Saw my oncologist today
I have stage 4, 2c OC. Saw my onc today I am on 18 weekly taxol I was hoping he might say that there was a likelihood of a remission, but instead he said I would be on chemo more or less all the time. Does anyone with similar to me have had a remission, I feel very depressed I know there is no cure but

Hi All I was initially diagnosed Sept 11 with stage 1a, following surgery and was prescribed 6 sessions taxol/carbo 3 weekly. After 3 sessions I was admited to hosp with high temp and low white blood count, at this point saw different Dr who stopped the taxol as due to the early stage she said it

Update on mum, CA 125 lower, but CT scan not clear.
So mum got to see the oncologist today, to discuss the difficulty she is having with the chemo side effects. He is going to reduce the dosage of the taxol. Her CA125 is much improved, so they asked the Onc why they needed to continue the chemo and he told then that whilst the debunking had gone well,

Has anyone shaved their head before their hair dropped out?
I'll be starting Taxol on the 31st and thought after the first dose and wig acquired I would shave my head. The reason for this is I think it will make me feel a little in control of what is happening to me. I'm also considering shaving during treatment as the hair doesn't grow back until treatment's

The carboplatin didn't work.
Just had an onc appointment. At my last ctscan in September there was no sign of disease, but the results from the ctscan a fortnight ago are really bad. It's spread to several places in my liver, and there's a large tumour just south of the liver and a smaller one at the top of the vagina. I've gone
