did anyone have any allergic reaction to carboplatin? If so how long will they keep me on it before switching it to something else. I’ve had 2 reactions and the drs keep upping my steroids. Any information or advice?

I have never been on this medication, but reactions and negative side-effects are common to many cancer treatments.

It is possible that the adverse affects you are experiencing are outweighed by the possible benefits... have you spoken to your doctor about this?

I would always recommend seeking a second, and even a third opinion when you feel uncomfortable with decisions the medical team is making.

@Lgoody‍ Yes I nausea and vomiting, but from what I have seen, it seems those side effects are almost guaranteed with chemo and the medications. How are you doing now?

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
