Gem/carbo worse than carbo/taxol???
I had my first gem/carbo on Thursday and yesterday and today it's knocked me rotten! Still feeling sick can't go to the loo and the fatigue is something else I wasn't this tired after the debunking operation! I sailed through my first round of chemo with very little effects I thought this regime was

Question about Avastin
She is now completing her final 3 cycles of
taxol
/carboplatinum but her doctors have advised 18 months of Avastin as a continuing treatment. I am a little confused as I thought Avastin was 2nd line treatment which is offered if the cancer returns. What could this mean for mum?

Long time healing??
After
taxol
/carbo/ avastin had surgery laparotomy, total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo oophorectomy, omentectomy, excision of right side liver and sub diaphragmatic lesion, with repair of pleura, excision of pelvic peritoneum, not sure what all this means lol but that's what's wrote on my notes.

Yea after a bit of a marathon at the chemo ward today where my oncologist forgot to prescribe my weekly
taxol
and is on holiday so nobody could contact him, his team went awol so they couldn't contact them either, I have finally finished 18 weeks of Weekly
Taxol
thanks to a very determined chemo nurse

PPC or omentum? No surgery yet as tumour not shrunk enough but ca125 dramatically reducing.
Taxol
and carbo 3 weekly and weekly and ca125 down from 10000 to 352. Scan after 2 rounds showed some reduction in area of cancer (mum has no obvious tumour) but not enough to warrant surgery yet. Now on round 4 with same regimen plus avastin 3 weekly.

Fun and Games
Anyway, I asked for my CA25 results and they have dropped from over 400 after my op to 14, and that is on the Carbo/
Taxol
only as I hadn't started the Avastin then. As you can imagine, I am in high Spirits today!

Back pain when standing still.
Hello Ladies, Finished carbo/
taxol
two months ago. I'm now suffering with back pain when I stand still for awhile. The only way to relieve the pain is to go for a walk or sit down with my feet up. Spoke to my cns who advised I should take ibuprofen regular. That doesn't work.

2nd recurrence. 4 chemo combos all failed. Any suggestions?
With a CA 125 of 263 I started on carbo /
taxol
. Last week was to be my 2nd cycle but while the
taxol
was going in I fainted. Was told i was unconscious due to an allergy reaction. It was very frightening and I am so grateful to the nurses. They saved my life. Now I am in dilemma.

Chemo before surgery
I've had 8 rounds of chemo - carboplatin and
taxol
and have 1 more on Monday. I have surgery on July 26th. Has anyone else had rounds of chemo before surgery?

Sulphur burbs
Hello ladies, I had my second round of
taxol
/carboplatin. The sulphur burps started yesterday evening, and still going strong at 5:45 next morning. I am on nexium but it's not doing any good for this complaint. Did any of you suffer from this and what did you take to relieve it?

Rash following Taxol and Herceptin doses
I appreciate it could well be side effect from
Taxol
and Herceptin. Under the circumstances, the oncologist suggest that we look into radiation or visit onco-surgeon. Any advise/recommendation would be highly appreciated.

Chemo 5 put off and Taxol stopped
Should I ask for
Taxol
to be put back for my last two chemos? Apprecate your input and any comments from anyone who has also gone through this before. I know I've read posts recently where
Taxol
was stopped. Clear cell, first time ( and jopefully only time) with chemo Many thanks Clare x
