Last red devil!
Now a bit nervous about starting
Taxol
as I can't believe I can get off lightly with both types of treatment and my mother had horrendous side effects from
Taxol
although that was nearly 20 years ago now. Just need to get through the next three weeks without any issues and part two of chemo begins.

My Mom's CA-125 has risen after first Chemo
Hi all, my mom received her first cycle of Carbo/
Taxol
for her recurrence on February 23rd. She had her CA-125 checked a week later (March 2nd), and the results show that her numbers are still going up.

Feeling a little scared
I had 3 cycles carboplatin/
taxol
, optimal debulking surgery in May 2016, and 3 more rounds of carboplatin/
taxol
and was declared NED in October 2016. I recurred in March 2017 making me platinum resistant as well as BRACA negative and tumor testing showed no folate receptors.

Bloating on Chemo?
He wasn't concerned and said that bloating on carbo/
taxol
is common. I'm still very worried. Feeling like a hypochondriac these days. Did anyone else bloat? If so, did anything help?

Last chemo (second line)
Today is my last chemo (
taxol
only as I’m allergic to carbo now) I’m just thinking already of third line as I only got 8 months remission after first line. Also I can’t have carbo so am really going to push for cisplatin so I’ll be platinum sensitive therefore eligible for olaparib.

Please help me girls to get out of this gloom
I knew in my heart that nothing was happening since I went on weekly carbo/avastin only but they won't give me
Taxol
or Taxotere again after what it did for me. Together with a load of stuff going on with other things I just needed a boost today and it hasn't come.

"You are stable" - well, I never expected to hear that today.
He may even let me try a bit of
taxol
at a very low weekly dose if I insist but he said that the
taxol
isn't going to perform the way carbo does. My bloods are now good and there are no new sites, which is the most important thing.

Hello Everyone
Weekly
Taxol
was arranged but she suffered an allergic reaction and after two weeks this was abandoned and she went on to the three weekly carboplatin and
Taxol
. Five cycles in and she developed neutropenic sepsis as her bowel was intermittently blocking.

Chemotherapy, a Trusty Weapon Against Cancer, Falls Out of Favor
Among the chemotherapy drugs commonly used against breast cancer are Cytoxan, Adriamycin,
Taxol
and Taxotere, which are administered intravenously. In addition to nausea, side-effects can include hair loss and fatigue. The de-escalation debate, Dr.

Totally confused
neuroendocrine non small cell cancer, which is usually in association with epithelial ovarian cancer, but that there is no evidence of the latter in the removed tissues they examined; but the MacMillan nurse told me it was ovarian, and the oncologist is planning on using treatment standard for ovarian cancer (

Carboplatin reactions on 6th session
I get Gemzar day 1 and 8 (due to an anaphylaxis reaction to
Taxol
at 2 drops on my first session with that). I also get carboplatin on day 1 only of each session. QUESTIONS: *Have any of you had that occur? *Do you know others that had reactions any session time after 4 or 5 sessions?
