Anyone take carboplatin and doxorubicin for recurrence of ovarian ca?

@jodimj I did a search and did not find anyone within the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group who has been administered Doxirubcin carboplatin.
I type "Doxirubcin carboplatin" in the Search box at the top of this page and turned up discussions in other Support Groups for other kinds of cancer. You might like to start there. In the meantime, I will do a more thorough search and see if I can turn up anyone else who has been treated with Doxirubcin carboplatin.
Have you already started on Doxirubcin carboplatin?

Can you tell me if this combination or doxorubicin is used at Mayo clinics? I did get some responses, but was told neither Mayo, MSK, and another top hospital do not use this on ovarian cancer. This has me concerned, protocols imaging vary as well. I was told mayo doesn’t use cat or pet scans often for this cancer as well.
I’ve been on this for 4 treatments? .. and numbers are rising, both CA 125 , and natera. Interested to know what others get treated with for recurrence, braca -, some folate.
TIA

No, I haven’t, due, to start early next week. It’s more commonly known as red devil, and been around since the 60s. They’ve altered the drug some, now time released, long lasting. Hence the new name, it’s just so disheartening not to see it, as it’s pretty common here. I am very apprehensive about starting with this with all its side effects.
I can’t find many or much of a support group for it anywhere.
Thought id do better here. Adding to the anxiety for sure.
Thank you for your response.🤗
