Update
She suggested stopping treatment but after a few tears (mine, not hers) she agreed that I can try three-weekly
carboplatin
with the Care Oncology Clinic drug regime. I am hoping that the C.O.C. drugs might make the
carboplatin
effective again.

Chemo before surgery
I've had 8 rounds of chemo -
carboplatin
and taxol and have 1 more on Monday. I have surgery on July 26th. Has anyone else had rounds of chemo before surgery?

Sulphur burbs
Hello ladies, I had my second round of taxol/
carboplatin
. The sulphur burps started yesterday evening, and still going strong at 5:45 next morning. I am on nexium but it's not doing any good for this complaint. Did any of you suffer from this and what did you take to relieve it?

Caelyx next
Having reacted to
carboplatin
and having had 6 rounds of cisplatin, I am to start caelyx next week. So any experience or advice would be useful. I did read up on it a while ago and it seems that some women sail through with few effects while some have severe side effects.

Hi I'm new here...
Hi I'm new here I was diagnosed with stage 3 oc 2 weeks before Christmas I had an emergency ileostomy on Christmas Eve I have been on chemo (
carboplatin
& paclitaxel ) and I am about to start Avastin so fingers crossed this helps me.

Hitting a new low
She is suggesting
Carboplatin
and Caelyx to start whenever I "feel like it". I don't understand. I feel so well with no symptoms. I want to howl and howl and howl. I've done everything I can over the last 2 years to put the cancer behind me and here we are again.

Avastin
Following 6 sessions of
Carboplatin
and Taxol, my CA 125 dropped from 629.8 to 11.2. Debulking in 2 weeks and thereafter my oncologist says I will not need further chemo unless the cancer returns.

3rd bash at controlling OC
However, I stated 2nd Chemo of Gemcarbo/
Carboplatin
which lasted all of 2 sessions because it wasn't working, the jolly old CA 125 skyrocketed.

Port a cath query
It's 6 cycles of
carboplatin
only so once every 3 weeks but weekly bloods. My question is with regards to removal of the devise. I woukd like to have it removed when finished as I don't need the constant reminder nor do I plan to have a recurrence😂.

Reached the end of the Rainbow!
Fyi, she had debulking with hipec, followed by six cycles of IV chemo (
carboplatin
and paclitaxel) together with intra peritoneal chemo (paclitaxel). In retrospect, appears it wasn't a bad idea after all to expose her to such hard and harsh regimen of treatment.

Advice please
She is starting chemo on Thurs and the plan is 3 rounds of chemo (
carboplatin
and Taxol) then possible surgery followed by 3 more rounds of chemo. We've been told the scan after the first 3 rounds will determine whether surgery is possible.

Confused about Avastin
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 3 c in January 2015, had three cycles of
carboplatin
/ Cyclophosphane, surgery, then again four cycles of
carboplatin
/ Cyclophosphane. Finished my treatment in June 2015 and feeling fine.
