I have had carboplatin and Caelyx in 2022, 2023 and 2024/5. Caelyx is PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin. It lasts in your system for longer than doxorubicin, is not as cardiotoxic and you are able to receive more of the altered drug. Carboplatin side effects are well documented. It mostly just makes me nauseous. Caelyx can ulcerate any soft tissue it comes in contact with. Two weeks after treatment I get mouth ulcers where the upper and lower jaws meet. They can be extremely painful, and I often purée food to make it easier to eat. Soups have been good, because it’s protein as well as fluids. It’s also given me colitis of the large intestine, but I don’t know if the diarrhoea that I get is from that or the Whipples procedure I had in 2021. There are other symptoms but they are fairly minor in comparison, or I have just gotten used to them.
I have had recurrent ovarian cancer since 2010. I am up to my 49th chemo cycle. I have had 8 chemotherapy treatments since 2010. I had a 7th cycle today of Caelyx and carboplatin. That’s because the scans last week showed that the cancer is smaller, but still there. I am an experiment, because of the length of time I have lived, and how much chemotherapy I have already gone through. I hope this helps.
