Carbo Meltdown
As you know I was heading into cycle 2, 4th line, with carboplatin/
gemcitabine
and Avastin was to be added in shortly (again). Had a mildish reaction to carbo during cycle 1, so additional anti-histamines & anti-nausea added in for cycle 2.

The Carousel Journey Again
So, new regime began on Thurs with carboplatin and
gemcitabine
on day 1; on day 8 Gemzar and then 2 weeks 'free'. Avastin will be added in on cycle 2 or 3... Previously I was on carboplatin & taxol. For some reason, even though I had carbo without any allergic reaction - this time, I did.

Hair still falling out after carboplatin and Gemcitabine
After my second line chemo regime of carboplatin and
Gemcitabine
with Avastin ongoing I am still experiencing hair loss nearly two months after finishing the chemo. Is this normal??

IN CASE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO ANYONE.
The combination of
gemcitabine
and carboplatin with bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab maintenance showed a progression-free survival benefit over
gemcitabine
and carboplatin alone.

gemcitabine
/carboplatin plus the wonder drug Avastin, back in November 2013, after progression in the lymph nodes.

Cyclophosphamide
I could work through the approved menu first which would include weekly paclitaxel or
gemcitabine
. Or go for the trial if CT scan shows progression. I look forward to hearing from you. Maureen

I started carboplatin and
gemcitabine
with Avastin. I had a scan after 4 cycles because I was feeling really bloated and full. The scan showed a partial response no new growth and some minor shrinkage.

Started Chemo on the 24th of April
The pattern seems to be one session of ,
gemcitabine
and carboplatin) following week session of
gemcitabine
and 3rd week see oncologist. After 2 cycles , another scan and review. Initial experience was devastation, within minutes my world stopped turning.

CT scan shows significant increase in lymph nodes plus rising CA125. Planned 2nd round chemo end October.
Treatment will be carboplatin,
gemcitabine
plus the wonder drug Avastin. I know some ladies are or have received this concoction in the past so any advice welcome. I am just going to enjoy the next 5 weeks before the battle begins again. Very hard on my family at the moment. Stress levels high.

Next step of the journey
Previously have tried Avastin, Carboplatin,
Gemcitabine
& Pemetrexed. Unfortunately non of which have been successful. All hopes now on Abraxane. My oncologist certainly isn't giving up and seems to be throwing everything at me, although I'm led to believe this is our last hope.

Carboplatin and gemcitabine
Hi everyone. I'm not a frequent blogger, though I frequently access all the amazing insight and support from this site. So, here's my story. At 45, 6 and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with stage III high grade OC, despite having been under the doctor for the previous year with 'non-specific' symptoms
