Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum and this is my 1st post .
I just had my 3rd cycle of paclitaxel and carboplatin yesterday and everything is going OK with side effects not too aggressive thank goodness. However , yesterday I was given the carboplatin before the paclitaxel instead of the other way round . I read that paclitaxel should always be given first to be most effective. Has anyone else experienced this?
Talking of side effects , my hair is falling out now so I'm off for a head shave today so I won't be able to pretend that I don't really have cancer and that this isn't all a really bad nightmare
Wishing you all the best in your battles
Hi Dorset Girl and welcome to the Community.
This group is a general Chemotherapy discussion group so you ‘may’ connect with others on the same treatment……
However I do see that you have already joined our dedicated Vaginal cancer support group…… you may want to copy the text from this post and put up a thread in the Virginal group as this will widen your support platform to people with the same cancer - all the best.
Virginal sorry , that did make me chuckle!
Darn predictive text !
