Weekly taxol-missed session
Hello Ladies has anyone gone though dose-dense weekly taxol but had to miss two weeks? Did this have any effect on your overall treatment/prognosis/remission? Thank you.

My worst chemo day so far -- major grump time
Sorry its a grump blog. Those ladies nervous about chemo may wish to not read on. Its not nasty I promise-- just a great example of how things don't always go to plan which has happened today in spades. This is now officially my worst chemo day ever. I thought last week was bad with 8 attempts to

Post Op/Chemo Results
The 3 cycles of
carbo

taxol
post op has done nothing to reduce the tumours left on my bowel and diaphragm. There is no disease south of my navel, considering my pelvis was almost frozen I can be very grateful to my surgeon. Further surgery that was an option at one time is not on now.
