Desensitization protocol later today
Now gyn/enc wants
Doxil
/Avastin but I had allergic reaction to the
Doxil
although not as severe as the Taxol. I am going to go thru desensitization protocol which is supposed to be a quick way to make my body accept the
Doxil
with out so much allergic reaction.

Where do I go from here?
I have now just finished 6 months of carbo &
doxil
treatment. A CT scan after 3 months, showed that the treatment was working and the cancer was reduced. Treatment is now finished and I am going for another CT scan tomorrow. My CA 125 levels were never very high.

Doxil
Has anyone been on
Doxil
and did you get a rash with it? Did it get worse with each treatment? Any suggestions to tame it down. I have had 2 treatments and both legs and my stomach are covered with a rash. So far, no itching. But it feels like something is wrapped around my legs. Suggestions?

post treatment for recurrence
She is just finishing another round with carboplatinum and
doxil
this time. She doesn't have the BRCA gene, but her doctor has still offered an oral medicine - lynparza - as it seems to push out the (almost certain) next recurrence. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this drug? Thank you!

Chemo Again
Have taken 2 infusions of
Doxil
. Had to cut down on dosage because of side effects. My CA125 is higher than at diagnosis 10/15. Having a scan this week. Hoping for some good news but I know I'm in the Lord's hands and it's up to him, not me. Hope everyone is getting better.

Is Doxil and Avastin Still working?
Hello Teal sisters, I'm starting to worry I have been on 3 cycles of
Doxil
and Avastin out of 6. After the first two cycles my Ca 125 level drop in half however, following the third cycle my CA125 only dropped 3 points. Has this happen to anyone else? God Bless

Rough patch
This includes the recent news that I progressed on
Doxil
after only 3 cycles (new spots on liver and lung) and full brain mets (brain, skull, derma surrounding brain). We are dealing with the brain mets now with full brain radiation. I’ve completed 7 of 15 sessions.

Vaginal/Bladder discomfort during chemo?
I'm currently on
Doxil
/Avastin for my first recurrence. It also happened once while I was on carbo/taxol during frontline. Can anyone relate to this? If so, did anything help? I'm 64 and not sexually active, so it's definitely not from that!!! The discomfort is maddening! Thanks.

Decision time: What was your second line treatment and did it work....(especially for platinum resistant)
My oncologist is recommending
Doxil
as a single agent, one infusion every 4 weeks. In the meantime I am getting another opinion next Thursday. I have already been rejected from a clinical study because I don't meet one of the criteria and there are no other studies available right now.

Missing chemo
I’m currently on avastin and
doxil
. I’m going on a vacation and am thinking of skipping one round of treatment so that I’ll feel better and these mouth sores will go away. The way my treatments are scheduled this will mean it’ll be a month between treatments if I skip one.

To port or not to port
So now I’m on IV chemo,
Doxil
, every 3 weeks. With the initial chemo in 2014, the surgeries in 2016, the regular blood draws and scans with contrast my veins in my left arm are becoming more difficult to use. Can’t use right due to lymph node removal.

Stage IVb Uterine Cancer
It climbed again a few months later and I’m now on
doxil
and avastin for about 6 sessions. My hands, legs and back really hurt. I’m scared about my prognosis. Have any of you had the same diagnosis/treatment? Thank you. Debbie

Melt down
I just had a scan and 6 months of IV
Doxil
aka The Red Devil. I had the Ibrance almost knock me down for the count with dangerous blood levels. Has anyone else considered this break? I think the toll of it all and cost and I just want my body to take a break and start back to gym.
