Thank you.

I think treatment will always depend on your particular situation. I’m currently facing my first recurrence and after a scan showed very small areas of disease, my oncologist is waiting to scan again in 2 months. If things have changed I’ll begin carbo/taxol, the same as first line and all being well I’ll then go onto a parp. Parp inhibitors seem to have changed and improved treatment options significantly over the last few years.

Good luck with whatever treatment you have, and a very happy Christmas to you too xx

[RG47 in reply to RoseMS]

I didn’t have any maintenance treatment at all.

[Emmacrispins in reply to RoseMS]

I’m sure that some more members of the forum community will share their experiences with you soon, but I just wanted to let you know about Ovacome’s information resources on this topic, which can be found here:

Hi. After such a long period sometimes they do more surgery if they can get it all and they might redo carbo taxol since it worked so well the first time. Otherwise a lot of people have carbo caelyx/ aka doxil. Good luck with everything! Xx

Good morning! I just got my first recurrence after 6 years, stage 3C Fallopian cancer - started carboplatin and paclitaxol again for 6 rounds, that was the first regimen I had and my oncologist thought I did really well with it so we’re doing it again - she will start me on Parp inhibitors post chemo so this will be a new experience for me - good luck to you!
