My first reoccurrence after 17 months, stage 4b ovarian cancer, already had full debulking surgery and 6 chemo's. I now am starting 6 cycles of carboplatin and caelyx. How did anyone get on with this mix, hair loss, side effects, results. Thanks
Hi Annie,
So sorry to hear about your reoccurrence.
I’m currently half way through 6 rounds of just Carboplatin, so far sickness has been minimal, very tired and hair loss I would also say is minimal.
Best of luck with your treatment, listen to your body. Always here to chat if you need to
