Keep getting upset
Had my forth cycle (
taxol
/carboplatin) two weeks ago and I've found this to be my worst treatment. Had another urine infection, twinges around tummy area and can't stop crying. Is this all to do with the chemo and has any of you lovely ladies had this problem? l'm dreading next week (fifth cycle)

I was diagnosed with stage IV PPC in January 2014 and since then have had one round of carbo/
taxol
followed by surgery. I went into remission until last September and have just completed second round of chemo - carbo/caelyx.

My treatments
This will be followed by 12 weekly
taxol
treatments. Also have neulasta auto injector every session. So far I have lost 90% of my hair on my head. Eyebrows still good. The "girl whiskers" have thinned out, yay!! I would say even leg and underarms have thinned too.

Facing chemo for the 2nd time and frightened
I'm told that it is rare to have had surgery for a recurrence and so the consultant wants to treat this as a 'new' cancer and blast me with carbo and
taxol
this time 'round (only had carbo the first time).

Ascites
The onc says they're reluctant to put in a perm drain when you're on chemo (weekly
taxol
, one week off) but I'm beginning to think i need to be a little more assertive. To b e honest I'm beginning to feel so very helpless and apathetic. I know it's not a good mental attitude.

Sickness
Had my 3rd cycle of
taxol
/ carboplatin on Wednesday and still feeling sick. Taking ondansetron twice a day plus metoclopradamide if needed. Was prescribed a quarter of a tablet at night of levomepromazine but found I was having bad dreams, so I stopped taking them..
