Serous papillary-what chemo works?
Looking for people that have this and have had successful chemo, if so, what chemo? I had 3 cycles of taxol/carbo before my debulking which didnt do anything to shrink the tumours, however I had many and they were large. Ive had my surgery and have a 'flap' of OC left on my diaphragm. They said theres

Strange but true
I'm having my 4th round of chemo since being diagnosed. Each round has consisted of 2 drugs.Platinum + taxol or caelyx. But this round, I am having platinum alone. My ca 125 is coming down faster this time than last time.I assumed I was having a higher dose of platinum this time, but asked my consultant

The jam jar is getting fuller!
Like so many of us my news today was not brilliant. My ca 125 was raised from 380 to just over 1000. I was expecting it as over this last 5 years I have come to understand my body. I had 5th line chemo last october ... weekly taxol which brought my chemo down from 4000 to 380. The oncologist was very

The differences between serous papillary and clear cell?
Hiah, I had serous pappillary on my ovary and had carbo and taxol - I recently found out I also had clear cell in my uterus but no one else has actually spoken about this to me. When I asked why? - I was told that Serous and clear cell are very similar but I understand that clear cell doesn`t respond

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.

Since Dose 2 of Taxol & Carboplatin, I get the most awful pain in my back - acid reflux I'm assuming which seems to last for 2/3 days.
This reflux pain is worse than any I have had before and it is so disabling around 5/6 days post-chemo. I already take Omeprazole daily and have started taking Ranitidine in addition, which helps very slightly. Any advise please?

Hi can anyone give me their experiances of Caelyx chemo. I have had Carboplatin and Taxol twice since being diagnosed in 2008
However since finishing my last chemo in December 2010 I have new symptoms now and have been advised that Caelyx would be the next chemo suitable for me. I have decided that I still have to fight on and feel more positive now that last week after the visit to the oncologist. Some insight into Caelyx

Maintenance once in remission
My mum was diagnosed in Nov 2010 with stage 3c and has since undergone chemo (weekly taxol with carboplatin every third week), surgery and now more chemo before hopefully getting into remission. Fingers crossed!!! What an awful time this has been as I'm sure you are all so very aware of. I have just
