Scan result-no shrinkage but surgery going ahead!
Hiya I had my mid treatment scan results today (had 3 cycles of
taxol
carbo
) and my tumours havent changed at all. Onc thought this would be the case as my biopsy revealed low grade (yet Im stage 3 with spread to omentum).

Has anyone experienced trouble with their fingernails?
I have been on weekly
Taxol
/
Carbo
and because my nails are very tender and there is a chance I might lose some of them, I have been taken off Taxol.

Impact of OC on lungs / AVASTIN / Dealing with pain
Hello ladies, I am posting this message on behalf of my mother. She is 73 years old and was recently diagnosed with OC (in Dec 2011) - stage 4, grade 3. I live in England but my mother lives in France (we are both French). A friend recommended this website and I have found all your posts/messages

I'm so fed up and disappointed - is anyone else in the same situation?
I finished 7 cycles of
Carbo
/
Taxol
on 7th December. I had my ovaries removed initially at the beginning of April 2011 due to multiple "nasty" cysts as an incidental finding when presenting with a polyp in the womb and the histology came back as a surprise to my surgeon and myself as Stage IIC OC.

Is this the end of the road? Please can anyone offer any suggestions?
My Mum aged 71 has had OC since Oct 2010, she had Carboplatin 4 rounds then debulking surgery 7th Feb 2011, followed by another 3 rounds of Carboplatin. She relapsed within 6 weeks and started Taxol, 2nd infusion she passed out as soon as they started the infusion so they stoped this line of treatment

Stage 3 but low grade
She thinks that the
taxol
carbo
'might not be' doing much because she thinks its been a slow growing cancer. I have a ct this thurs and the results on the 2nd feb, this is when Ill be told if Im having surgery next or more chemo.

options after carboplatin and taxol
Hello I’m posting on behalf of my mother who has had 2 recurrences of ovarian cancer and we’ve just found that the weekly taxol that she’s been having isn’t working. This is really demoralising and I was interested in finding out if anyone has been in a similar position and what other treatment you

taxol
treatments followed by big surgery and two more chemos.

Pre-chemo session blood test failure
What is the significance of one's blood test being insufficiently back up to the necessary levels for next chemo session? I am on carboplatin for the third time in several years (previous two was taxol as well) but this is the first time my chemo has been delayed due to this blood situation. Seeing my

Loss of smell and taste
I had had two lots of
carbo
/
taxol
treatment within four years but it was only some months after the last treatment that my smell and taste suddenly disappeared two years ago. I saw an ENT specialist who did a 'wotsit'-oscopy and ordered a head scan.

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in March
Diagnosed with oc in march 2011 and told possibility of tumours in the liver. Had chemo carboplatin and taxol, six sessions. Went to see oncologist today who confirmed that the tumours in the liver had shrunk and were dormant. Told that i would probably need more treatment in future for oc as it would
