I need advice on managing chemo side effects for a stage four NSCLC patient
The dr at Penn got her on Keytruda, Alimta,
carboplatin
...which worked for 6 months. But her foundation one has no biomoarkers for targeted therapy. Monday she starts a very powerful, and thus deadly and rife with nasty side effects, chemo — taxane and Avastin and one other.

Carbo only side effects
This is
carboplatin
only. Anyone feel really bad on the day of treatment? I've got to come home on buses and trains , taking about an hour in all and if the general opinion is I'll feel crap/sick then I'll try and make other arrangements... Also is it advisable to eat before the appt or not?

Advice..please x
He has now had 3 rounds of
carboplatin
as the Consultant advised that NICE regulations mean you have to have platinum chemo in order to access other drugs further on. Nearly a year later, he remains pretty fit, has lost no weight etc.

Morning Ladies
Consultants thinks it’s the
Carboplatin
that’s to blame, so is talking about stopping the
Carboplatin
and just having the Caelyx. Just wondered if any of you ladies have been down this path, and did it make a difference? Thanks for any help. 😀

My hubbie was diagnosed in August 2016 (then aged 58 years and always been a non-smoker) and went onto chemotherapy (
carboplatin
and pemetrexed) for four sessions, then went onto maintenance pemetrexed until it stopped working in March of this year.

Thank you for your replies!
Although I still don’t know the cancer grade and have to wait to see my oncologist to get more info, I understand that having only 3 cycles of chemo (with
carboplatin
alone so I could go thru the process with less secondary effects) could be a possibility, which is helping me imagining a softer issue

The waiting game
Hi, diagnosed mid July with stage 3 ovarian cancer and had 7 months
carboplatin
and total hysterectomy. Was told there was still some cancer on the lining of the abdomen but CA 125 down from 2500 to 19. So now in the middle of a 3 month watch and wait. Wake up very day feeling anxious.

Mucinous 1c belt and braces treatment plan
Generally went as expected - we hope we've got it all in the surgery but due to the small spillage incident we suggest 6 cycles of
Carboplatin
only. No point in genetic tests, no statistics for overall survival or recurrance of this stage with or without treatment as it's too rare.

BRCA And Parp inhibitors
I was really hoping I might get similar from the Rucaparib, but you know, the roller coaster of ups and downs continues.😀 I think my MO, who is fantastic, is leaning towards
Carboplatin
, but would love to hear from anyone who is receiving treatments while is BRCA positive.
