Pain around middle
Had debaulking surgery, after which I was NED so had adjuvant chemo,,6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
which I tolerated quite well. I now have a lot of pain around my middle. It feels as if I have a cord tied round my waist which is being tightened. Also I have burning in the centre of my chest.

Change of meds and reduction of Taxol by 50%........
She wasn't going to reduce the
Taxol
any further but when she saw my rash (still on neck and head although not itchy now) she decided to reduce the
Taxol
to 50%, she said the main drug is Carbo but I hope the effect is not reduced too much so it's not effective; any ideas? Photo of me today!

Advice please
She is starting chemo on Thurs and the plan is 3 rounds of chemo (carboplatin and
Taxol
) then possible surgery followed by 3 more rounds of chemo. We've been told the scan after the first 3 rounds will determine whether surgery is possible.

Stressful Day
On top of that my oncologist wrote to them as the op date they gave meant a 7 week gap from my last carbo and 5 weeks from my last
taxol
. They were adamant it could not be moved and would be 20th June. So with my oncologists consent I booked a holiday.

New op date
This is 5 weeks after my last
taxol
chemo that I have weekly and 7 weeks after carbo/
taxol
. I'm really worried what might happen in the gap. My oncologist said it's within normal waiting time and not to worry. Has anyone else had such a gap? Tracey x

Update
Thank you lovely ladies for all your advise last week, yesterday I went into have my weekly
taxol
and the same nurse was starting my treatment so I had a friendly chat with her and the senior nurse about the cannula and they both felt that yes some else should put the cannula in as the trainee nurse

2nd Dose of Taxol/Carbo
I'm sitting here taking in my 2nd round of
taxol
/Carbo. Last week my platelets were 87 so I was delayed a week. Today they were 88. 🙃 They lowered the dose of Carbo & said that my 3rd treatment will be in 3 weeks & then I will receive 3 more treatments, one a week.

Hi everyone i was diagnosed with stage 4 OC last July had the usual carbo/
taxol
X 4 full debunking in November which resulted in a blood clot round my spleen and major internal bleed I was very poorly! Recovered quite quickly though and carried on with my last two chemo!

Little update...
I'm guessing they might put her on weekly
taxol
, that's purely from my research and the fact they said they will probably get her on a chemo that is more frequent.
Taxol
seemed to work in her first combo of chemo so is a complete guess!

Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had
Taxol
/Carboplatin (+ a few cycles of Avastin), Caelyx/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly
Taxol
?

After 5 sessions, some suggestions
I had surgery for uterine CA, stage 4, grade 3, and have completed 5 sessions carbo
taxol
. It has not been pleasant, but finding understanding and coping mechanisms has helped. It has been a combination of strategies and always evolving.

Ascites
I had it at Xmas , had it drained and then started weekly
taxol
. It came back with a vengeance last week, had five litres drained and it's back already! Didn't think this could happen on chemo?

Continuing my PPC journey and getting a second opinion
I had the usual 6 months of carboplatin and
taxol
and was pronounced disease free at the end of treatment and up to Mar of this year when I was told that a CT scan showed my periaortic lymph nodes were swollen.

Hi, I'm luluw
I was diagnosed with stage 3c OC in January and have just finished 6 cycles of
Taxol
/Carbo with every side effect going! Currently waiting for the post-chemo scan. Really scared about this I must say.
