Stop pursuing treatment, or weekly taxol
This is the latest options my oncologist put to me this Fri. I'm hoping you lovely ladies will help with your wonderful perspectives and provide any close experiences you have had to my own predicament. 1st, some background info. I was first diagnosed with OC after 2 plural effusion drains on right lung

Decisions decisions...? Help!
Hello friends... just need your thoughts and any advice please. I have finished 18 weeks of Taxol but sadly cancer is off and growing again despite the half way good news :-( So now I’ve been advised by prof that I should start ASAP on Cisplatin / Gemzar ( despite twice having Carbo and it not working

Petscan results not great.
I received my petscan on patient portal. Have not seen oncologist about it but we do get used to reading them. Mine still shows progression. Lucky it seems to be in bones only. My oncologist wants to go to Taxol IV next. I was going to try verzenio first but now I can see that hormone treatments are

First, the good news: The results of my 1 year post surgery colonoscopy show no colon cancer. Unfortunately, the results of my 1 year post surgery contrasting CT scan show that the ovarian cancer has recurred. I’m somewhere between relieved and sad because now the waiting is over, but I can't find

Rising CA125
I wondered if anyone has experienced rising CA125 with no symptoms, I have been feeling fine but find it hard not to get anxious when the marker is rising, although my oncologist is very reassuring. First diagnosed in 2015 - hysterectomy followed by carboplatin and taxol for 6 sessions, returned 2017

On Sotalol and Apixaban for PAF
I read on here that some folks are on Pill in The Pocket,; I went into Resus 18 months ago with severe AF, and stayed in hospital for a few days until my AF settled. I was prescribed Sotalol twice a day and following a consultant review was discharged to GP. I wonder why I am on drugs constantly rather

Should I be this panicked update
Thank you so much lovely ladies for all of your support. I saw my oncologist on Wednesday and she was lovely and listened to all of my concerns and worries. She gave me a thorough examination and could feel no ascites or lumps. My abdomen was very soft. She thought that my symptoms were not cancer related

An update post Taxol - advice needed please!
Hello all - I am sorry to have been leading you all - as well as myself - up the garden path.. those half way scan results seem a long way away when I was ecstatic it had been working so well. Sadly my final scan showed it all on the move again and have more around pelvic / sigmoid colon / stomach /

After 18 weeks of chemo
Hi all - last week I completed 18 consecutive weeks of Taxol (and carbo every 3rd week). I took booster shots each week for white count; had a transfusion for red; and drank daily cup of papaya leaf tea with addition of papaya extract for platelets. Now I am focusing on blood counts improving to where

Overthinking or not?
Following diagnosis (Stage 3) I had carbo / taxol and surgery. All went well after treatment finished But after 3 mths there were a few nodules showing on my peritoneum so had Caelyx but that didn’t do anything so now on Gemcitabine. CA125 has dropped but talking to a friend whose partner recently passed

From PAF to permanent? My worst Afib yet.
My worst Afib yet. Yesterday at about 6pm I had a bout of PAF. Heartbeat was iregular and just under 100bpm. Took an extra Sotalol as advised and went back to normal rhythm after a couple of hours or so. Went to bed at around midnight, and, after dozing off, woke with Afib, *again*. After another Sotalol

Feeling a little down
Hi ladies, on Friday i started my mop up chemo after my TAH and debulking. It seems so much harder this time than the previous 4 sessions of carbo/ taxol. I’m so tired and sick, the heartburn is new and unpleasant and I am getting sharp stabbing painful in my tummy. Strange that as there is nothing left

Side effects
hi, A quick question - have just had drugs changed (again) to 5mg Bisoprolol p.d. which has helped with the acute tiredness I had before whilst on Sotalol. But the breathlessness is through the stratosphere. Also itchy head scalp and skin. Are these common side effects? I agree with the person who said

UP DATE ON SECOND OPINION
Hi my lovely friends, well I had my second opinion with the prof , as he said it was hard for him to advice as he did not have all my medical history, but going on what he knows and I'm also feeling a lot better then when I last saw my oncologist , becourse I've been off all treatment and in palliative

Update from Laura - Early Recurrence Confirmed
Hi everyone, Yesterday was the Oncology appointment I have been breathlessly awaiting since my CA-125 started rising 6 weeks ago.

EP appointment update
I saw my EP this morning who was really concerned about the dramas I’ve been having (for those who don’t know, I had an AFib & flutter ablation 3 1/2 weeks ago followed by a 3 night stay in hospital 2 weeks later when my EP was overseas). It seems I’m in the 1% club. He said about 25% of people have
