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?

I had my 2nd ct scan yesterday after 3 lots of
taxol
/carbo. I find out on thur if its done anything to the cancer and that I will be 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.

Any experience of these symptoms is it recurrence?
I was diagnosed eventually in july 2009 on emergency admission in truly terrible pain as 3c well advanced, too extensive to operate initially so was shrunk with 4 carbo
taxol
treatments followed by big surgery and two more chemos.

Has anyone out there been through pelvic radiotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer? If so, how effective?
Big op and 3 cycles of chemo -
taxol
/carboplatin. Another op this year (colostomy). Latest tumour localised -hence offer of radiotherapy

Pre-chemo session blood test failure
I am on carboplatin for the third time in several years (previous two was
taxol
as well) but this is the first time my chemo has been delayed due to this blood situation.

Loss of smell and taste
I had had two lots of carbo/
taxol
treatment within four years but it was only some months after the last treatment that my smell and taste suddenly disappeared two years ago. I saw an ENT specialist who did a 'wotsit'-oscopy and ordered a head scan.

Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in March
Had chemo carboplatin and
taxol
, six sessions. Went to see oncologist today who confirmed that the tumours in the liver had shrunk and were dormant. Told that i would probably need more treatment in future for oc as it would probably return.

Would like to hear experiences of anyone who has had multiple chemo's over a number of years. Am on 3rd line chemo..
Apart from second line
taxol
problems, few side effects so very lucky. But as the pattern of chemo/remission emerges, and my oncologist says I can have 6, 8 10 courses over time (until such times as it doesn't work any more) I would like to hear about others experiences of multiple chemo courses.

Caelyx followed by Carboplatin and Taxol
I've been advised that I could have Caelyx followed by Carboplatin and
Taxol
further down the line. Wondered if anyone had gone down this route and if what the advantages and disadvantages were.

Since Dose 2 of Taxol & Carboplatin, I get the most awful pain in my back - acid reflux I'm assuming which seems to last for 2/3 days.
This reflux pain is worse than any I have had before and it is so disabling around 5/6 days post-chemo. I already take Omeprazole daily and have started taking Ranitidine in addition, which helps very slightly. Any advise please?

Hi can anyone give me their experiances of Caelyx chemo. I have had Carboplatin and Taxol twice since being diagnosed in 2008
However since finishing my last chemo in December 2010 I have new symptoms now and have been advised that Caelyx would be the next chemo suitable for me. I have decided that I still have to fight on and feel more positive now that last week after the visit to the oncologist. Some insight into Caelyx
