Challenging time ahead
Due to my age and fitness levels the oncologist feels I will be able to cope with another form of chemotherapy using
Gemcitabine
and Carboplatin. I am now waiting for the telephone to ring so that the wheels can be set in motion. I cannot explain how afraid I am.

Chemo not working but starting another trial - anyone tried 6MP?
Had the results of CT scan after three cycles of Carboplatin/
Gemcitabine
. Unfortunately the chemo is not working as well as expected. Although my CA125 has gone down the tumours haven't shrunk.

Hi everyone - still here!
As soon as I stopped they started growing again so now lined up for 4th line chemo of carboplatin and
gemcitabine
. Hopefully this will reduce the buggers but if it only stops them growing well that's 6 months of no growth to look forward to.

Is it good to get a second opinion?
She has been having maintenance on avastin since her chemo finished in august 2012 (
gemcitabine
/cisplatin) but unfortunately she has been having a few tummy pains and a ca125 test has shown it has gone from 72 to 277.

Carbo with gemcitabine
Second a question: has anybody tried carboplatin with
gemcitabine
? What has your experience been? Positive, negative? Did it work? Any stories of remission? Thank you for all your help! Francesca

Don't despair when relapse occurs!
In 2011 I became resistant to Carboplatin so had Topotecan followed by
Gemcitabine
and from June 2012 had weekly Taxol.

Pancreatic Cancer Survivor
Treatment was 2 months
Gemcitabine
, followed by 30 days of very high levels of radiation concurrent with continuous infusion of 5fu, followed by 6 cycles of
Gemcitabine
. I continue to have regular maintenance chemo - a few months on a few months off.

Interested in finding more info on targeted chemo tablets, Iressa and Tarcevaa.
Our oncologist has recommended carboplatin/
gemcitabine
chemotherapy up to 4 cycles and might consider local radiotherapy, if there is a response to chemo.

Cisplatin & Gemcitabine what to expect? Any advice?
She will have 4 rounds of cisplatin &
gemcitabine
then hopefully tomo therapy. Has anyone had any experience with these? What side effects did you have? Wishing you all health & strength!

The jam jar is getting fuller!
The plan now is for ct scan just to confirm then see onc may 30th and commence carboplatrin and
Gemcitabine
. The oncologist feels I did well on carbolplatin with a 12 month remission so wants to use it again. She is such a gentle but upfront person who makes you feel more positive.

Help/Advice please on choice of treatment
Had carbo on its own last week, now have to decide whether to have carbo/
gemcitabine
to finish chemo sessions for this first line, then check later, or finish carbo and start on Avastin if possible. This would go on for months and has possible frightening side effects (but don't they all).
