Blessed that this is on my outer abdomen and

How long can you live with inoperable OV cancer?
Started treatment September,
carbo
/
taxol
, in hope of shrinking it to allow an operation. However, specialist says operation is too risky because of cancer in lymph node near my aorta. Due another scan in May but no plan and no contact with oncologist or cancer nurse until afterwards.

I’ve decided to try TAXOL
Dear lovely ladies I visited my Oncologist today with my husband, Steve. I’ve opted to try taxol, 3 weeks on and 1 week off. I’m having a port fitted a week tomorrow and treatment should follow soon afterwards. Let’s hope it’s successful and I don’t suffer too many side effects. I can’t thank you

Sore mouth, ulcers, avastin.
Had avastin added to my
carbo
/
taxol
regime two weeks a go. For the last 10 days I ha ve had a painful, sore burning mouth and ulcers on my tongue. I’ve been using the mouthwashes from the hospital, which haven’t really helped but sting a lot!

CA 125 rise in a Month but still in the normal range.
Well Hello... Just finished up my 16 weeks of Taxol and now before I can get two more rounds the insurance wants me to get a CT Scan before they will pay for anymore. Which fingers crossed am NED and then to maintenance with my Parp. On the flip side, last month my CA 125 was 11 and this month it is

Pondering my options....
Dear Ladies I just thought I give you an update on my thinking. I’m slowly coming to terms with things and starting to enjoy the research. As you know, my lovely oncologist, Steph has given me three suggested treatment options. Paclitaxel - via a Port (to be fitted) IV, 3 weeks on 1 week off. Epirubicin

My recent scan has shown progression in the liver!
Hello I’ve just got back from seeing my Oncologist. My recent CT scan has shown new mets in the liver and the existing mets have grown a little. All other mets are stable. Xeloda has been stopped. My Oncologist has suggested I should now go on taxol. However, she has also offered me two other options

Second opinion
I have returned from MD Anderson! The doctor say she wouldn’t give me IV Chemo until I tried all oral Chemo first, she would do exemtense first then taxol, but taxotere last. She also stated my liver is functioning just fine and there are more options if taxotere doesn’t work. I do have a lot of mixed

Delighted to be still here after my sell buy date!!!!
Hi everyone. I haven't been on here for a while but I thought I'd just update you on my situation. In September my weekly Taxol chemo treatment was stopped as it was not working. I was told that I had about 6 months life expectancy. Despite an emergency hospital admission and subsequent palliative radiotherapy

Ascites
Hello ladies, has anyone had ascites build up whilst on chemo? Or does it mean my chemo has stopped working? I am on weekly taxol and have also noticed that my hair is growing back these last few weeks

Chemo experience
Hello everyone, I am getting braver by reading information on this site. I have seen that it is likely that I will have carboplatin and taxol. I am overwhelmed by the side effects and I am asthmatic, I see it can affect your breathing. What have everyone's experiences been? Should I be doing anything

Neuropathy. No taste.
Hi all I just finished six rounds of
carbo

taxol
and I’m done. I’m experiencing neuropathy in my feet. Hard to get to sleep at night. It hurts. Also I have no taste and actually anything I put in my mouth has a disgusting taste. Have you experienced this?

CT scan results today
Hello Ladies, just to let you know the oncologist rang with my CT scan results today. The Taxol obviously stopped working a few weeks ago and the cancer is progressing slowly but surely. I don’t yet know the new dimensions of the tumours but the tumours in my liver have increased. I’m going back on

Latest update
Hi Ladies Meeting with consultant gave the news I was dreading. Weekly Taxol had not worked and the scan showed slow progression of cancer. No more chemo options but given Letrozole to try and slow things down. She is contacting another hospital to discuss any possible trial options. Still hoping! Hope
