Experiences with

Taxol

She also said I can come off the taxol following my sixth cycle or stay on it . I have started my fourth cycle last week . Just wondering has anyone else stopped taxol following their sixth cycle . If it is working why stop it if I’m tolerating it or does it stop working at that stage .

Hi everyone, I have started taxol three weeks ago. I was supposed to start Avastin at the same time but I had dental work done and it’s on hold until November. I’m stage 4B ovarian and I’m really struggling with the taxol . I’m really weak and fatigued. Anyone any experience of this . thanks xx

Any of your experiences with Taxol welcome. Thanks!

Had hysterectomy in August 2022, finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy (carbo & taxol in Jan 2023, and finished radiation in April 2024. Recurrence in Nov 2024. started chemo on Jan 17, 2025. I’m a wreck! But love this treatment team!

So now it taxol for 12 weeks. Once a week and 4th week off. I’ve read most of the posts on here relating to taxol and I appreciate all the information. I guess I’m just looking for a 👍 from everyone. I always say “Just another mountain to climb!!” Anyway thanks for listening.

Well , I had progression on my Liver and my onc wants to put me on Taxol for 3-4 months. I was told I could cold cap. I can also choose Trucap / Faslodex . I’ve been on Ibrance , Piqray, Enhertu and Kisqali . I don’t know why but Taxol sounds terrifying

Either way Caelyx is apparently not for me :( Anyone experience with weekly taxol ? thank you dear ladies 🙏🍀

I completed 15 rounds of radiation along with simultaneous weekly infusions of Taxol. I have had stents put in my stomach, have difficulty eating and are in pain or discomfort daily. Is there anyone out there who has had a similar experience and can share options, suggestions on next steps.

I am wondering if I will lose my hair again like I did with Taxol. My oncologist said most likely I will along with nausea but I have read that some people have less side effects than with Carbo/Taxol. Thank you so much for your support. Marietta

I was given a choice because I tolerated the carbo/taxol considering the common side effects I had which were nausea, low appetite, tiredness, low hemoglobin and loss of hair was devastating but Not to say these are a walk in the park side effects but I think I was ok with carbo/taxol.

Hello ladies, I tried to have my first chemo session yesterday with no luck - had pretty bad allergic reaction to taxol immediately after starting (difficulty breathing, itching, tingling, threw up 3 times, low blood pressure, etc.). I was basically out for about 30 - 45min.

Hello, I have HGSOC now grade 4 spread to liver abdomen and bowel and have just finished 6 months of weekly taxol with a week's break every 3 weeks. CT scan shows good result with nodules stable or have shrunk.

I am now going to start a new treatment which I think is Gem Taxol and Avastin. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this as I am hoping this new treatment works.

She had Carbo/Taxol which looked promising until a recurrence. Caelyx. Then Carbo/Taxol again. In June 2017 she had her final chemo and had been NED ever since. Her CA125 has been between 9-11. She had her latest six month blood test recently and the CA125 has risen to 44.

I had seven treatments of Taxol in 2022, but I couldn’t tolerate it. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

My Dr. is now suggesting Taxol (Paclitaxel) IV Chemo treatment. Anyone have experience with this drug? I’m a bit embarrassed to say the hair loss is so discouraging, along with the other side effects of IV Chemo. Sure could use some encouraging news.

Hi beautiful ladies, This is my first recurrence and I am back on carbo / taxol and now I cannot tolerate the carbo after my 9th cycle so My oncologist will be switching me to cisplatin for next 3 more cycles. Has anyone been on this chemo drug?

I’m a bit nervous even though I’ve been on carbo/taxol and niraparib . Had a tough time with it but don’t know what to expect for carbo/caelyx. I hear different experiences from everyone.

I started with carbo/taxol and had surgery in between. Instant recurrence so when on keytruda/lenvima. Currently on clinical trial acr 368 and have failed. Moving to doxil/bevacizumab in a wk. Definitely been a rough journey.
