Lymph node lady at chemo train station. Help !
The CNS just told me that
Taxol
is too severe even though I tolerated it very well last time. Anything I have read indicates that the combination of Carbo and
Taxol
has better outcomes for recurrence especially as I am not Carbo resistant .

Ifosfamide
Hi lovely ladies, Following 6 cycles of
Taxol
and Carboplatin and debulking, I am due to start another round of chemo, this time Carboplatin and Ifosfamide to hopefully kill off any remaining microscopic cells after a viable MMMT was removed.

Burning rash on chest
I've only had my carbo this time as I couldn't have
taxol
due to a liver problem. Just wondered if any of you have experienced the rash and what soothes it. Thanks Ann x

How can I get relief for ascites?
Did 6 treatments of
Taxol
/Carbol. Worked for abt 12 weeks then stopped. Main symptom ascites. Now on Gemzar. Worse side effects and no relief of ascites. Dr is going to drain ascites if it's not down by next week. I had such high hopes for this treatment now I'm so disappointed. Very depressed.

Carboplatin only?
I have chosen to only do carboplatin without the addition of
taxol
. My Dr. doesn't like it and feels I need to be doing both together in order to be more effective. But I have resisted so far. I have been reading other posts about the neuropathy the
taxol
causes, not to mention other symptoms.

Swelling/edema
I'm a survivor of
Taxol
/Cytoxin. My last treatment was 13.5 months ago. I still have a lot of swelling/edema. My hands, leg, feet, arms, face and neck. It does not matter what I eat or drink I still swell. I have gained 15 pounds in the last 3 months.

No chemo today due to low platelets......feeling worried for next week
Hi ladies I have had 3 cycles Carbo/
Taxol
(9 chemo sessions) and then had debulking surgery. I am now having 3 more cycles and was supposed to have my 3rd chemo of cycle one today. I arrived and was told my platelets were 33 so I couldn't have chemo due to risk of bleeding out.

Ear trouble
I have just had one carbo/
taxol
and have ear ache/numbness in one ear. I constantly have the whooshing sound of blood in both ears. It's so annoying. I'm assuming these are side effects ? Will they settle ? Sarah

Reoccurrence bombshell
No visible signs of cancer post op so she had a mopping up cycle of chemo - just carbo as she was allergic to
taxol
. She got all clear in Feb with CA125 down to 14 from over 1600.

Feeling down
Obviously I am really disappointed that the Carbo/
Taxol
is not having the desired result and think I will probably have a bit of a cry later this evening. Sorry to be such a wet blanket. Jenny

Onc
I start back on Carbo /
Taxol
next week, she is going to change my plan from 3-4, to ensure that we get any microscopic little buggers lurking around, but my response to chemo and surgery has now left me macroscopical free and she is confident I will not need to go on the Avastin as discussed earlier
