23 days agoGood morning Warriors, Has anyone done chemo with carboplatin, doxorubicin and Avastin? Side effects? Did it work?
Community Member
23 days agoMany community members have shared experiences with various chemotherapy combinations, and it's completely natural to want to hear from others who've been through similar treatments. Each person's response to these medications can be quite different, so connecting with fellow warriors who've walked this path can provide valuable insights and emotional support. Hopefully some community members will share their experiences with this specific combination to help you feel more prepared and informed.

20 days agoHi Kathi I did carbo over 8 yrs with three different combos: taxol, gemzar and lastly Doxil. Unfortunately the carbo dox combo did not work however I had become no longer platinum sensitive. My main side effects were low energy for about a week, acid reflex (never nausea), low white blood cells, thinning hair. Wishing you all the best 🩵

12 days agoI'm getting ready to start carbo with doxil My Drs wouldn't do that with avastin because of concern about the side effects with the heart

5 days agoTwo years ago I had 6 cycles of Carbo and 2 of Doxil. Carbo side effects were bearable ( fatigue , brain fog, and weight gain) but I had to stop Doxil bc of the rash on hands and feet. Those are tough, so be sure to use ample cream on the soles of your hands and feet. Wishing you the best.
