How long to wait before beginning chemo?
They will decide soon when to start her chemo regime (4 courses of taxol/
carboplatin
) My mum is 73 and in quite good health for age, she has the ascites and her OC is advanced to include lymph nodes in abdomen area.

Avastin - is it an urban myth?
The decision SWMBO has made is
Carboplatin
alone, adding in the other one if it proves necessary later in the treatment. I asked about Avastin, could this be considered alongside the
Carboplatin
? The response was, 'not in this country, it is not available.

Why have they booked this 'extra' chemo?
My mum was initially told she would have 3 rounds of
carboplatin
, then surgery then more chemo. I saw the consultant with her after the first rounds of chemo and she basically said it hadn't cleared as much of the cancer as they wanted and they wanted to do 3 rounds of carbo/taxol before operating.

10 Year Survivor
Finally I had chemo again last year - started with CA125 over 7000 and down to 16 after 6 monthly cycles of
carboplatin
. CA125 started to rise again almost immediately but again I'm feeling well so no treatment as yet.

Just need to talk...
She had 3 rounds of
carboplatin
and we thought before we went for the scan results that it had done some good as she felt much better. The scan resuts showed otherwise - although it had made a difference, it hadn't made enough of a difference for them to operate.

New "girl"
During the op, the surgeon noticed some "suspicious" lymph nodes in my pelvic/groin area, which turned out to be cancerous, but could not be removed because attached to major blood vessel.I had a course of chemo (
carboplatin
/paxlitaxil) 0ver 4 months, which shrunk the tumours.

Taxol
So, I'd be interested to know for future chemos if anyone has decided not to have the taxol and just gone with the
carboplatin
and if their oncolgists were okay about their decision. Cathy

THE REASON WHY I HAVE BEEN REFUSED AVASTIN - but it aint over yet folks
I am having my CA125 checked next Monday and if it has gone down I will just carry on with my next four
carboplatin
, if it has gone up I will have another scan, but for now it is business as usual.

Have been given a starting date
Apparently a trial has been conducted just using the drug with some favourable results, now they are combining it with
carboplatin
.

options after carboplatin and taxol
She was diagnosed in February 2009, had 3-weekly
carboplatin
, recurred in August 2010, had 3-weekly
carboplatin
again, recurred in May 2011 and started weekly taxol in November 2011. It doesn’t seem to have spread anywhere beyond the abdomen yet.
