Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had Taxol/
Carboplatin
(+ a few cycles of Avastin), Caelyx/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly Taxol?

Going for second opinion at Royal Marsden
Hello all I've decided to go for a consultation at the R M Hospital, because I just don't feel that my second line treatment (
Carboplatin
/paclitaxel) which is exactly the same as my first line treatment ( which gave me remission of only 2 months) should be my only option.

Very nervous, starting Chemo Wednesday, May 4th
I have an appt. with her Tuesday to discuss my results & then she has me starting chemo (taxol/
carboplatin

Dreading Caelyx ( and future in general)
I started 3rd line chemo with
carboplatin
/caelyx eight weeks ago. I never got to the 2nd cycle because all hell broke loose in my bowels.

Newly diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer
I will be on Taxol/
carboplatin
. Looking for any advice from anyone starting on this type chemo. Is the first round tough, does it get worse as far as side effects with each round. I have a treatment every 21 days. They won't know the stage of the cancer until they take lymph nodes/biopsies.

Problems with caelyx
I have severe and almost constant diarrhoea after cycle one of
carboplatin
/caelyx. I don't think I can go on like this. I just move from bed to the sofa and back. My oncologist says there is no plan B and that if I can't tolerate it they will consider just treating the symptoms. Please.

Severe allergic reaction to paclitoxel
A week after I was given
carboplatin
on its own, as I was getting anxious about a monster growing inside me without a slight attempt to be stopped. That one was fine. My second chemo is scheduled in two week time and docetaxel (taxotere) will be used along with
carboplatin
.

Treatment Review
As I have been having chemo since September firstly
carboplatin
which did not work then on to weekly Taxol which I had an allergic reaction with the 2nd. I am going to have a break to give my body a bit of recovery time .She has put me on Tamaxofen to see if it will help with a review in a month.

Neuropathy info please
I'm beginning to develop neuropathy after the second dose of cisplatin (swopped to that due to
carboplatin
allergy). As walking and knitting are two of my main activities and part of my social life I'm worried about this.

Ct scan and subcentimeter hydrodensities
Hi I had my first ct scan after having 6 rounds of
carboplatin
/taxol. My scan came back good but they said at the dome of my liver is 2 subcentimeter hydrodensities. They said it was too small for cross sectional imaging. They think it may be small cysts. Anyone have something similar to this?

Tumour has grown!
She has had 3 gruelling rounds of
carboplatin
& pemetrexed for her stage IV NSCLC. We were delivered the blow on Friday that the chemo hasn't helped at all & the lung tumour has grown quite a bit. We are devastated that it hasn't helped & we're really confident it would at least be stable.

Carboplatin/caelyx information
I am about to start 3rd line with
carboplatin
/caelyx and am in one of those"Oh no! I just can't do this again" moods. I have looked up the Macmillan site and scared myself silly.

Keep getting upset
Had my forth cycle (taxol/
carboplatin
) two weeks ago and I've found this to be my worst treatment. Had another urine infection, twinges around tummy area and can't stop crying. Is this all to do with the chemo and has any of you lovely ladies had this problem? l'm dreading next week (fifth cycle)

Bladder problems post chemo
are about to be investigated ,I think it was the
carboplatin
that has caused the problem.

Sickness
Had my 3rd cycle of taxol/
carboplatin
on Wednesday and still feeling sick. Taking ondansetron twice a day plus metoclopradamide if needed. Was prescribed a quarter of a tablet at night of levomepromazine but found I was having bad dreams, so I stopped taking them..

finished the six rounds, what is common for long term side effects after the carboplatin and paklotaxal... stomach pain and evening yuckines
Hi there, so cervical cancer tumor is gone after stage 4 diagnosis... expect it will return from what the doctors tell me. I am just not sure what to be watching for when I feel what I think are long term side effects of chemo. Stomach pains, slight indigestion and loss of appetite, heavy legs and

Bloating again
Hi all I finished 7 sessions of Taxol/
Carboplatin
(with Avastin added on last 3) on December 3d and have had two infusions of Avastin only since. I've had some discomfort/pain and bloating in my abdomen and had a scan last Thursday.
