Experiences with

Taxol

Any one with success stories of Taxol? What are the side effects? Many Thanks Losh

Finished my 1st lot of treatment carbo/taxol and avastin in November but my scan results were not good so now I’m not curable but treatable I’m starting weekly taxol with 1 week off can anyone tell me what side effects will be like with this treatment thanks 🦋

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 .

Morning , I’m on taxol and avastin weekly . I’m having difficulty with my veins . I decided to have a port fitted rather than a pick line . Has anyone had a port fitted when having avastin . I’m worried about wound healing . Thanks xx

Any of your experiences with Taxol welcome. Thanks!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

They want me to do weekly taxol and Bevacizumab. However, after chatting they’ve basically said that I’ve got about 12/18 months with or without the treatment. I have directly asked about time and quality and quantity.

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.

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 am about to start chemo carbo/taxol for a first recurrence HGOC. Please could you tell me how quickly Ca125 starts to come down. Is it from the first cycle or is it further into the course?

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.

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?
