Chemo not working
I'm on 4th line weekly
Taxol
at the moment. Had 9th one yesterday. The CA125 initially decreased but now is rising again. I had 4 Carbo/Caelyx before this with only a month's break so this is not a good situation to be in.

The waiting game
I've had 3 carbo/
taxol
now, ca125 was 2662 before treatment then to 995 after 1st, 426 after 2nd which I have been told is an excellence response. Had a scan on weds and my team discuss next couse of action next weds. Will it have gone? Will it be debulked enough for them to operate?

After surgery.....
I was overjoyed when I was told there was no evidence any more of cancer in these organs, as the chemo (
Taxol
/Carboplatin )had killed the disease). So, I am officially disease free! Some more chemo later in the year is scheduled I think.

Ongoing Care
I finished my avastin in May after 18 treatments following 6 carbo/
taxol
, debunking surgery then a further 2 cycles carbo/
taxol
. I had a good response. Follow up is now 3 monthly with Consultant. Do you ladies have CA125 taken at each visit?

Recurrence
Saw onc who says I need to try
Taxol
alone now 3 weekly . Just wondered if anyone had much success with this. I asked about Avastin after 2nd line and my then Onc dismissed it without much discussion. I didn't realise at the time I could only have it after second line.

Back on the merry go round :-(
Sooo need to hear from ladies who have faced liver recurrences and come through the other side - it's only been 8 months since 1st line chemo of
taxol
and platin finished so am feeling really scared at what the future holds! Would they give me something different this time?

The Carousel Journey Again
Previously I was on carboplatin &
taxol
. For some reason, even though I had carbo without any allergic reaction - this time, I did. So it slowed the infusion down and was dosed with antihistamines & cardiac trace done.

Tumour markers
Hi all, I had 4th chemo yesterday for metastatic OC and oncologist said I was responding very well to chemo (
Taxol
/Carboplatin) and my tumour markers are now within normal range (they had been 550 at diagnosis in early June this year) .

PPC - back on the merry go round
Im getting carbo/
taxol
chemo and parp inhibitors. I've had a wonderful year off from my last treatment and really made the best of my freedom but the dread of chemo is starting to creep in again.
