Paclitaxel and Carboplatin plus Pembrolizumab versus Gemcitabine and Carboplatine?

Hi puti 

I would imagine that having to make treatment decisions can be very hard.

I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

Best wishes with whichever option you choose.

In Nov 2020 I had the first cocktail, it worked really well. I think the immunotherapy pembrolizumab was the game changer. I had the usual hair loss and did suffer with neuropathy.  The immunotherapy I managed fine for nearly two years before it caused colitis and I missed the last couple of doses. I have recently had your 2nd cocktail which again calmed my lymph nodes again. But it made me very tired and attacked my red blood cells and i ended up having 4 blood transfusions. I had had 4 doses of docetaxel which didn't work and was a bit vicious side effect wise hair went again and neuropathy started off again.and early last year I had radiotherapy with cisplatin and vinorelbine which worked for a short while. I found the first lot the easiest. That might be because it was the start of my treatment before my body got fed up from the treatment. 

All I can say is I'm 4 years into this journey and at the moment feel well and I'm not on treatment. Next scan in Nov and I'll again go with the flow.

I suppose all these treatments work differently for all and side effects vary from person to person. 

Good luck with your choice and journey. 

Love
