Has anyone else had Carboplatin and Taxol which dropped kidney function to 30, first round of chemo has caused this hand now the latest scan shows tumour has grown but after consultant said next step could be surgery or radiotherapy, but after multi disciplinary meeting phoned to say surgeons didn’t think surgery was possible, and no to radiotherapy. Another scan in 3 months, bloods and consultant in month.
Hi Cam43 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that Carboplatin and Taxol caused problems with your kidneys.
I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily seen by the other members of the group.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
