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?

BRCA2 mutation and PARP inhibitor in the castration sensitive
From the thread, and in another prostate cancer newsletter,
carboplatin
+ docetaxel have been suggested beneficial for men with DNA-repair defects. However there does not seem to be the volume of evidence as is the case for PARP inhibitors and the studies are on the castration resistant only.

Blood Transfusion?
The chemotherapy I'm on,
carboplatin
, is apparently notorious for causing anemia. Since I'm already anemic, my RBG has dropped to the lowest it's ever been (for me). I've tried IV iron and arinesp, an EPO like shot, and neither has boosted my counts.

Now have small cell prostate cancer
Started cabazitaxcel with
carboplatin
. Psa was at 78. First infusion was Monday. Looking at not so good news on mean survival rates. So what have we seen on trials? My MO is working all channels. So far just lymph glands, no liver or lung invasion.

Another Crazy Day
The CSN who rang whilst I was in A&E said it wasn't as bad as it sounds and the
Carboplatin
will help reduce the tumours. I have a face to face appointment with the oncologist March 26th and starting chemo again March 30th, which is much sooner than expected.

Total combat
At my current state of knowledge this means combining ADT (transdermal estrogen) with chemo (Jevtana or Docetaxel) as well as
Carboplatin
, plus second-line hormonal therapy perhaps Zytiga plus a PARP inhibitor since I have a BRCA2 mutation. Possibly low-dose Bicalutamid too.

Next steps on recurrence
Diagnosed PPC Stage 3c Nov 19, finished first line chemo just
Carboplatin
(reaction to Taxol after 1 session) last May. Full debulking surgery in March, NED in June, as BRCA1 went straight onto Olaparib.

Carboplatin
. An unrelated breast mass was found with axilla lymph node spread. Mastectomy and node clearance 3 weeks ago..

Neuropathic pain in the limbs and neck
Had surgery and chemo -
Carboplatin
and Paclitaxel. Now I'm on Bevacizumab. Next mount will be the last infusion. I have pain in my limbs and neck for months now. Sometimes I don't have the strength to stand on my feet. I can't bend my head to the sides.
