Any new drug treatments I can ask the doctor about? Running low on options
She has had the following treatments: Avastin/paclitaxel/carboplatin (i think that's what it was first line) Weekly
taxol
Cisplatin/etoposide (she got 6 months from this) She is now on weekly Gemcitabine The doctor said we are running lower on options now and it is quite aggressive that it becomes resistant

Advice which worked
Ever since my second cycle of carbo/
taxol
/avastin I have had constant minor nose bleeds, with unsightly clots and general unpleasantness. I mentioned it to the Oncologist and she suggested putting vaseline up my nostrils. Well I happened to have some so I tried it - instant success.

Low platelet
My platelet count was a little low so they only gave me half of my dosage of
taxol
. I was a little worried on how this would effect my treatment?? Any thoughts? I was told that it's common with the chemo.

Aches and pains
I'm on my 5 session of chemo..
taxol
and carbon. Thankfully, I haven't been in pain or had any side effects. However, this week I have had pains in my body that I haven't felt before. Like soreness in my upper back and stomach pains. Did anyone else have this? Not sure why it is coming now...

Off Taxol..
I feel a bit upset because I said to the nurse will the carboplatin be as good as combined carbo/
taxol
, and she replied that I am only having aduvent chemotherapy so it will be fine. Then I said to her , well why have it at all. She never answered.

Questions about Mum
She had a full hysterectomy followed by carbo/
taxol
. She recurred last January and has had six cycles of carboplatin and is now on Tamoxifen. The doctors were really pleased with her response to both treatments. She had a scan in July and another in October and there had been no change.

What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of Carboplatin, and first of
Taxol
and Avastin last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it.
