Sore Scalp
I started weekly
taxol
three weeks ago and I had my third treatment on Monday morning. My scalp has become sore so assume this means my hair will start to fall out soon. I was just wondering if there is anything I should do in the meantime?

Platinum resistance
Also we just found out from her doctor that
Taxol
was causing the neuropathy not the carboplatin. So I wonder whether she could've continued on the carboplatin alone since her neuropathy is the reason they wouldn't let her have her treatment. ...

Small intestine thickened with cancer
They have stopped the Carbo/Caelyx and I have the option of going on
Taxol
(weekly), Eptopisode or Topetecan. All of these have a 10% chance of working. I am not optimistic myself. Help! I'm going to see Prof. Gore at the Royal Marsden for a second opinion Friday. Lovis x

Docetaxel (Taxotere) + Carbo
I am highly allergic to
Taxol
hence to the change to Docetaxel. I was just wondering about hair loss etc etc. I have my 2nd round of chemo tomorrow at Guys but the first time with this combo - anxious is an understatement !!!!!

Hello!
I was diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian cancer three week ago - hard first chemo (
taxol
and carboplatin) 2 weeks ago. Three more rounds of chemo before surgery to remove womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes (as far as I know). Anyone in the same boat or similar?

Finishing Avastin
Started with Carbo/
Taxol
plus Avastin. After 3 cycles told tumour (17cm on diagnosis) had shrunk sufficiently for de-bulking surgery which was done in Sept 2014. Frontline Carbo/
Taxol
finished November and Avastin is due to continue until September (18 cycles).

Facial hair growth post chemo
I'm about 11 weeks after my last chemo....
taxol
and carboplatin...I have a pretty good fuzz on my head, and I am back to shaving my legs and underarms. That's all good, but my husband noticed quite a bit of facial hair when the light was just right on my face! I never had this before the chemo.

Doxil decision
Dr said my
taxol
/carbo wasn't successful (platinum resistant?) and offers Doxil (or caelyx) treatment alone. I'm trying to decide whether to take the treatment or not. Does any of you have ever taken Doxil and don't regret it? Rexy

Rash after chemo completed
I developed a red, itchy rash on my arms, hands and legs about 3 weeks after completing an 18 week regime of
taxol
and carboplatin. My skin is also very, very dry, which is unusual for me. Has anyone experienced a rash after the chemo treatments were completed?

update on friend:
The plan - after a scan to see progression - would be to have weekly
taxol
. she discussed possible trials later on this year which she may be eligible for and would be willing to see her again as an NHS patient.

Advice please
She had surgery and carbo/
taxol
which she completed in August 2014. We have just been informed that the cancer has returned in her lymph nodes (one of which is in her collarbone) and a very small trace of cancer in the lining if her gut.

WBC still low 6 months after chemo is over...
Hi ladies, I was on Carboplatin,
Taxol
(weekly) and still on Avastin at the moment. It has been 6 months since chemo is over but in my recent blood tests my white blood cell count, including neutrophil, is still quite low.
