Metastatic ovarian to 2 lymph nodes
So now I'm on a chemo cocktail of Avastin, Carbo, and
gemzar
for 1 day and a week later I'm on
gemzar
alone with the neulasta the following day with the obi. I had 3 cycles and 1 lymph node is clear now and the other diminished by 50%.

gemzar
, week off then start again.

What's next?
or
Gemzar
? The Avastin and cytoxan doesn't seem to be working. I go for another cat scan next week to see what's going on. My CA 125 keeps rising and I'm starting to feel bloated and achy. I don't know what's next. It's always a wait and see. Cher 96 (joan)

What are others doing who have MBC that has moved to your stomach and caused severe pain, stomach distension, constipation and nausea?
I’ve been on
Gemzar
chemo. My visit yesterday, my dr would not do chemo bc I had not had a bowel movement for five days and spent the day before in ER. she wants to change to Taxol when I return. I’d like to hear others experience with Taxol. She said I would lose my hair and get neuropathy.

Has anyone had experience with
Gemzar
IV chemo after oral chemo. My oncologist now wants to add Carboplatin, another IV chemo. Any experience with both. I have stage 4 MBC with Mets to bones, liver and now spread to my stomach lining.

Questions on Taxol
I was recently for six cycles on
Gemzar
(first IV chemo since original diagnosis in 1995) but, as the scan indicated, it did not work so the oncologist would like to switch me to Taxol. So, for those of you who have been on Taxol, here are some specific questions: 1. Did the bone pain improve?

High CA-125, yet no symptoms
Two years later I had a recurrence and had a second round of carbon-
gemzar
and avastin and responded well. In March of 2020 I started Zejula and have been on it ever since. My CA-125 has been climbing since September 2020, and is now 336.1 (as of 11/8/21.
