Any advice on ascitis?
As she became allergic to Carbo Taxol. she was administered
Gemzar
, which didn't help and is now on Avastin. Her CA125 were pretty high and seem to be going down slowly but her ascitis doesn't seem to get any better. Does anyone here have experience with ascitis and its treatment?

Will Kidney function improve after gemzar/cisplatin
I hovered at creatinine of 1.1 to 1.3 during treatment but 4 weeks after treatment it is now 1.7 with egfr of 30. I am actually not very happy with my oncologist as he has not bothered to call me about the results. I saw them on the computer. Also,, went for a cystoscope at which time they did a urinalysis

Chemo vacation
The last chemo was the
Gemzar
and Navalbien. After 9 rounds the damn cancer got smart and no longer kept its place. It began to grow. More mets and larger existing ones. I was then put back on my original chemotherapy that I was given with my original diagnosis back in 2007.

Previously had carbo/taxol and then cistoplatin/
gemzar
which were all successful but now am platinum resistance. Caelyx is tough as has me knocked sideways. Ca125 are decreasing slowing. They peaked at over 600 now at just over 500 after 4 infusions.

Is it the end?
Doesn`t work, change to CARBO +
GEMZAR
(GEMCITABINA) until now. Please tell me possibilities of treatments? BRCA negative. Oncologist commented Taxol weekly, then Topotecan and last option hormonal therapy.

So any advice please..now chemo resistant...
So there I was at my halfway scan results ( from the cisplatin and
gemzar
) and suddenly and sadly the Dr has said there are no more treatments other than chemo tablets ( cychloosphide?) left to me now which doesn’t make sense to me having just told me my cancer is now chemo resistant..

An update post Taxol - advice needed please!
PLEASE HELP anyone out there had Cisplatin/
Gemzar
? Results? Side effects? Is anyone BRACA - and plat resistant having success on a trial or “off counter” meds such as Metformin? Any alternative meds working? I am just dreaming of a long break : do you all think I’m being an ostrich here?

Caelyx or Gemzar
They are planning to discontinue with avastin and offered me either Caelyx 4 weekly or
Gemzar
weekly for 3 weeks consecutively. Has anyone any positive outcomes on these drugs or negative as its good to know both.

Hello out there
It’s been almost a complete 8 rounds of Navelbine and
Gemzar
. This new chemo will be given until it doesn’t work. Thus far it has stabilized me no growth and unfortunately there has been no retreat in both the bones and liver.

Desensitization protocol later today
First time around had severe anaphylaxis reaction to only two drops of Taxol so switched to
gemzar
/carboplatin. Now gyn/enc wants Doxil/Avastin but I had allergic reaction to the Doxil although not as severe as the Taxol.

More natural options
I had surgery and 12 rounds chemotherapy of
gemzar
and carboplatin. Mom had pacxitaxel, which my body would not tolerate. Moms came back in 9 years. Mine came back in 9 months. I developed an autoimmune condition and stomach digestion issues as a result.

Did my first set of chemo
gemzar
carboplatin and can’t remember the third one (chemo brain). Oh and Avastin. Series complete in November 17. Kept taking Avastin so I’ve been on that for over a year. CA 125 went from a high of 75 to a low of 9.
