Had to cancel my 'Look Good Feel Better' session today.
The
taxol
was omitted due to pins and needles to hands and feet so felt sure I'd be fine with only having carboplatin!!!! How optimistic was that? Have rearranged for Nov 20th when I should be in better form.

Just a little moan!
Such a shame the carboplatin didn't suit me this time as it worked so well for me the first time round with the
taxol
and the first round I had of it this year it knocked my tumour marks down by half after one round.

Hi everyone I have been having weekly
Taxol
for my 2nd re occurence and I am thrilled to tell you my marker is at an all time low of just 10. I have had 8 sessions and at our last meeting with the Oncologist he said I could stop treatment now if I wished.

Scan waiting times
She said she would arrange a CT scan very urgently and then probably start me on weekly
Taxol
and to expect a phone call from the scan dept. I have rang the scan dept and they haven't received the request and urgent requests are a three to six waiting time.

ANYONE HAD MAINTENANCE/SALVAGE CHEMO
My wife diagnosed nearly 2 years ago with High Grade Serous (3c) - had normal hyster, then 6 x 3 weekly carbo/
taxol
but CA125 never went below 300. Had 5 months without symptoms, then two months later had 4 x weekly sessions of
taxol
but CA125 continued to climb.

Professor Hani Gabra's Presentation - Professor of Medical Oncology - Imperial College - 25 September 2012
Dose-dense
Taxol
works in a similar way to Avastin and reduces the side-effects of joint pain and neuropathy associated with this chemotherapy. He advised us to look up the Watson and Crick research papers.

Help needed please with understanding Mum’s CT report
Within 3 months she reoccurred and was given
Taxol
, round 2 she had a severe reaction and was put onto Caelyx, after 4 rounds this was stopped as she had hand and foot syndrome and ct showed no real change.

Another failed chemo regime!
Just back from the hospital where I got my results of my scan after 8 weeks on weekly
taxol
. This unfortunately hasn't worked at all and tumours have grown considerably and one now stuck to my colon.

Topotecan
I started 3rd line chemo last week - Topotecan this time after carboplatin/
taxol
for lst and 2nd line. I had my second chemo yesterday and so far practically no side effects at all. A little nausea which is soon sorted out with the anti-sickness pills.
