Tumour pain on weekly taxol

[Mlowery]

Hi

I am on weekly taxol 3 weeks on 1 off. Coping well and ca going down. Ca not a good guide for me. I am having tumour pain which is manageable like needles digging me. Trying to convince myself it’s the taxol working. Anybody else had this.

Having scan soon . Need to get my positive head on struggling today

Best wishes to everyone Maureen

Hi Maureen,

I definitely had the same sharp, shooting ‘pins & needles’ feeling in my tumour area when I was on Taxol during FLT. It was very strange....but I kept thinking the tumour was being targeted & so saw it as a good thing.

Hope your scan shows good results.

I'm experiencing the same. I started carbo/taxol last week and I'm experiencing significant tumour pain. I'm taking it that it's definitely them screaming as they shrivel!!! Xx

Hi littlesan yeah let’s go with that.

I have just finished 6 cycles of carbo taxol reduced by 25% for a recurrence and am really struggling with pain in my tumour area can't sleep on my right side. You can't help worry about it. I am constantly thinking about it and it's been much harder this time round mentally. My ca125 is 20 but the tumour hadn't shrunk half way through. I hate this waiting game it plays with your head. I have no answers for you. But your not alone.

Let me know if you get any news on yours. Hope it's the chemo doing it's job
