Olaparib side effects, or is the bugger back?
Started Olaparib 8 weeks ago after finishing third line of
Gemzar
/ carbo. In the last two weeks I've really started to experience a lot of acid, bloating, pain in tummy, under ribs and back.

Has anyone experienced Hair Loss with Zejula?
Have already been thru Taxol/Carbo after surgery the 1st time, then
Gemzar
/Carbo after surgery the 2nd time followed with Avastin till my kidneys couldn't take that anymore. So I have already been down that road of wigs & hats, hoping not to go there again.

Guidance (Caelyx & Maintenance)
However, my Mum underwent a CT scan and it showed that there is no change since her first CT scan in January 2018, she has a tiny cyst on the liver, cyst on the left kidney, mild acititis, peritoneal nodules representing carcinosis, and the doctor said he would continue with either
Gemzar
or Caelyx but

Olaparib question please?
Hello ladies, I have been told I can start Olaparib now that I have finished third line treatment, I completed 20 weeks of Carbo /
Gemzar
Feb 8th. How long did you ladies who are on this drug wait to get started on it? I'm a little anxious as its been a few weeks now.

CA 125 was going down nicely, then it went up-Carbo Gemzar Avastin
My CA 125 dropped a lot when I started Carbo
Gemzar
, then it started going up again. The we added Avastin and it's been going down well, and now this. What am I to think. Of coure it's the weekend and the doc isn't in.

Feeling a little scared
Taxol/Avastin, Doxil,
Gemzar
, and now onto Pemetrexed. Each time it seems to be a shorter time before I start feeling signs that the cancer is growing. I am staying positive but feeling like I wish I could do more to fight this. Has anyone else gone through this many chemos and still doing ok?

Ca125 rise after chemo & before Olaparib!
I had third line treatment finish Feb 8th (
Gemzar
/ Carbo) Ca125 down to 1340 from a start point of 3987. Had scan Feb 14th & it showed no further growth on the tumours and on a couple actually shrunk so I was really pleased & was put on Olaparib.

Side Effects of Carbo/Gemzar/Avastin
Hello all. I am starting these three on Monday. I am trying to get an idea of how bad the side effects will be. I work full-time and trying to figure out what I will or won’t be able to do. Also, how long after is Avastin given for maintenance? Thank you everyone.

Carboplatin reactions on 6th session
I get
Gemzar
day 1 and 8 (due to an anaphylaxis reaction to Taxol at 2 drops on my first session with that). I also get carboplatin on day 1 only of each session. QUESTIONS: *Have any of you had that occur? *Do you know others that had reactions any session time after 4 or 5 sessions?

My daughter gets frustrated with me. Am I wrong?
I had an anaphylaxic reaction with Taxol 2 drops into my first session and had to switch to
Gemzar
with carboplatin. Now I mentioned session 6 , and she said she wishes she hadn't told me. She is frustrated. Am I wrong to be having these concerns?

Starting a new chemo drug
I then was on
gemzar

First Doxil didn't work, then Carbo Gemzar didn't work
He is going to try Avastin with the Carbo
Gemzar
which he says will most likely work. This has me scared. I don't know what this means. Has anyone else had this problem? I am also nervous about Avastin. I know a lot of people here take it with Carbo
Gemzar
and I would appreciate any feedback.

Gemzar
My cancer was diagnosed on March 30, 2014 This past Thursday I started a new IV chemo with
Gemzar
and Herceptin. Has anyone been on
Gemzar
? Was it successful in slowing down your cancer? I have had flu like symptoms since Thursday and TERRIBLE headaches plus I have been so sleepy and exhausted.

Possibly back, but relieved for now
Her doctor said if/when there's a recurrence she'll treat her with Carboplatin/
Gemzar
and Avastin. Has anyone had this particular combo for a 2nd line treatment? It seems uncommon compared to using Carbo/Caelyx or Carbo/Taxol. Thanks, Michael

Gemzar/Gemcitabine--Any Information?
Hi Friends: Just found out yesterday I don't qualify for Keytruda. I have been given two choices. Try another chemotherapy medicine (name above) or accept fact that it is time to say adios. Doctor said it much nicer. I hated last chemotherapy as it ruined my quality of life. So that is why I am

Doxil not working, Gemzar next-and now bleeding?
My doc says I should switch to Carbo
Gemzar
. (We used Caris Molecular Intelligence.com to determine the best and the results just arrived as Carbo-
Gemzar
). I have been tolerating Doxil perfectly, no hand mouth syndrome or anything. No side effects.

If I’m Not Nuts By Now
In fact, I just finished my 8th round of
Gemzar
today. While still on serious chemo treatments, I am receiving dialysis 3x weekly in addition to about 14 blood transfusions since my kidneys have failed.
