Clear cell stage 2 ovarian - should my mum have chemo?
The cyst ruptured during surgery and so the consultant has recommended carboplatin /
Taxol
chemotherapy 6 cycles in 3 week sections. They completed several washes during surgery to try to eliminate any cancerous cells remaining.

Endometrial Cancer- 8 months remission-after 4 years trying
I had an 8 month remission after the first round of chemo (carbo-
taxol
) then went on carbo gemzar (with a short try at doxil). With the carbo gemzar I was moslty NED while on chemo, but my doc said we should do it for a whole year. So I did. Also Avastin. I am still on Avastin.

Just started taxol/carbo a few days ago..crazy leg pain
Just finished my first round of
taxol
/carbo 3 days ago and have been experiencing terrible leg and body cramps/spasms. Presently lying in bed hoping for relief. I've been using a heating pad but the pain is all over my body and I just want to sleep. Going to ask the nurses about this tomorrow.

1916 - Ann - (aka Liz)
So yesterday as I sat in my chemo chair (you all know the type) ready to commence my 2nd line treatment (another lot of Carbo/
Taxol
) The call came from Liz’s number, I thought you beat me to it I was going to message once I was underway.

Latest update
My latest news since my drain is , my oncologist was pleased with me on Tues I have had one
Taxol
before and my C A 125 had dropped by 200 from 400 . When I was first diagnosed 3 half years ago it was only 156 so I was worried.

Here we go again - again!!
I finished 18 weeks of
taxol
at the start of October with a rising CA125. The scan I had straight after showed some progression in my primary tumour and a new growth on my liver which had grown in 3 months.

Whine whine whine
Every treatment I receive
taxol
, aloxi,decadron,benadryl and pepcid. Every third treatment I receive the aforementioned as well as carboplatin and either the placebo or the trial drug, atezolizumab. I had grown my hair very long in the past few years.

Any 2 time Chemo warriors?
My oncologist had me scheduled to re insert my port Tuesday, and I had my first weekly round of
taxol
. I've been fighting for 4 years, so I'm okay. Just pushed and exhausted. I wish I didnt have to deal with this. My poor kids are 5,8,and 11. I hate they have to have their mom sick.

BLOODY NOSE
I have just finished 16 infusions of
taxol
. Coped with it very well but; a day or so after treatment my nose would start to bleed very slightly, not pouring just dripping and last for five or six days. Has anyone else had anything similar.

Foundation one genomic testing
My markers went down to 300 when I was on
Taxol
I then got very sick and had to stop. They are now up to 2770 since June. I was on Kisqali with no side effects but as you see it did not work. So everyone check into Foundation one testing. It is the new thing she said. Hope it helps me. Barbara
