Low PSA, high metastasis, ready for chemo+
Eugene Kwon @ Mayo Clinic, have begun Eligard and I’m set to begin next week Taxotere +
Carboplatin
to try to get this under control (will do three rounds, and then scan to gauge impact). Will take a 2nd gen ADT, but not sure yet which one Kwon will prescribe.

Any input/advice please on radiotherapy post immunotherapy?
I started off with pemetrexed,
carboplatin
and pembrolizumab, then moved to maintenance pemetrexed and pembrolizumab, then pembrolizumab only at six weekly intervals during Covid. I’ve been on it ever since (private health insurance). It’s worked really well.

Update.
I had decided against any more chemo but my Macmillan nurse said it often dries up the fluid in the lungs so no drainage needed, so I'm booked in for gemcitabine and
Carboplatin
on monday I'm dreading it because I always get every side effect going.

Frustration
Hey there, I am a little frustrated about my current treatment - especially because it seems that none of you are or have been on this IV chemo alone (
Carboplatin
) like I am.....there is a lot of feedback on side effects etc on the ovarian cancer site and lots of feedback with it being used with other

HIPEC surgery and Avastin for one year any similar case?
As it came back in 8 spots in the peritoneum no surgery was possible did 6 rounds of
carboplatin
, gemzar and avastin, most of the cancer went away, there are 3 not measurable spots that may be or not cancer, very low metabolic activity.

Carboplatin
I've just come off the phone with my wife's nurse and she tells me that if my wife is suitable for treatment then it will be
carboplatin
once every three weeks. It's not a term I'm familiar with but I understand it is a form of chemotherapy given intravenously.

Weekly Taxol with or without Immunotherapy trial
By December '21 I was offered
carboplatin
and caelyx, but had a bad reaction to the Caelyx so I had just the
carboplatin
,, finishing end of March this year, to which I had a 'partial response'' which now classes me as platinum resistant.

Should I ask for a new assessment - fourth edition
I start on
carboplatin
and pemetrexed and hope I get another lucky break and it works. If it all goes to pot, at least I enjoyed the summer, thanks to the unusually successful sessions of palliative radiotherapy and will always be grateful for this unexpected bonus.

Taxol or carboplatin?
The oncologist is talking about starting me on weekly taxol, but I read that some women go on weekly
carboplatin
rather than taxol, and some on caelyx. Can anybody give any advice on which might be more effective please?

Thank you!
I’m off to see my oncologist tomorrow, I’m going to suggest that she lowers the dose on the
Carboplatin
this time. I also have a few other questions for her as well, thank to you guys. Hopefully I won’t have such horrid side effects this time. Keep your fingers crossed for me please!

Genetic counseling & testing
Just completed six rounds of docetaxel+
carboplatin
last week and will be seeing my doctor at Mayo on March 30 for further scans to gauge progress and evaluate next steps. Meanwhile, my oncologist at MN Oncology has recommended that I do genetic counseling and further genetic and tumor testing.
