Confirmed papillary serous carcinoma Stage 4B
Start chemo seven cycles of 21days, Day 1 Carboplatin and
Paclitaxel
( Taxol) then 20 days and the next cycle starts. Side effects explained think I might get a wig as hair loss is almost certain. Otherwise onward and upwards and lets get this show started!

Trials
You find out which group you have been put in once signed up. 2 trial groups involve taking Bevacizumab along with carboplatin and
paclitaxel
and one group does not have bevacizumab involved. Could anyone tell me if they have heard of these type of trials.

It's back
The plan is to have a port put in early next week and next Thursday to start a combination of Avastin and
Paclitaxel
. I didn't have a port for my previous 27 chemos but my veins are fried. I am nervous about the port. How does it feel to have one in? How have people felt on Avastin?

Antihistamine on Paclitaxel
Hi I'm on weekly taxol at the moment and have to have an intravenous dose of piriton before it starts half an hour before along with a steroid. Taxol can cause an allergic reaction which is why it has to be done apparently. Now I'm feeling well , I'm 44 but the piriton knocks me for 6 and I feel like

Cancer History
Had 6 rounds of carboplatin/
paclitaxel
. I had my papillary serous carcinoma tumor analyzed by Foundation One for genetic components--very helpful for future treatments and to join specific clinical trials. Rising CA-125 and CT scan confirm start of ascites, given 6 rounds of Opdivo.

Herclon not paid by Insurance Company(TPA) saying Hospitalization is not required for taking it,so rejected.
When she was taking Trastuzumab (Herclon) along with other chemo drug
Paclitaxel
then all claims are paid by E-Meditek but now when she is taking only Herclon, they refused my claims saying that " HOSPITALIZATION IS NOT JUSTIFIED ONLY FOR TAKING HERCLON INJECTION".

Please kindly help choose chemotherapy and location
This doctor recommends AC every 2 weeks for 4 cycles and
Paclitaxel
every week for 12 weeks with Herceptin every 3 weeks. The
Paclitaxel
seems very aggressive and not sure about it.

Delay in herceptin dose
So now, my mother has completed total 17 shots of herceptin (4 with
paclitaxel
and 13 after
paclitaxel
). Here i want to add that she is also taking Tamoxifen 20mg after the completion of chemotherapy. I hope I am able to clarify the situation. Please let me know if something is not clear.

Day after diagnosis...
The first being Carboplatin on its own or second option is Carboplatin and
Paclitaxel
together. Does anyone have any experience with these drugs? Any advice would be really appreciated at this time. Thank you in advance

Questions
I have completed 5 rounds of N-ACT ( 4 Adrimycin + 1
Paclitaxel
) with 3 more taxol to go. After my 4th chemo, I do not feel the lump anymore and my onc did not advise for a scan as he is happy with my response to chemo. Please answer the below: 1. Should I insist for a scan midway?
