Experiences with

Carbo taxol

She had Carbo/Taxol which looked promising until a recurrence. Caelyx. Then Carbo/Taxol again. In June 2017 she had her final chemo and had been NED ever since. Her CA125 has been between 9-11. She had her latest six month blood test recently and the CA125 has risen to 44.

Sorry I think I may had posted this already…has anyone gone through their first recurrence with carbo/taxol but with avastin added. I’ve read that some had carbo caelyx for their first recurrences.

Hi beautiful ladies, This is my first recurrence and I am back on carbo / taxol and now I cannot tolerate the carbo after my 9th cycle so My oncologist will be switching me to cisplatin for next 3 more cycles. Has anyone been on this chemo drug?

I am about to start chemo carbo/taxol for a first recurrence HGOC. Please could you tell me how quickly Ca125 starts to come down. Is it from the first cycle or is it further into the course?

Finished my 1st lot of treatment carbo/taxol and avastin in November but my scan results were not good so now I’m not curable but treatable I’m starting weekly taxol with 1 week off can anyone tell me what side effects will be like with this treatment thanks 🦋

I started with carbo/taxol and had surgery in between. Instant recurrence so when on keytruda/lenvima. Currently on clinical trial acr 368 and have failed. Moving to doxil/bevacizumab in a wk. Definitely been a rough journey.

I’m a bit nervous even though I’ve been on carbo/taxol and niraparib . Had a tough time with it but don’t know what to expect for carbo/caelyx. I hear different experiences from everyone.

Had hysterectomy in August 2022, finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy (carbo & taxol in Jan 2023, and finished radiation in April 2024. Recurrence in Nov 2024. started chemo on Jan 17, 2025. I’m a wreck! But love this treatment team!

Dear ladies, last Thursday I was taking 8th weekly carbo/taxol chemo when I got severe reaction to carboplatine (red skin and feeling nauseas, in pain). They made CT scan and concluded that also this chemo didn’t work (I had 3 Caelyx/carbo before).

I’ve had full debulking surgery and have just finished my 6th (and final scheduled) round of carbo/taxol chemo. I’m BRCA negative. I’m keen to find out if any women here with the same subtype are taking any preventative medications? Anyway- a problem shared is a problem halved right? 😊

Following a 4b diagnosis last year, 6 rounds of Carbo/Taxol and debulking surgery, I am currently very lucky to have NED. I started Olaparib and Avastin in February as maintenance and the fatigue has got progressively worse. Also suffering from muscle and joint aches.

My oncologist said most likely I will along with nausea but I have read that some people have less side effects than with Carbo/Taxol. Thank you so much for your support. Marietta

I then had 6 rounds of carbo/taxol. I am BRAC1 and was on Olaparib. I was just going through the normal motions when in September 24 CA125 had risen and had a scan and tumours spotted. I had more debulking in October 24 and started chemo in November 24. This time carbo/caylex.

Had a total hysterectomy and weekly carbo/taxol on ICON8. Now I’m 77 and exactly 10 years NED with no recurrences, (but two hernia ops and lots of mesh, incontinence, neuropathy in my feet and curly grey hair. However, all are better than the alternative!)

/taxol/Keytruda & letrozole which didn't work now platinum resistant I'm not PDL1.

So now they propose 2 treatment approaches - 1 longer infusion of carbo/taxol every 21 days for 6 cycles or weekly 2-3 h infusions at 1/3 dose for 18 weeks. They offer the cold cap only for the second treatment as apparently it’s difficult to keep it longer than 3 hours.

i have had one chemo with carbo only, 6 with carbo & taxol, 3 with carbo & taxol & Avastin. By September my CA-125 was 838. Last week I had a diagnostic laporascopy to determine whether the time was right to do the debulking surgery. I won’t go into all the reasons, but my oncologist, Dr.

Previously: Carbo/taxol/avastin, carbo/caelyx, Niraparib. I have just had treatment 2 of cycle 1 of carbo/gem and I have a very itchy red rash between my neck and just below my breast. I am using e45 and taking anti histamine at present.

I had 1st reoccurance in sept 2021 and finished carbo/taxol in jan 2022. I have been on Lynparza for 2 years just finished but my ca125 is still rising now at 92 but CT scan was clear in jan. And i get scans and bloods every 3 months xx

One of them is chemo I had last year when diagnosed carbo/taxol - but wonder if it makes sense if it recurred so quick? History: Diagnosed jan 2023, HGOC 4B, 3xchemo, debulking,3x chemo, august 2023 started with Niraparib as I was BRCA negative.
