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.

My first Taxol chemo day
YAY!!! I was so nervous thinking I would be nauseas or get diarrhea during treatment. But it was an easy day no side effects so far. I am home now. Next treatment next Thursday. Hope they all go this well. I know I will get some side effects and lose hair but I will take a good day when I can get it

Recurrence #3
My doctor started me on
taxol
/Carbo/Avastin and my ca125 went from 331 to 48. Right before my last treatment my ca125 rose to 54. I have a ct scan Friday, March 1 and will do Avastin for maintenance every 3 weeks. I’m really nervous since I feel like my treatment drugs are limited.

taxol
/carbon) and then on watch and wait? How long was your remission? Again thank you everyone for your continued support, this board is a god send

Best wishes to each of us!
Had hysterectomy in June - then 18 weeks
Taxol
with every 3rd week Carbo too. Finished chemo end of October and finally feeling a bit stronger and hair is returning. Ca125 was initially over 2500 - but since surgery and throughout chemo stayed under 10.

Psychological issues?
All this has not been helped by a failure at infusion 3 with Carboplatin and
Taxol
, as a result the cancer has been growing while I wait for a new chemo regime to start hopefully this week.

Survivor guilt
She was advised 6 cycles of
taxol
+carboplatin + herceptin + Perjeta, followed by herceptin and perjeta until progression. But, as she didn’t have insurance, she refused to take this treatment, primarily due to the cost involved, approx Rs.3,50,000 ($6000) per cycle.

Not what I wanted for Christmas
Also Oxaliplatin can maybe cause more nerve damage in hands and feet than
Taxol
? As someone who does art work I do not want to lose sensation in my hands so I'm feeling pretty bleak at mo. Sorry to moan. X
