is falopian tube cancer the same as ovarian cancer?
She is know facing her 5th chemo of single
carboplatin
and is coping reasonably well apart from a very sore mouth. After her 3rd chemo her ca125 had dropped from baseline 1148 to 198, we get results of 4th chemo this week so hopefully will have dropped nicely again.

Not such good news today
I now have to go down the traditional chemotherapy route on
Carboplatin
& Pemetrexed which I'm not looking forward to - but you have to keep trying. I know there are other possibilities down the road and new drugs are being developed all the time so I move on to stage 2 and see what happens.

The carboplatin didn't work.
Just had an onc appointment. At my last ctscan in September there was no sign of disease, but the results from the ctscan a fortnight ago are really bad. It's spread to several places in my liver, and there's a large tumour just south of the liver and a smaller one at the top of the vagina. I've gone

Extreme joint pain 4 weeks after final chemo treatment, can any one help?
I had my final chemo on December 27th (
carboplatin
and plaxitol) and for the last 2 weeks I have had pain in my knees, ankles, wrists, fingers and thumbs, also get pins and needles in my hands. My oncologist said I'd probably caught "the flu bug" that's been going around!!

Post-op chemo depression - how to combat it and how to give effective support
My wonderful wife and soul-mate had IDS some weeks ago and had one session of
carboplatin
4 weeks later. It has been hell for her. She has been quite unwell, her white blood cell count is frighteningly low. So low that they would not give her the last lot of chemo three weeks after the first.

So Tired
She said it takes about half an hour to deliver the
Carboplatin
but expect to be there for most of the afternoon. The oncologist wants to see me before each cycle, and has not said when she will want a CT scan, if it will be midway or after chemo cycles are complete.

Starting Chemo Friday, Jan 11....and scared
I start chemo (taxol and
carboplatin
) on Friday. Total of 6 treatments, three weeks apart....ovarian cancer was deemed aggressive...so they want to be aggressive!!? I am scared to death, while doing my best to keep a good attitude, and being grateful for having found the ovarian cancer so early.

Any advice on best questions to ask oncologist prior to last round of Carboplatin/taxol next week?
I'm 49 and was diagnosed with Stage 3C ovarian cancer last summer. I've been on 3 weekly treatment since September last year and have struggled much more emotionally than physically I would say. Partner of 25 years went off with lady friend at beginning of 2012 which was devastating. I have fantastic
