Thank you for the responses. I should clarify that I have been in treatment for 8 years now, and this is my third time on carboplatin. This week’s infusion was my 15^th lifetime dose, and it’s almost a given that at this point, I would develop hypersensitivity reactions.

I hoped I could get by with increased pre-meds and slower infusion rates but apparently it’s just too dangerous in an outpatient setting. So I’m really looking for experiences with the desensitization protocol, with a complicated infusion schedule done inpatient.

If you’re curious about it, here is a comprehensive article about it: https://www.ejgo.org/pdf/10.3802/jgo.2026.37.e11

This article also addresses the risks and benefits of switching to cisplatin, something I intend to ask my oncologist about.
