Terrified of recurrence
I had my last chemo of carboplatin and
Taxol
yesterday. I was diagnosed with Stage1C2 in September 2016. At the beginning I felt very positive as I was fortunate to have a speedy early stage diagnosis and felt it was a cure and that would be the end of it.

Hopeful
We managed to get her on the ICON8B trial where she has carbo every three weeks and
taxol
at a reduced dose each week. It is such a relief to get treatment and I am so pleased she has responded so well to the chemotherapy.

Rising CA125 with Avastin
I completed 26 cycles of carbo/
taxol
along with debulking surgery. I just completed my 8th Avastin but CA125 counts are rising each time. Now up to 61. My last scan showed NED which is great but the rising counts make me feel that something is lurking.

Taxol
I took 4 chemo treatments that were massive in hopes of shrinking the tumor and now after the 4 treatments they tell me it is gone.. now they wanted me to take
Taxol
in case there happened to be any cancer cells anywhere in my body for which they said this
Taxol
will eliminate.

Pain in the neck
I've just completed 6 cycles of Avastin-
taxol
-Carboplatin followed by 2 cycles of Avastin -
taxol
. Waiting for scan results to decide on maintenance. I've been experiencing pain in the neck right below my ear for the last two months which the oncologist has been ignoring.

Low grade serous
Have had 3 rounds of chemo ( carbo,
taxol
and avastin) 6 sessions to have then another 12 of avastin on its own. Just wondered if anyone else has the same and how long ago they have been fighting this horrible disease. Thank you Leeanne

Neuropathy - Halaven
Hello, I just started chemo drug Halaven and the neuropathy is more pronounced than it was when I was on chemo drug
taxol
. My hospital does not support icing during treatment but they would not stop me from doing so on my own.

2nd recurrence and Cold cap???
😢 I have a scattering in my abdomen like last time and have been told I have to have 3 weeks of
taxol
and 1 week off for 6 months! I had carboplatin last 2 times which gave me a remission of 2.5 years then this time only 1 year so he doesn't want to use carbo again this time and use
taxol
only.

Mum feeling terrible
My Mum has had to start
taxol
straight after four lots of caelyx. She has managed to only have two lots with about two weeks gap. Each time she has felt too bad to have it. Her next one is due on Monday but she wasn't allowed to have it the Monday just gone as her platelets were only 58.

Neuropathy
I have just finished carboplatin/
taxol
treatment for OC and am suffering quite badly with neuropathy especially to ends of feet. I had some remains of neuropathy after chemo for bowel cancer a year ago so that has not helped. Just wondering if anybody knows of ways to help it subside.

Abdominal burning after Chemo
I had debulking surgery November 21, 16, and just had my third round of chemo (
taxol
and carbo) this last thursday. I have read that you cannot feel the chemo in the tissue, yet every time for about a week after, I have a burning pain, where cancer was removed.

Low Magnesium
I am on
Taxol
and carbopIatin and was told my magnesium was low. I was a bit out of it whilst having my chemo so really didn't ask the relevant questions. Should I be worried by this and what should I do to improve my levels.
