Laura Update - No More Chemo - On to Letrozole
All the Chemo drugs I wanted, Gemcitabine or Caelyx are excreted through the liver, so, as I have had no success with Carboplatin or
Taxol
, there was no Chemo for me. Naturally, I was devastated. Instead, I am now in Hormone Therapy, as my cancer tested positive for Oestrogen.

Skin metastasis? UPDATE
So, GP and CT scan confirm that the skin nodule at laparoscopy port site is metastasis and with other āsmall changesā my oncologist has given me the option of weekly
taxol
starting next week. As I only finished second line Carbo/ Caelyx in March I am now deemed platinum resistant.

Gemcitabine (Gemzar) - Your experience??
So, knowing I react poorly to
Taxol
, heās recommending gemcitabine infusions. Reading paper specifics are one thing- hearing your experiences are quite another. Iād be grateful for any who can share their experience on this chemo.

Clinical Trials
My oncologist was not excited about this because I already have neuropathy from
taxol
, and abraxane would most likely make it worse. I had been encouraged to find a clinical trial, so I was to 3 other facilities to present my case and see what may be possible.

Sun sensitivity
Am probably about to go on
Taxol
but I like to sit outside and go on the sea. My list of side effects does not list sun sensitivity but I have read on the net that it can be a problem. Did anyone suffer from sun sensitivity with it? What form does it take?

Sorry to keep moaning.
I dont remember feeling like this for so long last time on carbo/
taxol
. I promised myself I would keep on working part time as I'm working from home now. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to. Has anyone else experienced this and did it get easier. Thanks.

Too long between surgery and chemo?
Ann started 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
on 7th Feb, so over 2 months after surgery. Ann was supposed to have Avastin alongside but the oncologist decided she wasn't well enough. Whilst waiting for chemo she developed very painful build up of ascites and had 4.5 litres drained prior to stating chemo.

chemo Cycle 4
Restarted Chemo after surgery this week, with Cabo,
Taxol
and Avastin followed by filgrastim injection 24 hours later. Chemo session 8 hours so a long day on my own with the nurses and FaceTime etc but we coped very well considering. Just waiting for side effects to kick in (if any).

Starting Doxil Soon. New to community.
Been through a complete hysterectomy, two cycles of Carbo/
Taxol
and several cycles of Avastin. Recent PET scan has activity on four lymph nodes. Oncologist has advised cancellation of Avastin and starting Doxil.

Bad Avastin reaction
I've been on carbo/
taxol
since May 4 with good results so far, but when my onco. added in Avastin, it walloped me: massive nosebleeds, legs heavy and weak, raised heartbeat, watery eyes, pain in the stomach/abdomen/rectum, tinnitis that went through the roof, crushing fatigue ... you name it, I had it

Thoughts on clinical trial
I'm not too concerned about the first arm of the treatment if I get on that one because that involves
taxol
which is already proven. The other two arms I'm just a little nervous about. If anyone has any thoughts for me on this please let me know.
