Hair, will it regrow or won't it
For me, it has been 15 months since last taxol round. I'm up to round 29 in a few days for Herceptin and Perjeta. My hair has come back in, but very thin, (use to be very thick and curly/wavy) and as if there are fewer follicles in play. Is this my lot now, or will it get better over time? I know

Paying for Avastin
Hi there. The Parp isn’t working and it’s sadly chemo time again so soon. I will be given weekly taxol and I plan to pay privately for Avastin. Can anyone advice me on this?

Covid 19 letters and first time user of anastrazole.
Hi, I received a txt first 9 days ago, then a letter on the 26th march. I have been on taxol weekly chemo for over a yr now. Got a stable scan 3 weeks ago. So they have now stopped chemo and put me on anastrazole for a month because of corona virus. Not been told what happens after that or when next

Good news!
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share some good news for a change. I hope it encourages others who may be needing to start on Taxol or Abraxane. I started Abraxane in February after my early January scan showed a lot more liver metastases. I also have lots of bone mets. I had been on Xeloda for 7 months

Endometrial Cancer- 8 months remission-after 4 years trying
I had an 8 month remission after the first round of chemo (
carbo

taxol
) then went on
carbo
gemzar (with a short try at doxil). With the carbo gemzar I was moslty NED while on chemo, but my doc said we should do it for a whole year. So I did. Also Avastin. I am still on Avastin.

No Dice - Back to Bath for Laura
Hi everyone, forgive me for disappearing, but this has been a bit of a saga, as you will see. Well, these are very weird and difficult times, so quitting my weekly train trips to London is a good thing. However, giving 6 months to the discomforts of the Dice Trial, only to have it fail, is pretty disappointing

Just finished frontline and am anxious
Good response to dose dense
carbo
and
taxol
. I am not BRCA +, and my oncologist said that I’m a watch and wait as a result. Parps are not helpful in preventing recurrences in BRCA -. Only used after recurrence when BRCA-. I had my tumors tested, too. No BRCA.

Buying a wig
I have been told the carboplatin I took for first recurrence has not worked so I need to take Taxol for 3 weeks on one week off. This will mean I will lose my hair. I feel very dismayed about this. Any advise on buying and wearing a wig please.

Should I get a port?
I had surgery and completed 18 weeks of
Carbo
/
taxol
and weekly blood draws without a port (at my doctor’s suggestion). I have had a reoccurrence and am receiving Carbo/doxil once a month and a monthly blood draw still without a port. Inserting the IV is becoming more difficult and painful.
