Hi can anyone give me their experiances of Caelyx chemo. I have had Carboplatin and Taxol twice since being diagnosed in 2008
However since finishing my last chemo in December 2010 I have new symptoms now and have been advised that Caelyx would be the next chemo suitable for me. I have decided that I still have to fight on and feel more positive now that last week after the visit to the oncologist. Some insight into Caelyx

Taxol Side Effects?????????? Help please!!
Mum (71) started her 1st Taxol treatment last Friday for re-occurrence, she was fine up until yesterday then started getting stomach pains, legs feeling like heavy weights, nausea. I have just spoken to her and she has been up all night vomiting every hour. She cannot keep anything down even water.

Maintenance once in remission
My mum was diagnosed in Nov 2010 with stage 3c and has since undergone chemo (weekly taxol with carboplatin every third week), surgery and now more chemo before hopefully getting into remission. Fingers crossed!!! What an awful time this has been as I'm sure you are all so very aware of. I have just

Hope even when diagnosed stage 4
I was diagnosed with stage 4 with lung spread following an episode of pleural effusion 4 years and a Ca125 of over 6000. To cut a long story short I was given a terminal diagnosis with palliative care only. Lucky for me I saw a wonderful oncologist who commenced taxol and carboplatin chemo. I responded

Is it likely that taking aspirin may help families with BRCA2 gene mutation?
Hi All, I have been watching the news and see that taking aspirin is likely to help people with a history of bowel cancer. I had breast cancer at the age of 32 and ovarian cancer at the age of 52. It is Stage 3C. I responded well to taxol and carboplatin but had a relapse in March and thankfully

Horrible day today!
I was diagnosed with OC Stage 1 (grade 3 cells) last September. Following a full hysterectomy I had 6 sessions of carboplatin and taxol to blast a few 'floating' cells. I went into remission at the end of February this year with a CA125 of 7 and a clear CT scan. However, after experiencing some pain

six-month post chemo CA125 result. And Avastin. Is it available in the UK?
I keep an eye on this site on behalf of a very dear friend, diagnosed stage 3c last August. She and I find your questions and answers a constant source of support; I hope nobody minds me asking something on her behalf. She is about to get her latest CA125 result, post radical hysterectomy and 6 months

Mums Reaction to Taxol, now been given Caelyx
Mum (71) had a severe reaction to Taxol last Friday on her 2nd treatment, saw the oncologist today and they have said no more Taxol. So this afternoon she had a course of Caelyx given over 2.5 hours, slower than normal to be on the safe side. Mum seemed to be okay, just hoping this will work for her

How quickly should tumour show visible signs of shrinking?
A bit about my mums treatment: She was that the plan would be 6 rounds of
taxol
/
carbo
followed by (hopefully) surgery then 2 more rounds of carbo. Before she was diagnosed she had complained of pain in her right lower side (stomach) for over a year.
