Which is best?
I wonder if anyone with GCT (granulosa cell tumour) would mind saying which treatment has worked best for them so far. For me, Exemestane has been the best of the hormone treatments I have tried, (have tried Arimidex, Tamoxifen & Zoladex too). In chemo, I've had Carboplatin, weekly Taxol, & Caelyx,

A happy note
My gyn/enc actually used the words "cancer free" to me on Friday! Being stage 3C I know it can be temporary but what wonderful words to hear. I started out being misdiagnosed with "allergies" by a sub-GP (and yes, take that two ways lol) . Soon after, my regular doctor returned and immediately

Neuropathy - how did you deal with it?
Many of us experience neuropathy especially during our first line treatment of carboplatin and taxol. I started this thread to collect ideas about how each of you dealt with it - what worked and what didn’t work for you. Like so many other things what worked for one person may or may not work for others

Getting ready for surgery
I have been through 3 rounds of
carbo
/
taxol
and am scheduled for surgery March 19th. My CA 125 was 899 at diagnosis and was 68 after my 2nd round of chemo. I just know I am going to beat this! But I am getting nervous about the surgery. How bad is the recovery?

Liese
Hello, I'm liese, I had ovarian cancer 2004, stage 2A, CA125 6000 before hysterectomy, I then took 6 doses of carboplatin and taxol every 3 weeks. 6 months or so later CA125 elevated so I was given another 3 of the same, dose 2, I became allergic to the carboplatin, felt really weird...As we all know

Hair stopped falling out !
Funny question I suppose. My hair ....or at least about 80 % of it came out in handfuls between the 3rd and 4th cycles of weekly Taxol. Now it seems to have completely stopped ...and in my imagination has started growing again. I still have eyebrows and eyelashes. Has anyone else had this happen ? I'm

NED update
Yep, you can have no obvious lesions on a CT scan and still need chemo! "Encasement of the bowel and its mesentery by Carcinometistasis" is the issue for me. It seems the seeding is so extensive it is almost paralysing my bowel so my oncologist says 2nd line chemo may reduce it. He also said that it

I am now on just Avastin every three weeks. Would like any advice on supplements to take with tis, or any to avoid. I heard that it causes joint pain for many ... anything I can do to prevent this?

Bloating on Chemo?
He wasn't concerned and said that bloating on
carbo
/
taxol
is common. I'm still very worried. Feeling like a hypochondriac these days. Did anyone else bloat? If so, did anything help?

Side effects from Eliquis
I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with stage 4 MBC in 8/17 after 10 years of being cancer free following diagnosis of breast cancer Ductal institute stage 0. I have been healthy and they found it in my eye on routine eye exam. I have no mass on mammogram and there are different opinions as to if

What a first day back
She's getting
Carbo
and
Taxol
, the same as the first time, which she tolerated well. Unfortunately, yesterday didn't go so so smoothly. Everything was going fine, she was given the steroids, and the benedryl, which made her completely drunk sounding, with the slurred speech, and drowsiness.
