Sotalol after ablation
I am sure the answers will vary from person to person, but, in general, were many of you eventually able to come off of your medications? I’m not talking about anticoagulants. I’m speaking of the anti-arrhythmia’s and/or the beta blockers, calcium blockers etc. My ablation is scheduled for October 24

Im having a cardio ablation on October 24th
So the one thing I’m worried about is that 4 days before the cardio ablation, I have to change from Sotalol to metropolol. I’m a little worried because a while back, my regular cardiologist told me that if I ever have to switch from Sotalol, I would have to do so with a hospital stay, Now I’m being switched

Home again
After a 3 night hospital stay I’m home again. My heart is still flipping in and out of AFib and Flutter but at a much lower rate. I’m now on Digoxin as well the maximum dose of Sotalol. I feel a bit zonked but I guess that is to be expected. The cardiologist said not to run any marathons this week (just

CA125 Rising Even with Chemo
I’m struggling with a recurrence right now and feeling defeated. I’ve had Avastin 3 times (3 weeks apart) and carbo and taxol every week for the past 4 weeks. After the first treatment of Avastin my CA125 went from 211 to 157. I was encouraged and feeling good about treatments. Now, after 2 more treatments

Six-month checkup with EP
6 month checkup with EP today. EKG was fine. But I have gained some weight over the summer and BP was a little high. So I will be doubling lisinopril for a while. When I told him I have been having little runs of tachycardia with exercise, he decided to keep me on sotalol for at least another 6 months

Back in A and E again...
Went to bed at about midnight and about half an hour later woke up with good old paroxysmal afib- most of my episodes have been at night. Initially my heart was beating at about 130bpm, but after much deep breathing it slowed to around 80. Fairly acceptable you might think, but it was still very irregular

Weekly taxol regimen
Can I canvas opinion on how you were administered weekly taxol chemo for recurrence? Was it weekly, every week for 18 weeks Or Every week for 3 weeks, then one week off ? I’m talking about WEEKLY TAXOL only here Thanks all X

Ablation
Hello I am fairly new on this forum. I have been reading all of the posts over the past couple of days and I do not seem to be finding anyone who has anything good to say about having a Ablation which is making me feel slightly scared as I have my procedure coming in the next few weeks. At the moment

Pamidronate & Zolendronic Acid
Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts on being infused with either Pamidronate (Areida in US) or Zolendronic Acid? I have osteoporosis so of course they want to administer one of the above in between the Carbo and Taxol chemos. However once these bisphonates are in, their in and the thought of persistent

Sotalol versus bisoprolol
Hi, I would be interested to hear thoughts on my experience. I have had AF for around 13 years and latterly with flutter. Last January I was changed to Sotalol, 80 -40-80 every day after having severe AF for some months, on and off. All seemed ok until the last few months, I have a Kardia so am able

Avastin joint pain and stiffness
I have had chemo - carboplatin and taxol and have now been on Avastin only for six months. I am getting increasingly stiff joints. I find I can't get out of bed and stand up easily. I went to clinic today and saw a new doctor who said he had not heard of this as a side effect but he would 'go and look

Seeking Cisplatin advice
Hello ladies. Im hoping for some advice/reassurance. I’m currently two thirds through a three weekly regime of six cisplatin and taxol. The fourth dose floored me, left me so tired and weak that I spent five days in bed, only getting up to stagger a couple of paces to the loo. Has anyone else found cisplatin

Hoping the third time is the charm
So Ibrance did not work. My oncologist switched me to gemcitabine and carboplatin which also has not worked. Cancer markers have not increased but my lymph nodes and nodules on the skin over my breast have gotten bigger. She has now switched me to taxol which I took for my original breast cancer and

Low grade serous rollercoaster
I rarely post on here but read all your posts. I was diagnosed in 2012 at 40 years old stage 3B low grade serous carcinoma so should be used to all this by now! I have had 3 chemo’s during that time 2013/2015, 2 x carboplatin only and last year had weekly taxol until July. The taxol last year didn

My first post but sad news
My partner Veronica was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian brca1 cancer in June of 2016. She had been having symptoms of shortness of breath and poor appetite and feeling bloated. The gp gave her an inhaler and some omeprazole to see if it helped, which it didn’t. She eventually had an ultrasound which revealed

Weekly taxol
Hi all - I’ve had 12 of 18 weekly taxol - and every 3rd week Carbo is included. Have noticed past couple weeks even after resting I still have extreme fatigue. This past week chemo was cancelled due to an infected tooth and a necessary root canal. I thought I’d feel stronger with a week off from chemo

Major issues on GemCarbo and losing weight
Hi Ladies, I was diagnosed in November 2015. I have done great until now. Eribulin was a cake walk, Ibrance and Faslodex I felt like i didn’t even have cancer. Even Taxol for 9 months was easy for me. Now I’ve had three cycles of Gemcarbo and I feel like I’m back when I was diagnosed. I vomit
