Hi there,
I have just been diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer and been told that my chemotherapy Comb is designed to prolong life not to cure me.
If my heart scan comes back clear, I will begin my first round of chemo next Monday.
I will be receiving a combination of Carboplatin and Liposomal Doxorubicin once every 4 weeks for the next 6 months. There is no evidence of disease in any of my organs.
My question is has anyone else had this chemo combination and what can I expect?
Thank you!
Hi Bobster 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 didn't have that combination of chemo, when I was having chemo for a different type of cancer, so I don't have any experiences to share with you. However, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet so responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier for the other group members to see.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment 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.
