Recurrences?
I am due for a scan and start
taxol
probably early sept. I was informed at the beginning that the longer you could stay in remission the better and I managed 13 months. Are you actually going back into remission or just having a settling of symptoms post treatment?

Does anyone else on here have MRI scans as opposed to CT scans?
I had MRI at initial diagnosis, then after 3 lots of carbo/
taxol
to check response before surgery and then again after treatment of final 3 lots of chemo. The latest scan (last month) showed possible residual disease or scar tissue and so i am having a follow up scan in October to check.

Debulking surgery
Post 6 carbo/
taxol
sessions she is now to go on to weekly
taxol
. They say the risks are too high of not getting all of it with surgery....surely getting some of it would be better than none? They also aren't happy about using avastin, not yet anyway. Anyone on here with experience of this?

My ovaries were removed 4 years ago now I have ovarian cancer???
I had 6 treatments of Carbo/
Taxol
chemo. My CA125 came down to 14.The cancer has spread to my bladder and lymphatic system. Now, after a 4 month break from chemo my CA125 is back up again. My Urologist removed 3 tumors from my bladder and saw a mass on my kidney that has to be biopsied next week.

I'd really appreciate advise from the over 70s re their experience with OC - my mum's in this category. However advise from all is welcomed
She was diagnosed about 2.5yrs ago with stage IIIC and has had 10 doses of carbo/
taxol
. Now she keeps having severe pains in her stomach and in one of her legs. Not sure the doctors are planning any further treatments as they've now placed her on Morphine.

almost to the finish line I hope
I have been receiving
Taxol
/Carbo and my last treatment will be June 4th. I am seriously looking into going on Avastin for a maintenance because I like the idea of taking away the blood supply to the cancer cells so they can not create any new blood vessels for making new tumors.

Strategies for coping with the chemo chair please
I'm just about to start weekly
taxol
only a few weeks after carbo/gem. I'll go through with it because I have to, but I am finding the prospect rather daunting. All those hours spent hooked up when the sun might be shining outside. I have also been known to have the odd panic attack.

HERE WE GO AGAIN............MAYBE.....HOPEFULLY
Besides we had Carbo (with
Taxol
) finished in May 2011 and then Carbo (with gem) started Dec 2011 (7 months after last carbo) and finished in June 2012.......and that time it 'worked' better than the 1st time, perhaps cos it was mixed with gem, perhaps not.

6 week oncologist appointment
My oncologist is going to start me on
taxol
/carbo combination again if tamoxifen doesnt work though im not too sure about the
taxol
again as it is such an aggressive treatment. Anyone know if you have any input into your treatment options
