taxol
. Last week was to be my 2nd cycle but while the taxol was going in I fainted. Was told i was unconscious due to an allergy reaction. It was very frightening and I am so grateful to the nurses. They saved my life. Now I am in dilemma.

Neuropathy........Ouch
I've had 3 of 6 treatments of
carbo
/
taxol
so far & last night, neuropathy was awful in my hands and fingers. It hurt so bad & couldn't seem to get relief. Is there anything you can do for it to relieve the pain, other than take pain meds.

Reoccurrence bombshell
No visible signs of cancer post op so she had a mopping up cycle of chemo - just
carbo
as she was allergic to
taxol
. She got all clear in Feb with CA125 down to 14 from over 1600.

If anyone has has this chemo combination, I would so appreciate

My friend having breast cancer chemotherapy was offered a cold cap to protect her hair but I have ovarian cancer and didn't get that option.
Hair loss only occurs with some but not all anti-cancer drugs. The one that often causes hair loss with gynaecological cancer is called Taxol. It's also used to treat breast cancer but it is given in a different way. In breast cancer, it is often given over an hour. When used to treat ovarian cancer,

Lowest Ebb
Has anyone had adverse side effects from weekly Taxol? I had my sixth last Tuesday and apart from the following day, I've been laid up in bed since. Frustratingly I had to cancel an important meeting in Edinburgh on Friday and lost the £120 train fare as well as a day's consultancy fee which I just can't

PPC or omentum? No surgery yet as tumour not shrunk enough but ca125 dramatically reducing.
Taxol
and
carbo
3 weekly and weekly and ca125 down from 10000 to 352. Scan after 2 rounds showed some reduction in area of cancer (mum has no obvious tumour) but not enough to warrant surgery yet. Now on round 4 with same regimen plus avastin 3 weekly.

Every week Carbo/Taxol
Does each treatment consist of both
taxol
&
Carbo
just a lesser dose? When I was getting treatment once every 3 weeks each treatment would take about 5 hours. On the weekly treatment, approximately how long is each treatment?

Steroids & Positive Weight Gain
To anyone who is struggling with their appetite or weight gain, steroids have helped my my mum so much. My mum is 18 months into her diagnosis and on 3rd line treatment and it has only been this line of treatment they have suggested steroids, I wish they suggested them sooner or I had asked for them

Carboplatin only?
Good morning, ladies. I have a question that I hope some of you may be able to answer or some advice given through your experience. It's been awhile since I posted. I'll just give a little background before I ask the question. I have ovarian cancer stage 4. I have already been "debulked". I have chosen
