Mom's Stage IV OC - Recurrence - may seek clinical trials. Thanks for any input. :)
Since May 2019, my mom has been a warrior and has undergone chemotherapy (neoadjuvant) followed by debulking surgery, then more chemo (
Taxol
) - all of which was successful. :) Then in April 2020, her CA125 started to climb so she started back on chemo (Doxil/Avastin) which failed, then switched

Latest update on 3 weekly Taxol
Hi everyone, Just had my latest CA125 results and they have fallen from 667 to 119 after two rounds of 3 weekly
Taxol
. Hope it is a sign of things to come with scan result in two weeks time. Consultant seems pleased.

Check in November 2,
Hi Dear Ladies, I am on third treatment on
Taxol
. I have the usual side effects, kind of ok, do get more tired than before. My brain seems to be working less too but am trying to wake it up. I hate the heartburn but have Mets for it. I ice my feet, hands to help with side effects during treatment.

Caught a break
Scans after 10
taxol
weekly showed substantial gains. Very little obvious cancer left so we continue 3 weeklys one week off for 4 months then onc prof wants to look at immunotherapy...this is my 5th line. 3 and 4 did nothing (carbogem then caelyx) and cancer on the liver was troubling.

Does Taxol work?
I have been to see my oncologist today to discuss starting
Taxol
. I was assured this may help hold back my cancer, which is spreading) but I cannot be cured. I know this but I need to know if anyone else on weekly
Taxol
had encouraging results.

1st 3 Month Followup and not so great News
Now will be going 16 rounds of Chemo weekly of
Taxol
and Avastin. Was wondering from my beautiful teal sisters if this happened to anybody else this quickly and how it went for you and if you were on Avastin, how well it worked and any side affects. Cheers, Shelly

Tumour shrinkage and ascites
Hello does any one else have experience of tumour shrinkage following 3 cycles of carboplatin/
taxol
? But still a large amount of ascetic fluid showing on CT scan? Surgeon wants to operate (which is good) but seems unsure why there is still so much ascetic fluid?

Constipation
Complete de-bulk op, 5 mths carbo/
taxol
but the only thing worries me everyday is constipation.Have tried several stool softners but been told that if used too often the bowel becomes lazy so rather try diet options!

I made it through surgery and 6 rounds of
Taxol
/Carboplatin. I am one week out of my last chemo. I never thought I would be here. I will be starting Lynparza in January for two years. I just wanted to say thank you to all who helped me.

Long Term Taxol
I have a question for those who have been or are on long term
Taxol
. My onc wants to put me on it indefinitely and says she has had patients remain stable for years. So my question is in reference to hair loss. Has anyone lost hair AND have it grow back while still on
Taxol
? Thanks.
