cisplatin
Hi, I was on Carboplatin, Avastin and Zem, but I got an allergic reaction from Carboplatin. My oncologist told me he will replace Carboplatin with Cisplarin for my 5 session. I am wondering if someone has been on Cisplatin and what’s yours experience with Cisplatin?

Consider the options?
Post total hysterectomy, etc., one cycle of carboplatin (couldn't tolerate paclitaxel) and now on Avastin i/v and Olaparib. CA 9, which is fantastic. Side effects are just destroying me. I am 80, the Olaparib goes through to mid June 2026 and the Avastin finishes at the end of this year. Oncologist

Not sure how to help/plan
Hi all, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but felt like typing this might somehow make something better. I'm late 30s, single, only child, single parent, no other family left alive. My mum was diagnosed with stage 4B ovarian last August. She's done chemo (CA 125 down to 6), and debulking.

Hair, brows and eyelashes!
Hi All! I was diagnosed in Nov of 2022 with stage 4b lung cancer and later, in May of 2023 with ovarian cancer. Not a metastisis but a second primary cancer. I’ve been a runner my whole life - almost 60 - and have lived a pretty “clean” life. So…all of this was pretty crazy. I had to go off the targeted

Clear Cell Progression
Here is an update on my treatment for ovarian clear cell carcinoma, which I guess has now moved into Stage IV (started 1a). My taxol/carboplatin & Avastin chemotherapy treatment was discontinued after 3 infusions, as CT scan showed progression of tumors, and invasion into my liver. The doctors at UCSF

immunotherapy for OVCA
just wanted to provide an update on using immunotherapy, in my case Opdivo and Yervoy. Some background: 6 years after my initial diagnosis of OVCA, it was discovered via a raised CA125 and subsequent CT Scan, that I had developed 3 tumors on my Psoas muscle of my back. These were classified as ovarian

GemCarbo and picc line advice please!
Hi ladies, I've seen my oncologist today (well, one of his minions anyway) to find out about my treatment plan for my first recurrence. They've told me that I'll have gemcitabine with carboplatin this time round, so I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about this regime please? Even though carbotaxol

4th round chemo worse since surgery, started feeling sick & stomach pains 😫
Hello lovely ladies I had 3 rounds of chemo along with Avastin & although I had many side effects, I was fortunate that sickness/nausea wasn't one of them. 5 weeks post interval surgery, I had round 4 (no Avastin this round) but tummy issues (swinging from diarrhea to constipation constantly) and nausea

Recurrence :(
Hi ladies,I haven't posted on here for a while, but I've just found out that my cancer has come back. I was initially diagnosed in October 2021 with stage 4 HGSOC and had 6 rounds of carbotaxol with a total abdominal hysterectomy and omentectomy after the 3rd cycle. I then went on to Olaparib, initially

Ascites coming back,primary peritoneal
Hi everyone. I was hoping I could ask for some information. For a bit of background, I am supporting my Mum (76) who was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer almost two years ago after ascites discovered and drain needed. Initially thought was stage 3c and as it had affected a lymph node it was then

conflict of opinion
So, following my last scan, the radiographer says progressive disease, MDT say stable. Any observations please or anyone had similar experience? Am on Avastin and Olaparib. My CA125 is slowly decreasing but I am still somewhat concerned by the differing opinions x
