carbo/gem
I was diagnosed high grade stage 3c peritoneal in Autumn 2021, I have had carbo/
taxol
/avastin, debulking surgery. Followed by avastin alone which did not work, then carbo/caelyx which worked very well. I have had just over a year on Niraparib but sadly it is no longer working.

Doing well on Taxol. TM down by half!
It stopped working and I've been on
Taxol
for about 5 or 6 infusions. CA 27-29 dropped from 725 in January to 355 on Tuesday. So I'm really going to be able to celebrate that anniversary next week! I have hand-foot syndrome. Very little feeling in feet and hands.

Bad weekend!
I have appts at the cancer center that I go to, about 50 miles away in a medium sized city and the hospital doctor was going to talk with my onc about waiting til next Tuesday for my next
Taxol
treatment as it could have a bad impact on the anti-biotics I'm on for the pneumonia.

The test will be when the
Taxol
is discontinued and whether the Herceptin/Perjeta is the right move or not.. Has anyone else ever dealt with something like this? Thank you for listening 💕

exciting clinical trial
Xeloda seemed to be working for me but not for long and now I'm on
Taxol
. My CA27-29 has come down by half (no where near normal) and the neuropathy is getting worse in spite of lower dose, so another option is appealing!

Chemo question
I had my first
taxol
/carboplatin treatment last week. I had an allergic reaction shortly after starting. Then on days 3-6 I had severe sharp pains in my bones in my back and legs that broke through my pain meds. Now on day 8 I am still struggling with pain, bloating and nauseousness.

I’m still here!
I had a full Hysterectomy and 6 Carbo/
Taxol
chemos. I do have some numbness and peripheral nerve pain from the chemo but No other treatment! I have been able to enjoy many things, seeing my grandchildren grow, look after my elderly mum etc. Each day is a blessing.

hair starting to fall out after 3rd Taxol infusion
How have you "shaved" your heads? My head started feeling tender a couple of days ago and yesterday I noticed more hair than usual stuck in my hairbrush. Do you just get it cut real short until it all falls out? Ism there something we can do for the sensitivity of our scalp? I never thought about

Devastated. Mom has begun hospice.
Mom started carboplatin and
taxol
around June or July 2022 which stabilized but didn't shrink her tumors. Found to be inoperable during an exploratory laparotomy. Did few more cycles and they added avastin. Then she resumed just avastin during our Christmas season that year.

COVID
I"ve phoned both onc and rad onc and am waiting to hear back about starting
Taxol
tomorrow and rads to lower spine on Thursday to see if there is any reason for me to delay either of these. I want to scream! Has anybody had Covid had an impact on treatment?

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo &
taxol
plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost!

New Normal
Good morning beautiful ladies 😀 This week I started my
Taxol
and Herceptin cocktail. Being my cancer mutated from HER2 low to HER2 positive with progression to liver this seems like the most head on approach.

Rough few days
I'm scheduled for my first
Taxol
treatment back at the cancer center on Tuesday, I think. I've never had my blood pressure drop low like this before and it was probably due to dehydration. I'm still having to drink alot of water.

Second Recurrence
I had the same chemo both times: carbo/
taxol
. It appears that I have another recurrence because my CA 125 was 8 this past November. Then, it rose to 22 in December and today it was 158. My oncologist wants to schedule a CT scan in March and I think that's too late.

Trodelvy after one year update
In February 2022 I had a port installed and we switched to IV
Taxol
. Again side effects were manageable with your advice and my numbers CA15 (which is important for me) dropped from 8000 to normal range very quickly.

May be doing IV chemo for the first time. Need tips - really freaked out!
I’m having a petscan tomorrow and depending on how it looks, I’ll either be doing Piqray + Faslodex or
Taxol
. And I know they really want me to do the
Taxol
. I’ve had chemo pills a few months back (and it wasn’t fun) but this is new to me and I’m totally terrified.

On Palbociclib and Letrozole for 21 days, CA153 elevated. Er+Her2-
Before that, I had 15 weekly
Taxol
(paclitaxel) sessions. Until 12 sessions, CA153 decreased to 83 but again started rising to 137, so the Doctor prescribed Palbo + Letrozol. Started pacli from 142 CA 153. [u][i]
So can you please provide your experience?
