  • Hello Shaz6117, 

    I am sorry to hear that you have been feeling poorly the last three rounds and I hope that you will feel better when you have switched to Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. There is information on our website on this chemotherapy combination which you can access here. You will find details as to common, occasional and rare side effects you may encounter. If you have any questions, our nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you will also meet others on this forum who have had this treatment before. I had a little look for you and found for example that on this thread, [@saldo5]‍ mentioned having had 6 rounds of the PC combination so I hope you will get chatting soon and sharing experiences! 

    Best of luck with your treatment. I am keeping everything crossed for you that everything goes well!

    Best wishes,
