Hope even when diagnosed stage 4
I was diagnosed with stage 4 with lung spread following an episode of pleural effusion 4 years and a Ca125 of over 6000. To cut a long story short I was given a terminal diagnosis with palliative care only. Lucky for me I saw a wonderful oncologist who commenced taxol and carboplatin chemo. I responded

I'm 4 years down the line and half way through my 5th line chemo of weekly taxol. Yesterday I had the results of my half way ct scan and it showed a good response. I HOPE that it gives others in a similar position to me HOPE too.

Is it likely that taking aspirin may help families with BRCA2 gene mutation?
Hi All, I have been watching the news and see that taking aspirin is likely to help people with a history of bowel cancer. I had breast cancer at the age of 32 and ovarian cancer at the age of 52. It is Stage 3C. I responded well to taxol and carboplatin but had a relapse in March and thankfully

Horrible day today!
I was diagnosed with OC Stage 1 (grade 3 cells) last September. Following a full hysterectomy I had 6 sessions of carboplatin and taxol to blast a few 'floating' cells. I went into remission at the end of February this year with a CA125 of 7 and a clear CT scan. However, after experiencing some pain

six-month post chemo CA125 result. And Avastin. Is it available in the UK?
I keep an eye on this site on behalf of a very dear friend, diagnosed stage 3c last August. She and I find your questions and answers a constant source of support; I hope nobody minds me asking something on her behalf. She is about to get her latest CA125 result, post radical hysterectomy and 6 months

Mums Reaction to Taxol, now been given Caelyx
Mum (71) had a severe reaction to Taxol last Friday on her 2nd treatment, saw the oncologist today and they have said no more Taxol. So this afternoon she had a course of Caelyx given over 2.5 hours, slower than normal to be on the safe side. Mum seemed to be okay, just hoping this will work for her

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

Taxol
Hi, On second cycle of Paclotaxel/Carboplatin for PPC after 7 months clear. started having bad reaction to Carbo so they have stopped it. Recent scan showed that the Paxol seems to be working on its own. I asked about Cisplatin instead and GOOD news, they will keep it for next time (if need be).

Topotecan
Have just been told that carboplatin alone isn't working for me (previously had carboplatin and taxol which didn't work either) and that my CA125 is now 2000. Have been recommended to try Topotecan. Does anyone have any experience of trying this and what was outcome?

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.
