Hernia or recurrence?
Had complete debaulking and 6 cycle
carbo
/
taxol
last year, could the treatment have weaken my diaphragm/stomach? Have routine CT scan tmo with bloods and three month check up to follow that in two weeks. All will be revealed then no doubt, but the waiting is probably the worst part.

Hi my mum had her 6th taxol/carbo chemo on 20th december.
she is 78 and has recently been suffering with fainting and generally feeling unsteady. at the last chemo they said she was anaemic and should consider a blood transfusion.. has anyone had these problems and has anyone got any advice? she has done so well but feels like she is never going to recover.

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

Taxol
Hi, On second cycle of Paclotaxel/Carboplatin for PPC after 7 months clear. started having bad reaction to Carbo so they have stopped it. Recent scan showed that the Paxol seems to be working on its own. I asked about Cisplatin instead and GOOD news, they will keep it for next time (if need be).

Holiday advice needed
My last chemo of six
carbo
/
taxol
will be on 13 February. Would it be feasible to go on holiday on 10 March or would it be too soon after the last chemo and should I just cancel the holiday. I've only paid a deposit so far so would only lose that.

SOME REALLY UNEXPECTED GOOD NEWS.......
The Caelyx was 3 line treatment, having previously had 2 courses of
carbo
/
taxol
with six months remission each time. I was expecting, at best, that the CT results would show 'partial response' which is what happened last time and means that the tumours have reduced by 30% or more.

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.

Can I please hear from grade 3 survivors? I was Grade 2 at initial diagnosis but restaged to grade 3
I have had 3 cycles of
Carbo
/
Taxol
and 1 of
Carbo
alone prior to operation and then 2 final courses of Carbo after operation to hopefully blitz the remaining cells. (I had my ovaries removed prior to this due to multiple cysts which turned out to be ovarian cancer.)

Topotecan
Have just been told that carboplatin alone isn't working for me (previously had carboplatin and taxol which didn't work either) and that my CA125 is now 2000. Have been recommended to try Topotecan. Does anyone have any experience of trying this and what was outcome?

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

Can anyone help with eating tips post de-bulking?
My Mum hasn't been eating much over the last few months due to a combination of cancer and 4 chemo cycles (
carbo
-
taxol
) so finding things she likes has been a challenge. All suggestions greatly welcomed.
