Rash and changes around operation site
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 on-surgeon. Any advise/recommendation would be highly appreciated. Kind regard, I

Neuropathy........Ouch
I've had 3 of 6 treatments of carbo/
taxol
so far & last night, neuropathy was awful in my hands and fingers. It hurt so bad & couldn't seem to get relief. Is there anything you can do for it to relieve the pain, other than take pain meds.

Taxol/Carbo any advice?
My consultant has advised me that I will start on a course of
Taxol
/Carbo in a week or so, I have read a few posts of the forum saying how aggressive this treatment is. Does anyone have any advice for me, I'm obviously a little scared about what's in store. Helen

Every week Carbo/Taxol
Does each treatment consist of both
taxol
& Carbo just a lesser dose? When I was getting treatment once every 3 weeks each treatment would take about 5 hours. On the weekly treatment, approximately how long is each treatment?

Grappling the beast yet again!
I'm to start carbo /
taxol
again as onc says has been 18 months since I had this before. No ascites as yet apparently. Just so scared as my remissions are notoriously short - am beginning to feel the clock ticking and my back turning to the wall.

Thank you for the Taxol/Carbo advice
Thank you all for the great advice both practical and emotional. It has been such a great help to me to realise that it may not be as bad as I envisaged. I feel empowered to ask for help if needed and if all you lovely ladies have got through it in such good spirits I'm sure that I can too!! I have taken

GEMOX it will be...
As weekly
Taxol
caused tinnitus, they had a hard time trying to find out something that wouldn't worsen the symptoms, so GEMOX it will be: Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, every two weeks (around 6 hours). It will apparently come with nausea, fatigue and sensitivity to cold.

Slowly getting there
I've had 15 out of 18 weekly
Taxol
today, all went well, my veins behaved today to. Only 3 more to do, I must admit feeling a bit more tired now and achy, but I'm so nearly to the finish line!

Avastin
Following 6 sessions of Carboplatin and
Taxol
, my CA 125 dropped from 629.8 to 11.2. Debulking in 2 weeks and thereafter my oncologist says I will not need further chemo unless the cancer returns.
