Previously: Carbo/

Ten years later….
Had a total hysterectomy and weekly carbo/
taxol
on ICON8. Now I’m 77 and exactly 10 years NED with no recurrences, (but two hernia ops and lots of mesh, incontinence, neuropathy in my feet and curly grey hair. However, all are better than the alternative!)

Radiotherapy for OC in lymph nodes
I'm on my fourth recurrence and currently on weekly
taxol
, but two lymph nodes are still growing, though my CA125 has come down a lot from the start of treatment, but has been very erratic in recent weeks.

Bad weekend!
I have appts at the cancer center that I go to, about 50 miles away in a medium sized city and the hospital doctor was going to talk with my onc about waiting til next Tuesday for my next
Taxol
treatment as it could have a bad impact on the anti-biotics I'm on for the pneumonia.

carbo/gem
I was diagnosed high grade stage 3c peritoneal in Autumn 2021, I have had carbo/
taxol
/avastin, debulking surgery. Followed by avastin alone which did not work, then carbo/caelyx which worked very well. I have had just over a year on Niraparib but sadly it is no longer working.

Hair loss on taxol
The plan was to administer the
Taxol
slowly for 15 minutes, stop it for 15 minutes, then do a second slow 15 minutes and if all went well, speed it up.. After nearly 15 minutes, I got a dull achey pain in my pelvis. I toldd them, of course and they stopped the
taxol
and had the PN examine me.

Treatment plan questions
So now they propose 2 treatment approaches - 1 longer infusion of carbo/
taxol
every 21 days for 6 cycles or weekly 2-3 h infusions at 1/3 dose for 18 weeks. They offer the cold cap only for the second treatment as apparently it’s difficult to keep it longer than 3 hours.

Doing well on Taxol. TM down by half!
It stopped working and I've been on
Taxol
for about 5 or 6 infusions. CA 27-29 dropped from 725 in January to 355 on Tuesday. So I'm really going to be able to celebrate that anniversary next week! I have hand-foot syndrome. Very little feeling in feet and hands.

exciting clinical trial
Xeloda seemed to be working for me but not for long and now I'm on
Taxol
. My CA27-29 has come down by half (no where near normal) and the neuropathy is getting worse in spite of lower dose, so another option is appealing!

cross road
The test will be when the
Taxol
is discontinued and whether the Herceptin/Perjeta is the right move or not.. Has anyone else ever dealt with something like this? Thank you for listening 💕

Chemo question
I had my first
taxol
/carboplatin treatment last week. I had an allergic reaction shortly after starting. Then on days 3-6 I had severe sharp pains in my bones in my back and legs that broke through my pain meds. Now on day 8 I am still struggling with pain, bloating and nauseousness.

I’m still here!
I had a full Hysterectomy and 6 Carbo/
Taxol
chemos. I do have some numbness and peripheral nerve pain from the chemo but No other treatment! I have been able to enjoy many things, seeing my grandchildren grow, look after my elderly mum etc. Each day is a blessing.

hair starting to fall out after 3rd Taxol infusion
How have you "shaved" your heads? My head started feeling tender a couple of days ago and yesterday I noticed more hair than usual stuck in my hairbrush. Do you just get it cut real short until it all falls out? Ism there something we can do for the sensitivity of our scalp? I never thought about

Trodelvy after one year update
In February 2022 I had a port installed and we switched to IV
Taxol
. Again side effects were manageable with your advice and my numbers CA15 (which is important for me) dropped from 8000 to normal range very quickly.

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo &
taxol
plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost!

COVID
I"ve phoned both onc and rad onc and am waiting to hear back about starting
Taxol
tomorrow and rads to lower spine on Thursday to see if there is any reason for me to delay either of these. I want to scream! Has anybody had Covid had an impact on treatment?
