed netupitant. Does any have experience of this drug please?

Seeking Cisplatin advice
I’m currently two thirds through a three weekly regime of six
cisplatin
and taxol. The fourth dose floored me, left me so tired and weak that I spent five days in bed, only getting up to stagger a couple of paces to the loo. Has anyone else found
cisplatin
this hard?

I’m still here
Hoping kidneys are ok as can continue with
cisplatin
and gem. Struggling with
cisplatin
though. I feel it’s killing me. Feel like I ve got full blown flu while running a marathon then getting hit by a train. It’s brutal. Makes me cry. Horrible chemo but it seemed to half my CA125 number.

My cancer has morphed to treatment-emergent small-cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
I've recently been through 5 fractions of Cyberknife treatment (maybe more to follow) and my medical oncologist has put me on a new chemo regime of
cisplatin
and etoposide, hoping to get some local control. I have completed the first of four rounds.

My first post but sad news
She then had
cisplatin
, but that caused her to collapse, and when they scanned her lungs, they found blood clots as a result of her chest drains. Weekly Taxol again helped, until around April of this year, she had pockets of fluid on her lungs which couldn’t be drained safely.

Ride to Conquer Cancer - Perth 2018
I did 3 days of chemo (
Cisplatin
+ Etoposide) just before the event, but I managed to ride 42km on day1 (out of 100km) and just the last 1km on day2 (the weather was terribly cold and wet and I didn't want to risk getting a chest infection).

Ascites. Permanent drain.
I’ll be having
cisplatin
and gem. Fingers crossed I can tolerate the
cisplatin
as I can’t have carboplatin. Has anyone else had these two chemos? My consultant says they’re harsh. Hoping all you ladies are all doing ok xxxx

Thinking
As you are all aware I have been hospitalised twice with infection these past two weeks, oncologist said no chemo this week due to inflammation marker still a bit high, but we will start
Cisplatin
next week.

I’m scared.
Cisplatin
and gem. I was being sick which is normal for me at the moment. Mid afternoon I started vomiting ground coffee vomit. Lots of times. At the end of chemo they said go to A&E. I’m back in hospital. Endoscopy showed my stomach has basically been shut off by the cancer pushing on it.
