Good news!
I hope it encourages others who may be needing to start on
Taxol
or Abraxane. I started Abraxane in February after my early January scan showed a lot more liver metastases. I also have lots of bone mets. I had been on Xeloda for 7 months before that.

Buying a wig
I have been told the carboplatin I took for first recurrence has not worked so I need to take
Taxol
for 3 weeks on one week off. This will mean I will lose my hair. I feel very dismayed about this. Any advise on buying and wearing a wig please.

No Dice - Back to Bath for Laura
I would have thought that weekly
Taxol
alone would destroy my cancer, but no, and the nasty TAK228, did not help either. But, it did slow the progress, so I am not too bad off.

Nausea 1 week after carbo taxol
Also...has anyone had crazy bladder pain from carbo
taxol
(paclitaxol)? I think it's probably just my dumb body (I have bladder issues in the past) but figured I'd ask.

Strange side effects
I am currently undergoing chemo for triple negative breast ca completed AC and on 4 of 12 of
taxol
. Wondering if anyone else has any aches or pain in legs at night from this drug? I also have MS and concerned it might be a relapse but never had any leg issues with my MS.

Supplements during treatment
Hi, I am half way through my chemo (carbo/
taxol
) and am awaiting surgery in the next couple of weeks. I have a very healthy diet (fruit/veg/nuts/berries/green tea and olive oil) and a positive mind. But I was wondering what supplements are advisable. Many thanks.

Goodbye Xeloda, Hello Taxol or Abraxane
I would love to hear of your experiences with
Taxol
or Abraxane. I think I'm most worried about the solvent Cremophor that is needed with
Taxol
, as Cremophor is basically castor oil and I had a bad reaction to it years ago when I used it topically.

Disappointment on the DICE trial
Meanwhile, I have just entered the 6th cycle of the DICE trial, where I have been on the trial arm of weekly
Taxol
and three days of the trial drug, TAK228 each week for five months.

Scan results mixed 😢
Hi Girls, Feeling scared as after two months off chemo (
Taxol
) my livers mets have progressed to the same size as they had reduced to after nine weeks on
Taxol
. My lung and spine mets are stable. So basically it is back to chemo for as long as I can take it.

Operation?
I am high grade stage 3-4 and have so far had 4 chemo's (carbo/
taxol
).with very good results. I was due for the operation this week, but due to low blood counts, it has been cancelled for the next week or so.

Tel. Consultation.
She has suggested I can wait and have blood tests and scans,or zap it with carbo/
taxol
, or immunotherapy. The last thing I know nothing about. Anyway it was quite a long consultation,and very informative.

Just finished frontline and am anxious
Good response to dose dense carbo and
taxol
. I am not BRCA +, and my oncologist said that I’m a watch and wait as a result. Parps are not helpful in preventing recurrences in BRCA -. Only used after recurrence when BRCA-. I had my tumors tested, too. No BRCA.

Really Down
Some of you are aware that are following me , I had a change in my scan in October they started me on
Taxol
but that doesn't seem to be working asites after 3 cycles keeps having to be drained about 7liters at a time. It is also swelling my ankles and my legs feel stiff.

Pendle99 : Farewell to Penny
Since being diagnosed in November of 2017, when she was only 48, she has never been out of treatment, suffering through Carbo/
taxol
and Avastin, then Carbo/Caelyx, straight into weekly
taxol
. I met her through this forum when we discovered that we both lived in Bath and had the same Oncologist.

No op
Did Carbo/
taxol
, good response and now on PARP Olaparib, but no operation . I have respect for surgeon so accepted when he said no advantage to surgery , with liver involvement . So my question is , is there anyone else in this position. Most people seem to have had some surgery ? ?
