Help and advice please? I'm new here!
The chemo regime has been
Carboplatin
, Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab every 3 weeks. She has been at home for 5 weeks now but has been quite poorly throughout with only a couple of days where she felt slightly back to normal although she has tried to stay positive and fight it.

Failed Debulking Surgery
These three sessions of chemo are dose dense
Carboplatin
/Paclitaxel. I have ongoing issues with constipation, probable related to motility issues from all the adhesions and the tumor positions.

Allergic Reaction to Carboplatin
Taxol And
Carboplatin
. Fifteen minutes before completion, I went into anaphylactic shock. Dr. said I could not have
Carboplatin
again. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you use on recurrence? That's what scares me, what are my next options going to be?

Avastin maintenance dose
I am on arm 3 of the Icon 8b trial and have had weekly Paclitaxel and 3 weekly
Carboplatin
and Avastin. At my onc appointment on Thursday I was told that I had to stay out of the sun as my skin was likely to blister.

NED after diagnosis from Stage 4 Extensive SCLC on Nov 11 2016
I had 4 rounds of
Carboplatin
and Etoposide beginning Dec 27 2016 and ending on March 2 2017. I was given a dismal outcome and even though I know my type of lung cancer responds well to chemo my oncologist and researchers are amazed at how fast and quick my tumors started to disappear.

Final update
My 2nd line treatment of
carboplatin
/Caelyx did not work. After 3 treatments the cancer has grown and has caused multiple bowel obstructions. I was offered weekly taxol and told this would have a 50% chance of bringing some relief but would be unlikely to resolve the bowel obstructions. I declined.

Prayers for dads upcoming scans
He has been on a dose of
carboplatin
for the last month or so. He now has scans to see how the cancer is responding or if it's progressing. From there, the doctor will most likely be going over more details on the clinical trial they want him to start.

There is light at the end of the tunnel
I underwent the usual chemo but
carboplatin
only, I couldn't have paclitaxol with it due to a congenital heart defect. I had debunking surgery after the third chemo. I was given 2 to 2.5 years to live when diagnosed. In July 2015 I was NED and have had blood tests every three months since.

Nearly a year post chemo
I had 6 cycles of Docataxel,
Carboplatin
and Herceptin and with added Pertuzumab at cycle 2. I then had bilateral mastectomy and lymph node clearance left axilla. That is all fine. All healed up and no problem. I am continuing on the Herceptin and Pertuzumab every 3 weeks.

Confirmed papillary serous carcinoma Stage 4B
Start chemo seven cycles of 21days, Day 1
Carboplatin
and Paclitaxel( Taxol) then 20 days and the next cycle starts. Side effects explained think I might get a wig as hair loss is almost certain. Otherwise onward and upwards and lets get this show started!

stage 4 treatment From Holly
There is reluctance to continue treatment although it has been suggested that one chemo without
carboplatin
could be tried as I am resistant to
carboplatin
, known as 'platinum refactory' although 'response rates from subsequent standard therapies are low' .
