Taxol
Hi everyone I finished my second line chemo (carboplatin/taxol) on 16 February and go today to see my oncologist about the results. I know my CA125 was still 177 by the end of the 5th chemo so I'm feeling slightly apprehensive about what I'm going to be told. On my third chemo the taxol was reduced

Just be told have got to have 2ndchemo again
I was wondering if anyone else has had carboplatin and gemcitabine ? I had taxol and carboplatin last year which was told had worked well but the oc has returned. Onc said I couldn't have taxol as it was under a year I was on it. Asked about avast in but told only for 1st line chemo. Is there any hope

Impact of OC on lungs / AVASTIN / Dealing with pain
Hello ladies, I am posting this message on behalf of my mother. She is 73 years old and was recently diagnosed with OC (in Dec 2011) - stage 4, grade 3. I live in England but my mother lives in France (we are both French). A friend recommended this website and I have found all your posts/messages

What after taxol/carbo fails?
Taxol carbo didnt work to shrink my tumours, Im being referred to the Marsden and wondered what I might be offered next for slow growing OC. They have mentioned I might go on a trial.

Is this the end of the road? Please can anyone offer any suggestions?
My Mum aged 71 has had OC since Oct 2010, she had Carboplatin 4 rounds then debulking surgery 7th Feb 2011, followed by another 3 rounds of Carboplatin. She relapsed within 6 weeks and started Taxol, 2nd infusion she passed out as soon as they started the infusion so they stoped this line of treatment

Stage 3 but low grade
I have been told this by my onc. I have a large tumour in the pelvic area (Ive blogged before but cant find posts) and spread to omentum. She thinks that the taxol carbo 'might not be' doing much because she thinks its been a slow growing cancer. I have a ct this thurs and the results on the 2nd feb

options after carboplatin and taxol
Hello I’m posting on behalf of my mother who has had 2 recurrences of ovarian cancer and we’ve just found that the weekly taxol that she’s been having isn’t working. This is really demoralising and I was interested in finding out if anyone has been in a similar position and what other treatment you

Scan result-no shrinkage but surgery going ahead!
Hiya I had my mid treatment scan results today (had 3 cycles of taxol carbo) and my tumours havent changed at all. Onc thought this would be the case as my biopsy revealed low grade (yet Im stage 3 with spread to omentum). She said the surgeon is going to see me in 2 weeks time to chat about the surgery

Has anyone experienced trouble with their fingernails?
I have been on weekly Taxol/Carbo and because my nails are very tender and there is a chance I might lose some of them, I have been taken off Taxol.

Anyone else get really cold legs and feet (especially in the night)? Plus, do any of you get woken up with pins and needles in your hands?
I take warfarin, thyroxine and sotalol.

Pre-chemo session blood test failure
What is the significance of one's blood test being insufficiently back up to the necessary levels for next chemo session? I am on carboplatin for the third time in several years (previous two was taxol as well) but this is the first time my chemo has been delayed due to this blood situation. Seeing my

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in March
Diagnosed with oc in march 2011 and told possibility of tumours in the liver. Had chemo carboplatin and taxol, six sessions. Went to see oncologist today who confirmed that the tumours in the liver had shrunk and were dormant. Told that i would probably need more treatment in future for oc as it would

Would like to hear experiences of anyone who has had multiple chemo's over a number of years. Am on 3rd line chemo..
I've had the full surgery. Chemo worked well with first two courses, this one is on track also to get me into remission for the third time - each time CA in single figures by the end of the course. Apart from second line taxol problems, few side effects so very lucky. But as the pattern of chemo/remission

Caelyx followed by Carboplatin and Taxol
I've been advised that I could have Caelyx followed by Carboplatin and Taxol further down the line. Wondered if anyone had gone down this route and if what the advantages and disadvantages were.
