I’ve decided to try TAXOL
I’ve opted to try
taxol
, 3 weeks on and 1 week off. I’m having a port fitted a week tomorrow and treatment should follow soon afterwards. Let’s hope it’s successful and I don’t suffer too many side effects.

Dizziness on chemo?
Hello, has anyone experienced dizziness on carbo/
taxol
? Mum keeps feeling very faint and dizzy all the time, I’m wondering if this is a side effect of the chemo and if so if there’s anything we can do to help? Many thanks x

Rising CA125
I completed 6 cycles of chemo (carbo,
taxol
plus avastin) in early October with a CA125 of 16 (op was in July). I have continued with Avastin. My scan in mid Jan was okay but my blood test last week shows my CA125 is now 23.

Pondering my options....
I asked Steph if it was her or a loved one what would she opt for and she said
Taxol
as it has a good record on liver mets. I’m torn between
taxol
or the Vinorelbine. In a nutshell, I’ve never had IV chemo and I’m fearful of it.

CA125 Post operation have increased and treatment options
Due to the extent of the tumours an operation pre chemo wasn’t an option and she went through 3 cycles (weekly
taxol
for 9 weeks and carbo platin every 3rd week) before debulking surgery back in mid-Jan followed by the same 3 cycles.

Now on Doxil, what do I need to know?
Because of it rose 14 points from last month and no movement since my last CT Scan they are taking me off of weekly
Taxol
and now to once a month Doxill for 8 months. Blessed that this is on my outer abdomen and not by or any organs.

Second opinion
The doctor say she wouldn’t give me IV Chemo until I tried all oral Chemo first, she would do exemtense first then
taxol
, but taxotere last. She also stated my liver is functioning just fine and there are more options if taxotere doesn’t work.

My recent scan has shown progression in the liver!
My Oncologist has suggested I should now go on
taxol
. However, she has also offered me two other options to consider Epirubicin or an oral drug called Vinorelbine. I am very scared of IV chemo so I’ve been given up to a week to digest things and reach a decision on what to try next.

Chemo experience
I have seen that it is likely that I will have carboplatin and
taxol
. I am overwhelmed by the side effects and I am asthmatic, I see it can affect your breathing. What have everyone's experiences been? Should I be doing anything to prepare myself for what is to come?

Delighted to be still here after my sell buy date!!!!
In September my weekly
Taxol
chemo treatment was stopped as it was not working. I was told that I had about 6 months life expectancy. Despite an emergency hospital admission and subsequent palliative radiotherapy I am still here and enjoying life.

Latest update
Weekly
Taxol
had not worked and the scan showed slow progression of cancer. No more chemo options but given Letrozole to try and slow things down. She is contacting another hospital to discuss any possible trial options. Still hoping! Hope everyone keeping well Janet

CT scan results today
The
Taxol
obviously stopped working a few weeks ago and the cancer is progressing slowly but surely. I don’t yet know the new dimensions of the tumours but the tumours in my liver have increased. I’m going back on single Carbo which I had for first line treatment. It worked for 6 months in 2018.

Peripheral Neuropathy
After 12 weekly infusions of
Taxol
, I had mild peripheral neuropathy. 6 months after that ended, I have some nails growing back and some still dying. Is this unusual? I also would like to share tips about dealing with it.
