ANYONE HAD MAINTENANCE/SALVAGE CHEMO
Hi, Brief background. My wife diagnosed nearly 2 years ago with High Grade Serous (3c) - had normal hyster, then 6 x 3 weekly carbo/taxol but CA125 never went below 300. Had 5 months without symptoms, then two months later had 4 x weekly sessions of taxol but CA125 continued to climb. Then had 8 sessions

Quick recurrence
Hi... I have been so positive in this whole journey since diagnosis at Christmas 2011.. Indeed started chemo on Xmas day! Had 6 cycles of weekly taxol and carboplatin with surgery in between to remove the offending ovary and all reproductive organs and the secondary tumours in omentum, rectum and appendix

Does anyone have any experience of the after efects of cisplatin?
It is likely to be my next chemo.. after weekly taxol which was not really effective. I have not had a platinum based drug for 2 years and cisplatin is being suggested rather than carboplatin because I have reacted to the latter in the past though was still able to have it in the slow regime described

Another failed chemo regime!
Just back from the hospital where I got my results of my scan after 8 weeks on weekly taxol. This unfortunately hasn't worked at all and tumours have grown considerably and one now stuck to my colon. My consultant wanted to put me forward for a trial they are doing at Addenbrookes but because I have

Marker down. Hoorah!
Hi all and sending you my love. xx After four rounds of weekly taxol, to treat a 2nd recoccurence, my marker is down to 38. It is such a relief to know its working. I dont know till tomorrow how many more my Oncologist will give me. Apart from hair loss, heartburn and watery eyes, I have been lucky

Back again!
My latest ct scan has shown more enlarged lymph nodes in my chest and abdomen, and CA125 has risen to 470, so my second line chemo regimen (Etopocide orally) has not been effective. First line chemo (6 X Carboplatin and Taxol every 3 weeks) was successful, but remission only lasted 4 months. Onc says

Recurrence - expected but now confirmed
Mum had her second check-up today (following first line treatment which finished in March '12) and her oncologist confirmed that the cancer is back. We were partly expecting this as Mum had a pleurodesis procedure in early July following a collapsed lung caused by fluid build up in her chest. Her recent

But I can now explain just why I have not been in touch and and have neglected friends on here. Somehow I find it so difficult to come on and post and deal with other peoples problems

Calcified Tumours
Does anyone else have tumours that have calcified, as well as ordinary ones? I have both sorts in my pelvis and a calcified one above my collarbone. I also have an ordinary para aortic (?) one and another on my back (rib). My Oncologist says I am unusual but I thought it usual for tumours to calcify

Bad news today
Went for scan results today to see if my second line chemo is working, unfortunately it is not and it was apparently their best hope of giving me a little while longer. Will now be having weekly taxol as my cancer is platinum resistant. Have been told that 30 percent chance of this working, but if it

Hi everyone - has anyone out there taken part in the PETROC trial? If so, I was wondering how it went and what side effects there were.
I have just finished 4 cycles of carbo-taxol and have date for surgery early in July. As long as the surgery goes well enough, i shall be randomised to one of three strands of treatment in the trial. One strand is just IV chemo, the other two include IV and IP ( intraperitoneal ) chemo. Further info

Cancer Coming Back!! Please give any advice on Weekly Taxol.
