I had hoped to start weekly
paclitaxel
today. My ca125 has almost doubled to over 360 in the last 3 weeks but unfortunately Coronavirus has put pay to me having chemo in the foreseeable future. The risks of me catching Covid19 outweigh the benefits of weekly

I’m new here
I had the ‘standard’ six cycles of Carbo/
Paclitaxel
followed by 25 sessions of external radiotherapy which I finished at the end of December. I’ve been very lucky and weathered it all well so far but also know that the real stress starts now!

Cabazitaxel
He can offer me
paclitaxel
or a place on a trial with Cabazitazel which is being used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Just wanted to ask if anyone has experience of having cabazitaxel and if so how did it go?

Hi everyone I’m looking for some advise my mum has primarily peritoneal cancer it’s come back after a year they have started her on carboplatin she can’t tolerate
paclitaxel

Has any woman been treated with Docetaxel for gynecological cancer?
I am considering the Docetaxel BUT, I wonder whether the full dosage of
Paclitaxel
would have made a made a difference during first chemo and maybe I should try the
Paclitaxel
again. Thanks for your response and support.

paclitaxel
& avastin I think) with surgery in between. I found out I am BRCA1.

In focus: managing the effects of chemotherapy - neuropathy
The chemotherapy drugs most likely to cause neuropathy are platinum-based drugs such as carboplatin and the taxane family of drugs, including
paclitaxel
(Taxol).

Help with Hot flushes..
Since having
Paclitaxel
I've been getting many hot flushes 😑 I read that vitamin E and Folic acid helps, have they worked for anyone else? Any tips that can help I'd be very grateful. Thanks Sami 😊

Is anyone taking NSAIDs with their Taxols? It seems that research indicates that the effectiveness of Taxols may be extended.
Research indicates that where
Paclitaxel
(one of the taxols) loses effectiveness, or we become resistant to it by building up certain proteins in our system that fight the effect of
Paclitaxel
, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, licofelone and others that in turn fight these these

Query - re Diagnosis is 3C high grade serous carcinoma of fallopian tube what are the options for treatment?
Is
Paclitaxel
& Carboplatin her only option? A friend's mum works at the careoncologyclinic in London and she has suggested I also look into this as well but am unsure. Has anyone else looked into doing such things along side treatment too?
