Decisions decisions...? Help!
I have finished 18 weeks of
Taxol
but sadly cancer is off and growing again despite the half way good news :-( So now I’ve been advised by prof that I should start ASAP on Cisplatin / Gemzar ( despite twice having Carbo and it not working) to then in the long run apply for Niraparib if it works.

Taxol
/Carboplatin???

An update post Taxol - advice needed please!
Hello all - I am sorry to have been leading you all - as well as myself - up the garden path.. those half way scan results seem a long way away when I was ecstatic it had been working so well. Sadly my final scan showed it all on the move again and have more around pelvic / sigmoid colon / stomach /

Should I be this panicked update
She also thought that my ongoing joint pain was a lasting effect of the
taxol
and bevacuzimab and prescribed me painkillers. I explained my worry about my rise in Ca125 but she reassured me that it was still very low at 35 when it has been 10 400 in the past.

Overthinking or not?
Following diagnosis (Stage 3) I had carbo /
taxol
and surgery. All went well after treatment finished But after 3 mths there were a few nodules showing on my peritoneum so had Caelyx but that didn’t do anything so now on Gemcitabine.

After 18 weeks of chemo
Hi all - last week I completed 18 consecutive weeks of
Taxol
(and carbo every 3rd week). I took booster shots each week for white count; had a transfusion for red; and drank daily cup of papaya leaf tea with addition of papaya extract for platelets.

It's back.
She said it's better tolerated than
Taxol
, but it doesn't sound that way to me, and she said I won't lose my hair again which is actually not true and I'm wondering why she would have told me that. The truth is I just want to be done with it.

Feeling a little down
It seems so much harder this time than the previous 4 sessions of carbo/
taxol
. I’m so tired and sick, the heartburn is new and unpleasant and I am getting sharp stabbing painful in my tummy. Strange that as there is nothing left in there to hurt. I’m also constipated so that doesn’t help.

Good News
Back to original hospital and chemo of
Taxol
and carboplatin for the ovarian. This post is just to say to anyone out there that however rough things might appear there is always hope and with good luck and correct treatment there can be a good outcome.

Update from Laura - Early Recurrence Confirmed
But instead of
Taxol
, I will be having Caelyx. So Carboplatin and Caelyx will be the regime. I did try to get another operation as well as weekly
Taxol
and my doctor said she will bring it up at Wednesday’s team meeting. But here I am. Chemo set for two weeks away.

Weekly Taxol
Hi - I have just four weeks left of 18 consecutive weeks of
Taxol
! Fatigue is real - even after resting but I rest a lot anyways! Have been drinking papaya leaf tea and extract every morning for a month and my platelets are up! Granix booster injections have helped with white count.

CA125 Rising Even with Chemo
Now, after 2 more treatments of Avastin and 4 weeks of carbo and
taxol
my CA125 has risen to 234.4. I’m devastated. They moved my PET up to next Friday, October 12th instead of November. I’m so scared.

Chemo finished just on Avastin now
I began suffering from from side effects after my 5th cycle of carbo/
taxol
and avastin and my 6th cycle was cancelled which I was relieved about. CA125 down to 20 and everything else seems good.

Carbo/Caelyx: experiences please! Thanks
Because I was so sick during first line, Carbo/
Taxol
, this is all new to me and I cannot figure out how to behave! My tastebuds and digestion have returned to normal and I can overeat easily. I tire quickly, but I can do lots of tasks around the house. I am thinking of hoovering tomorrow!

Weekly taxol
Hi all - I’ve had 12 of 18 weekly
taxol
- and every 3rd week Carbo is included. Have noticed past couple weeks even after resting I still have extreme fatigue. This past week chemo was cancelled due to an infected tooth and a necessary root canal.

Avastin joint pain and stiffness
I have had chemo - carboplatin and
taxol
and have now been on Avastin only for six months. I am getting increasingly stiff joints. I find I can't get out of bed and stand up easily.
