- Originally thought that the experience summarized during 9 chemotherapy sessions for cancer was already quite comprehensive
- However, never expected that during the 10th chemotherapy session, there would be a platinum allergy, specifically Carboplatin allergy
- The worries did not come true
- Worries about when Carboplatin will develop resistance
- Carboplatin resistance often leads to potential cross-resistance with other platinum drugs
- This means that platinum-based chemotherapy can no longer be used
- Only targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc., can be used for maintenance
- Unexpectedly happened
- Carboplatin allergy during the 10th chemotherapy session
- Allergy indicates that platinum drugs are still effective
- Research has found that Carboplatin allergies often occur between the 6th and 21st chemotherapy sessions
- Professor Markman and others found that about 27% of patients will develop an allergy after the 7th Carboplatin chemotherapy session
- So now I understand that the appearance of an allergy is just a matter of time
- Allergy is still better than resistance
- Consider switching to other platinum drugs such as Oxaliplatin next time
- Persistence is victory
- I hope for some relief in bone marrow suppression
- I hope to endure a few more cycles of chemotherapy
- I hope to see signs of improvement or even cure in CT images and tumor markers
- Everything is hope, having hope is always better than having none
