CT scan results today
Hello Ladies, just to let you know the oncologist rang with my CT scan results today. The Taxol obviously stopped working a few weeks ago and the cancer is progressing slowly but surely. I don’t yet know the new dimensions of the tumours but the tumours in my liver have increased. I’m going back on

Latest update
Hi Ladies Meeting with consultant gave the news I was dreading. Weekly Taxol had not worked and the scan showed slow progression of cancer. No more chemo options but given Letrozole to try and slow things down. She is contacting another hospital to discuss any possible trial options. Still hoping! Hope

Sotalol red flag drug reactions
I’m on Sotalol, have been for a lot of years now. It was originally prescribed for SVT, but I’ve developed PAF since 2014, after a nasty coughing virus and the Drs are keeping me on it. I’ve been fine on it, but what worries me, is the huge amount of drugs that Sotalol reacts with and are red flag reactions

Newly diagnosed Afib. How long to wait for test results ? Covid ? Reassurance anybody ?
Hi I'm a 35 year old mother of 3 and on the 31st December had a terrible shock when I woke in the night to get a glass of water and out of nowhere just fainted on the kitchen floor. When I came round my heart was pounding out of my chest. I went to A&E after 4 hours of this and an ecg confirmed a fib

3 month post ablation-update
Morning, Thankyou so much to you all for your advice. I got in touch with the arrhythmia nurses at Barts. I have now been advised that they are upping my sotalol dose , however thankfully after 6 days of afib my heart has gone back into NSR overnight. Prof Schilling has now said he will do another ablation

Peripheral Neuropathy
After 12 weekly infusions of Taxol, I had mild peripheral neuropathy. 6 months after that ended, I have some nails growing back and some still dying. Is this unusual? I also would like to share tips about dealing with it. For instances, I use an old plastic card instead of my fingernails for opening

Next steps on recurrence
Hello Ladies, I hope you are all feeling as well as you can be. Can I ask for a bit of advice? Diagnosed PPC Stage 3c Nov 19, finished first line chemo just Carboplatin (reaction to Taxol after 1 session) last May. Full debulking surgery in March, NED in June, as BRCA1 went straight onto Olaparib. CA

The next step
Hi Nice ladies, I have been on Taxol but because of side effects decided to try something else. The neuropathy seems to be increasing with this. Doc agrees, suggested other options; Eribulin, Tamoxifen or Gemzar. I am leaning toward Tamoxifen but need to think about it. If you have any input I welcome

Sotalol , different companies
This sounds bizarre but I started taking Sotalol Teva 80 mg two months ago and after an initial difficult week as my body got used to the drug felt very well . For my second months supply I went to a different chemist that gave me Sotalol Biogaran . I know they are exactly the same drug but I am now

RISE IN CA 125
Shell Shocked After 14 of 18 weekly Taxol I was told today that my CA 125, which had recently dropped from 110 to 11, has now risen from 11 to 24 during the last 3 weeks. I don’t have to tell most of you ladies what that feels like. The oncologist says it looks like the Taxol has stopped working. He

PVCs and roller-coaster Bisoprolol. Need advice, please
My daughter has 24% of PVCs but NO symptom, so she has to rely on Zio Path to check her PVCs burden. Sep 2019, Bisoprolol 2,5mg/day. PVCs went down to 12%. Nov 2019, they increased to 5mg/day hoping that it'd lower further number of PVCs. Unfortunately, it went up to 22% (!) Dec 2019, back to 2,5mg

Suddenly feeling faint
Am on sotalol 80mg twice a day. Have atrial fibrillation and ectopic beats but sometimes and without warning I suddenly come over very faint as if I'm going to pass out (very frightening) and then my heart goes like the clappers. Any suggestions please on what could be the cause?

Halfway thru Taxol Treatment woot woot...
Well Hello.... Just finished my 8th treatment of my weekly of 16 taxol, and not feeling that bad. As of now I get really tired on Sunday and an occasional bloody nose, will take that tradeoff because my CA 125 went down again to 11 from 17 three weeks ago. Still taking Avastin, which currently is bi-weekly

Caelyx experiences of it. Covid vaccine question too.
Hi, my Mum was diagnosed with OC May 2019, After Carbo taxol (which left her poorly and hospitalized a couple of times). Her CA125 levels have steadily risen, now 1400, she is down for Chemo again to hopefully get rid of some remaining cells, Caelyx (Liposomal Doxorubicin) is now the drug of choice.

CA125 Going the Wrong Way!
Hi Ladies Just two more weeks of Taxol to go. CA125 came down rapidly at first from 700 to 59, but unfortunately over the last four weeks it has begun to rise. Up by 4 three weeks ago, then 5 the following week. Had my week off then CA125 went up by 25. Realise that this is still quite low but hair
