Update to liver Mets and other issues from scan
One arm will be
taxol
only, the second arm is
taxol
plus a reovirus or something like that. It is an immunotherapy trial which has had some success for patients with her2-positive type. But I am her 2 negative and er positive.

Side effect: Nail bed pain, darkening and lifting
I am on
Taxol
(one more round to go thank God) and I am experiencing this. None have lifted yet but it feels like its on its way to doing so. Even typing this post is painful.

Currently on Avastin. Hands seizing up badly and Painful stiff shoulders. Anyone had the same?
I had 6 x
taxol
and carbo wich finished in December 2019. I've been having Avastin since my 2nd chemo infusion. Avastin is continuing but I've had to postpone #13 infusion. I've mentioned before on this forum about my painful stiff shoulders...

I completed the standard carboplatin,
taxol
and avastin. I am on maintenance Avastin. My latest bloodwork shows CA125 increasing and gyno-oncologist "felt something in there" today. CT Scan tomorrow.

Carboplatin
I did receive very aggressive weekly treatment with Carboplatin and
taxol
and I wanted to stop treatment right from the beginning due to difficult to manage side effects ie needing blood and plasma transfusions, neuropathy, loss of appetite and severe nausea However, I am so glad that I continued with

Stage 3c OC, ca125 rising slowly
My mother was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer in 2017, she had a very long debunking surgery from 9am to 7pm, then she had weekly infusions of carbo/
taxol
from December 2017 to April 2018. Treatments were stopped although her scans were never completely clear.

1 year in remission (LGOC)
months, my last CA125 was 5 but I should point out that it was only 37 at diagnosis and it was rife, including spots on my colon and a bit on my liver, had full hysterectomy and debulking and the bit on my liver taken off, they left the spots on my colon which they mopped up with the Chemo. 6 x carbo/
taxol

Preventing/treating neuropathy from Abraxane or Taxol?
I've had six Abraxane treatments since February. I'm thrilled that it's dropping my cancer marker, but I think I'm starting to have a bit of neuropathy...either that or someone is sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night and putting pins in the pad of my big toes. I take L-Glutamine for

Hair, will it regrow or won't it
For me, it has been 15 months since last
taxol
round. I'm up to round 29 in a few days for Herceptin and Perjeta. My hair has come back in, but very thin, (use to be very thick and curly/wavy) and as if there are fewer follicles in play. Is this my lot now, or will it get better over time?

It's back
I had been concerned that because of my age - 73, treatment might be hard to come by, but he suggested that as I have been NED for two and a half years it would be Carbo again with Caelex rather than
Taxol
as I suffered with severe neuropathy last time. Any thoughts on this combo would be welcome.

Genomic testing for the right drug for your type of cancer cell.
Taxol
did bring markers down to the 700's but side effects were bad. I just started Abraxane last week. First two days were ok third day muscle and bone pain set in. My legs swelled up so bad I could not walk. Was a little better. Anyone try abraxane?.

Just to finally give you and idea of what is going on
We need to see if the weekly
Taxol
is working and if not maybe quality of life is more important at this point - hard to face.

Hi I was diagnosed 2 years ago with clear cell ovarian cancer and had 6 rounds of carbo
taxol
after a hysterectomy.I went to UCLH in london who discovered I did not have clear cell in March 2019 but germ cell yolk sac. I then needed more surgery and they found a new lesion that tested positive.

Covid 19 letters and first time user of anastrazole.
I have been on
taxol
weekly chemo for over a yr now. Got a stable scan 3 weeks ago. So they have now stopped chemo and put me on anastrazole for a month because of corona virus. Not been told what happens after that or when next appt is. Do any of you ladies take daily anastrazole?
