BCS or Mastectomy
My wife is under going Chemo for her breast cancer and surgery is to follow after Chemo 4AC + 12
Taxol
, Herceptin . Oncologist is asking us whether we want breast conservative surgery or Mastectomy. They need to fix some metallic marker in case of BCS. I invite suggestions or pros and cons of both!

Chemo is done, what is next?
She had an optimal debulking surgery, and has had 6 infusions of
Taxol
/Carbo. It has been a bumpy road but Mom has remained strong, and it is surreal to think we came to this point. She is eating, gaining weight, staying in good spirits and has done relatively well throughout her treatments.

Doing good! Hormonal maintenance next...
Nicely chilling outside and on my last cycle of carbo/
taxol
. Feeling strong and happy and can't wait to finish. Bloods looking good, minimal side effects, still got some hair that's sort of presentable and CA125 still at 10. My oncologist is discussing hormonal maintenance treatment with the team.

Platinum challenge - reversing platinum resistance
Am now on 2nd line weekly
Taxol
. I have been trying to read up a bit about platinum resistance and some medical articles talk about platinum rechallenge ie reintroducing carbo/cisplatin with other drugs to reverse the resistance.

OCTOVA Trial - now open to BRCA negative women
This small trial has 3 arms: a)
Taxol
, b) Olaparib and c) Olaparib and Cediranib. I am 6 days into arm c. This is also a crossover trial which means that if you recur on the
Taxol
arm while on the trial you get offered Olaparib.

Done with chemo!
I finished my chemo yesterday. 18 sessions of Carbo/
Taxol
in all plus a huge surgery. My oncologist says I am cancer free. Hard to believe. Now begins my follow up sessions with him and with my surgeon. I want to have surgery to reverse my ileostomy reversed.
