Living in the twilight zone - Recurrence & waiting for 2nd line chemo.
Supposed to have had CTscan, review and possibly start carbo/
taxol
couple of weeks after. Four weeks have gone by and no scan date, so I rang up and haha no referral could be found. Anyway eventually I have one for end of August and follow up appointment in middle September.

Calcified Tumours
of
Taxol
and Carboplatin - 6 lots every 3 weeks - which kept me free for three and a half years..He says it is too toxic, wouldn't work, and my quality of life is better without it. I can see what he means - but on the other hand I feel that I'm not trying to fight the O Ca.

Well I have just finished 8 rounds of carbo/
taxol
and Avastin. Results show ct scan clear some small low grade activity on PET which I am assured i shouldn't worry about, but obviously will. Feel exhausted and nervous of the future.

Bad news today
Will now be having weekly
taxol
as my cancer is platinum resistant. Have been told that 30 percent chance of this working, but if it doesn't then no other chemo options. They will refer me to see if any trials suitable. The most devastating bit of this is having to tell the family more bad news.

Hi everyone - has anyone out there taken part in the PETROC trial? If so, I was wondering how it went and what side effects there were.
I have just finished 4 cycles of carbo-
taxol
and have date for surgery early in July. As long as the surgery goes well enough, i shall be randomised to one of three strands of treatment in the trial. One strand is just IV chemo, the other two include IV and IP ( intraperitoneal ) chemo.

Decisions about chemotherapy
Is there anyone who has any similar experience, simliar age group that either opted for just carboplatin, both carboplatin and
taxol
etc. We thought mum would be advised which treatment would be best for her situation.

Fluid around the lungs
My mum is awaiting to have chemotherapy, i think its carboplatin /
taxol
, 3 courses over 10 wks, after which she will have surgery (hysterectomy).The diagnosis is that its spread to her lymph nodes in abdomen area and is difficult to remove surgically.

How long to wait before beginning chemo?
They will decide soon when to start her chemo regime (4 courses of
taxol
/ carboplatin) My mum is 73 and in quite good health for age, she has the ascites and her OC is advanced to include lymph nodes in abdomen area.

I am currently on 6 cycles of cargo/

If carbo/taxol steadied the disease before surgery will they suggest the same chemotherapy after surgery. If they do it seems illogical.
If carbo/
taxol
only made it a stable disease before they should suggest a different chemo or will they say carbo/
taxol
again.

Serous papillary-what chemo works?
They said theres no point trying with
taxol
carbo again because it didnt work but I have heard people successfully having carboplatin only.
