Hi. I'm entering my third year of chemotherapy treatment. I have cancer unknown primary source.
For two years I've been treated with Carboplatin and plaxatol. This session it's been changed to Carboplatin and gemcitabine.
I'm having real issues with Diarrhea and was wondering if this is an issue for anyone else and what helps.
Thank you
I didn't realise you had to stick to one group
Hi. I’m not a member of this group but just wanted to clarify. You can post in any section. You could also try in the “Ask a nurse”

No worries. Unfortunately the CUP remains. This time with change in treatment, the side effects different. I knew where I was with carboplatin and plaxatol, Gemcitabine is definitely different. Has two rounds , four more to go. Scans after the fourth.. hopefully back in remission
