Now that we know it started as high grade serous epithelial, I am being offered single agent chemo, specifically,
Carboplatin

Metastatic prostate cancer
They have included syberknife, xytegia, xtandi,taxotere,xofigo,and now cabazitnxel(jevtana) with
carboplatin
. I don’t know if there is anything else that can be done. Is there any one else out there in the same situation and if so what are you doing?

Peritoneal Carcinoma
I did 6 rounds of
Carboplatin
/Taxol the first two times and currently on
Carboplatin
/Doxil for six rounds with 2 more to go. I am in desperate need of support. I am trying to stay strong, positive, and taking each day as it comes. I am trying so hard not to give up hope and keep the faith.

Would Carboplatin help with liver mets that are not neuroendocrine?
My dad has stage 4 prostate cancer with liver, lung and pelvic bone mets. Tried Jevtana recently and did not help at all and cancer worsened so it was stopped after 2 cycles. Started keytruda a couple weeks ago since prostate biopsy showed MSI-H. Recently got a liver biopsy that showed prostate adenocarcinoma

First days after Chemo
I had my first dose of
Carboplatin
on Thursday and so far not feeling too bad. I had
Carboplatin
/Taxol last time. Can I expect less side effects on Just
Carboplatin
?

Chemo postponement
Hi All, Mike started Cabazitaxel /
carboplatin
in August. After 2 cycles his platelets dropped to 40 and he was not able to take his next round. After 2 weeks off his platelets are still hanging out in the 40s. Does anyone know what happens when chemo patients platelets don’t rise?

Vision Trial or Xtandi ????
After 4 sessions of Docetaxel &
Carboplatin
combo I had to quit. Too many side effects and started a terrible rash all over. That was 4 weeks ago. Dr. appointment today after a MRI and blood test on Monday. Mets are still there and PSA has risen.

He will be on
carboplatin
, Alimta, and keytruda. How has keytruda worked for you? I wasn’t able to take it and just would like to hear from others with experience with this.

Still can’t eat
(T3N2Mx) She has a NG feeding tube since end if may as she couldn’t swallow anything at all and has had 1 cycle of flot chemo which unfortunately gave her a heart attack so chemo changed to
carboplatin
and Paclitaxel, which she has had 2 cycles of.

KRAS experience?
I just started on
carboplatin
, Alimta and Keytruda. I have a KRAS variant but no other biomarkers. I'm 69 and in excellent health other than the cancer and being overweight. Drs. keep remarking on how healthy my lungs sound 🤪.

Hope
(
Carboplatin
and Taxol combo) Ryan is doing fairly well. He has some achy joints and muscles. Unfortunately so much so that he has been taking a low dose pain med. tolerable once it kicks in and he can carry on life as normal. He feels fine otherwise which is great.

Jevtana and carboplatin combo..where to go after
My dad is now going through combo chemo (jevtana and
carboplatin
). Has anyone else experienced this and if so was it positive? Dad is having a lot of pain and just weak with it. We expected the weakness but not so much the pain.

Treatment for mets to the liver - has anyone heard about this?
My Dr is going to use cabazitaxel and
carboplatin
to treat me. 3 rounds, 1 shot once every weeks - total 3 rounds - taking scans along the way.. Has anyone heard of this combo, used it? Dr tells me it more aggressive and less likely to have really bad side effects -- loss of hair, fatigue.

Carboplatin working well for liver
Just wanted to post an update on my dad's experience of
carboplatin
chemo in case it is useful to anyone in a similar position. In April scans showed that his cancer had moved into his liver, too small to do a biopsy at that stage but within a few weeks it had progressed very quickly.

Sticky eyes on chemo
Hi My husband has now had his 6th course of
Carboplatin
and Pemetrexed and is due to carry on with maintenance Pemetrexed. He started to get sticky eyes (not infected) from about course 3. It has got steadily worse, especially when he wakes in the morning.

Xtandi while on Chemo is working Well
Began my 3rd round of chemo 3 weeks ago with same combo of Docetaxel/
Carboplatin
as the prior 12 infusions. This time Med Onc suggested we continue Xtandi, which had been used on a rechallenge basis after the prior 2 rounds of chemo, but NEVER during chemo. Results were impressive.

Chemo done after 4 infusions
It's been a rough go on Docetaxel and
Carboplatin
. Ended up in the hospital twice after infusions, pneumonia and then a high fever/rash. Now new rash all over is terrible, so Dr. decided to give me a break after 4 infusions and call it quits for the time being.

Weekly Taxol
Hi I am on weekly Taxol after
Carboplatin
did not work. I have done 5 infusions but I have lost my appetite and this weekend I had the shakes which was unpleasant. Has anyone encountered this. I feel as though I am going backwards although my CA125 level has come down from over 1000 to 275.

Liver/lung metastasis and carboplatin
I see people have been on
carboplatin
and taxotere. Is there evidence it helps? And is the combo standard for liver/lung metastasis? Edited - I meant

Weekly Taxol and steroids
I remember when I first had chemo (
carboplatin
and taxetere), I had to take them. This time around they didn't give me any and just doubled the dose prior to administering the taxol. I feel like total crap and I don't remember feeling quite so bad right out of the shoot.
