Should I get a port?
I had surgery and completed 18 weeks of Carbo/
taxol
and weekly blood draws without a port (at my doctor’s suggestion). I have had a reoccurrence and am receiving Carbo/doxil once a month and a monthly blood draw still without a port. Inserting the IV is becoming more difficult and painful.

I have just finished with 2/4 AC with 12 weeks of
taxol
after. I am waiting on gene studies to make a decision on lumpectomy vs mastectomy after chemo. What are others thoughts in surgery options?

Advice
As some of you know I started
Taxol
on Tue and I'm due my second one this Tue. Can anybody tell me how long before the asites started to go, only last couple of days I feel it's really bothering me again and feel bloated, it's been about a month since I had it drained.

Knowing that the oncologist wants me on
taxol
and all that involves. The last 3 months have been pretty hard and having to wait so long for my scan results is so challenging! And that's the politest description I can think of!

Back from London, tired, but hopeful
Very briefly, she wants me to first do molecular testing for which I will have to return to London again and discuss with my oncologist the possibilities still left to me, such as
Taxol
plus Avastin weekly, if the Caelyx as stopped working, or going on to using other chemos, such as Gemcilabine, etc.

Not great update
Course of action is to stop the carboplatin and
taxol
, and start on a chemo pill called temodar. Take it once a day for five days, and rest for 28. I am full of emotions. This was a hit.. just wanted to update.. Love to all

Stressful time
My last one was in June which was weekly
taxol
. After a month I developed the shakes, i had a brain scan which didn't show anything so I was recommended to see a neurologist. This appointment is on Thursday. My CA125 level has risen so chemo has been cancelled.

Update on Treatment
They propose
Taxol
given 2weeks then one off, it's been two half years since last time combined with Carbo but I am resistant to platinum now. So will have it on its own. Upset will lose hair again just got it right, this will be my 4th line treatment in two and half years.

Weekly taxol
Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone’s had any success with just weekly
taxol
. I went through weeks of tests to see if I qualified to go on the dice trial, did qualify, but was randomly NOT chosen, which seemed such a waste of time, so now been put on weekly
taxol
as my 4th line chemo

Triple Negative Breast Cancer
I am having accelerated chemo - 4 cycles of EC every two weeks, followed by 12 cycles of
Taxol
weekly with Carboplatin added every three weeks. That should end in February when I have an operation. I'm waiting results of a gene test in case I need a double mastectomy.
