Hi well after reacting badly 3 weeks ago to one of my combo drugs paclitaxel the consultant wanted to change it to docetaxel with the carboplatin which I had today . Unfortunate after only 4 minutes same happened with excruciating back pain . So has anyone had other alternatives ? My doctor has mentioned a third plan CAP ? What are the thoughts on that ? Does that mean even no more carboplatin as that has worked on reducing ca125 from 430 to 325 and reduced size considerably of my groin lymph node ? Thoughts and experiences please . I was hoping to get big reductio after 4 lots and aim for surgery but not sure if that will work naturally very upset and disappointed today x

Hi Gill
It must have been so disappointing that they had to stop your chemo due to the side effects you were experiencing.
