Rounds of chemo
in Treatment
I have had 6 rounds of carboplatin and paxitaxol twice, and 6 rounds of carboplatin and gemcitabine. My oncologist has told me eventually he will run out of options for me and he will only be able to manage my pain.
My last 6 rounds of chemo didn’t work and will need more in a couple of months. Giving me a bit of a break for now until symptoms progress more or I have my next appt in Nov (whichever comes first).
Does anyone know how many rounds of chemo one person can have? Or how many different variations of chemo there is in Canada right now.

There is a list of treatment medications on the chemotherapy topic - however not all are used in Canada and every situation is different so it will depend on what your oncologist suggests.
Are you eligible for a clinical trial?
I found another list here:https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/drugs/ovarian
Keep in mind not all are approved or available in Canada. Your medical team should be able to discuss with you the options.
Sending positive vibes your way and hope you are feeling ok. I'll also private message you.
