No intensification - is doc too laid back?
Nor for treatments like docetaxel plus
carboplatin
, with the latter also holding particular promise for the BRCA 2 mutations.

Weekly Taxol
The
carboplatin
has stopped working but they are now suggesting weekly doses of paclitaxel. I am not curable so it will only be a case of keeping the cancer down. I haven’t had weekly chemo before and wondered how it works. Do you have to have a blood test every week as well as the chemo?

Chemo today.
I have had my third infusion of
Carboplatin
today. After the chemo finished my hand became very painful. I think this happened once before. I didn’t tell the chemo nurse as I thought it would go away. However it’s now going up for midnight and my hand is still very painful to touch.

My sister has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I'm new here so would appreciate any information given.
She is having paclitaxel and
carboplatin
. I was reading earlier of CA125 levels. Hers was 325. Is that high? It seems so to me. She shaved her head two weeks ago, and I have to say she looks fab. I can't tell you how proud I am of my sister, she's unbelievable.

What's next after my failure of ARV-110 trial
Am I missing out on having a proven effective treatment of
Carboplatin
+ Taxane/Docetaxel chemo, since I am BRCA2+, by going on to another trial instead? Next trial is possibly AC225 + Xtandi + Keytruda combo therapy.

Well the 12th cycle of
carboplatin

Mistletoe
Hello Ladies - I have recurrence and have gone through another 5 rounds of Taxol and
Carboplatin

How many lines of Carboplatin
Wondering how many lines generally before you become resistant. I have had two so far, partial response both times, 7 months between line 1 and 2,which is borderline for resistance isnt it ? Had surgery now but obviously going to have to carry on with chemo.

Any options left?
scheduled for 10, but scans at the 9th didn't show reduction in size. 4 months off. 3rd regiment:
Carboplatin
+ jevtana 3 infusion, scheduled for 6 but scans at the 3rd showed increase in size of tumor in liver so treatment was called off and now we are without a direction.

Ovarian cancer metastasis to liver.
Ca 125 went high, they started on mild
carboplatin
and gemsitabine. Now her sgpt and sgot has gone high. I am really scared. Is there anything to be afraid of. I am praying to god and I can’t see her in pain. It’s so hard.

Question about trials
She had radical surgery followed by
carboplatin
chemotherapy, which she completed 5-6 months ago. Now, 3 tumours have arisen in her abdomen. She has been told that surgery won't be possible. She has High grade Serous . She is BRACA negative.

Any input on Abraxane chemo?
If so, go to chemo in about September using Abraxane and
Carboplatin
. On Abiraterone, my side effects include swollen legs/feet, brain fog, fatigue, upper body mass loss, frequent urination every 2 hours (so no good sleep for months), hot flashes.

Pain similar to sinus trouble.
I have stage 4 lung cancer and have been having
carboplatin
chemotherapy and immunotherapy for the past 7 weeks. My bloods were very low a week ago so the treatment was delayed whilst I had 3 filigrastim injections which has got them back up.

Change in plans - looks like neuroendocrine
Neuro-endocrine cancer requires a completely different set of drugs than prostate cancer, so he is recommending that I start on a combination of chemotherapies (
carboplatin
and etoposide) as soon as possible. Reviewing the literature, especially Dr.

Chemo experience
I have seen that it is likely that I will have
carboplatin
and taxol. I am overwhelmed by the side effects and I am asthmatic, I see it can affect your breathing. What have everyone's experiences been? Should I be doing anything to prepare myself for what is to come?
