Cabozantinib (XL184) Trial Drug - update
I have already had carbo/
taxol
, caeylx and Topetecan. A good proportion of my tumours were cyst-like. The drug works by attacking the blood supply to the tumours. Mine have significantly reduced in size and are haemoraging.

Re-posting this as I realised I'd ticked the box for members only ... and to give an update...
She started weekly Carbo/
Taxol
in December but ended up in hospital after week 1 due to a blood clot and being very weak with the constant vomiting. She spent 5 weeks in hospital on the weekly regime but was told 7 weeks ago that it wasn't working and that she was being moved to a hospice.

What after taxol/carbo fails?
Taxol
carbo didnt work to shrink my tumours, Im being referred to the Marsden and wondered what I might be offered next for slow growing OC. They have mentioned I might go on a trial.

Anyone with any experience of tamoxifen?
My mum had her first regular check up today after finishing chemotherapy (carbo/
taxol
) in October for stage 4 oc. Our worst fears have been realised and her ca125 is up from 17 at the end of November to 289. This is a massive jump, especially considering it was only 437 when she was diagnosed.

Has anyone experienced trouble with their fingernails?
I have been on weekly
Taxol
/Carbo and because my nails are very tender and there is a chance I might lose some of them, I have been taken off
Taxol
.

options after carboplatin and taxol
Hello I’m posting on behalf of my mother who has had 2 recurrences of ovarian cancer and we’ve just found that the weekly
taxol
that she’s been having isn’t working.

Is this the end of the road? Please can anyone offer any suggestions?
She relapsed within 6 weeks and started
Taxol
, 2nd infusion she passed out as soon as they started the infusion so they stoped this line of treatment.

Scan result-no shrinkage but surgery going ahead!
Hiya I had my mid treatment scan results today (had 3 cycles of
taxol
carbo) and my tumours havent changed at all. Onc thought this would be the case as my biopsy revealed low grade (yet Im stage 3 with spread to omentum).

Good News!
Hi I'm a relatively new member to the website, having been diagnosed with OC 1C having surgery and 6
taxol
/carboplatin treatments. Just had my first scan and they are all clear. The nurse gave me the results over the phone as I can't get to see my oncologist until 16 March.

Stage 3 but low grade
She thinks that the
taxol
carbo 'might not be' doing much because she thinks its been a slow growing cancer. I have a ct this thurs and the results on the 2nd feb, this is when Ill be told if Im having surgery next or more chemo.

I'm so fed up and disappointed - is anyone else in the same situation?
I finished 7 cycles of Carbo/
Taxol
on 7th December. I had my ovaries removed initially at the beginning of April 2011 due to multiple "nasty" cysts as an incidental finding when presenting with a polyp in the womb and the histology came back as a surprise to my surgeon and myself as Stage IIC OC.

Topotecan
Have just been told that carboplatin alone isn't working for me (previously had carboplatin and
taxol
which didn't work either) and that my CA125 is now 2000. Have been recommended to try Topotecan. Does anyone have any experience of trying this and what was outcome?
