First reoccurrence
She is talking about either carboplatin and paclitaxel again or carboplatin and
gemcitabine
. If you’ve been in this position can you tell me which one was best in your opinion. Does this mean that it will never go away or is it possible to be NED again.

Laura Update - No More Chemo - On to Letrozole
All the Chemo drugs I wanted,
Gemcitabine
or Caelyx are excreted through the liver, so, as I have had no success with Carboplatin or Taxol, there was no Chemo for me. Naturally, I was devastated. Instead, I am now in Hormone Therapy, as my cancer tested positive for Oestrogen.

Gemcitabine (Gemzar) - Your experience??
So, knowing I react poorly to Taxol, he’s recommending
gemcitabine
infusions. Reading paper specifics are one thing- hearing your experiences are quite another. I’d be grateful for any who can share their experience on this chemo.

Carbo, Gem, Covid and Laura
I only just started my long awaited Chemo treatment of Carboplatin and
Gemcitabine
2 weeks ago Friday. The following Friday I had the second part of the treatment, which was
Gemcitabine
by itself. The first week, I suffered from a belly ache and nausea and could hardly eat at all.

No Dice - Back to Bath for Laura
It will be Carboplatin and
Gemcitabine
. Anyone with experience with this combo, please let me know. We still had a gay time at the Marsden, a bit tearfu, but we managed to have a last fabulous lunch at Cafe Roma, and with no more infusions, we got home early. So.

Here we go again - again!!
So I have to see my team on 31st and will be starting chemo (probably Carboplatin and
gemcitabine
- any advice welcome) in the New Year. My CA125 is now 908, but it’s never been very low - 1800 before I started taxol!

BCG and Gemcitabine Treatments
What would you DO and what is the right thing to DO with my Bladder Cancer, wait until the BCG treatment becomes available and that’s due to shortage or just proceed with the
Gemcitabine
Chemotherapy treatment?

The b****** is back
They want me to try
gemcitabine
and carboplatin. I was surprised because I assumed that I was carbo resistant since I had recurred within 5 months. They think it's worth a shot. They have also suggested I take letrozole when I start to feel stronger.

CA-125
I just finished a 6 month series of
gemcitabine
and carbo. My oncologist was pleased that I could handle 6 sessions. I ended up having to be admitted to the hospital 3 different times because of the side effects.

Return to chemo
So, after only 4 months since the last chemo (cisplatin and
gemcitabine
) and on Avastin, i am back on chemo. It’s cisplatin and caelyx this time. Ca125 at 165, from 20 after finishing the chemo in January, and pet scan confirming bad news in the pelvic region.
