Has anyone had experiences with doxi/ carbo, the red devil, for recurrence of ovarian cancer? Starting next week and would like to hear your success, or not and what to expect. Tia

I’m at the Sydney Adventist Hospital, in Sydney, Australia! The Mayo clinic is a little too far from me!

I just finished 6 cycles of Carbo/Doxil aka red devil at Mayo Clinic for my recurrence of Ovarian Cancer. I tolerated it pretty good but we did have to dose reduce the Doxil because of mouth sores. The reduced dose did affect the effect and my numbers did go down but not as much as I was hoping. Now I’m just getting an Atvastin infusion every 3 weeks and taking a break from Chemo. I’ve been a cancer patient at Mayo for 2 years. I have had CTscans regularly but no Pet scans. Hope this information helps.

Very helpful, @pattyortiz. I hope it is a welcome break from chemo. How are you doing on Avastin?
