Not coping well with carbo/taxol & family life
Was just getting stronger & feeling better when they dropped the bombshell I had to have 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
I have had 1 round of
taxol
only due to timing issues and suffered side effects - painful legs being the hardest although now all my hair is gone I am gutted.

It’s back!
So looking like weekly carbo/
taxol
for 3 weeks with 1 week off for 6 months. Had this mix 5 years ago for first chemo and worked amazingly well going me over 3 years NED, so he wants to go down this route as he said I responded so well to it before.

In focus: managing the effects of chemotherapy - neuropathy
The chemotherapy drugs most likely to cause neuropathy are platinum-based drugs such as carboplatin and the taxane family of drugs, including paclitaxel (
Taxol
).

Good news!
My mum has had 2 rounds of weekly
taxol
so far and has a 3 weekly herceptin injection. She will have 12 weekly taxols. She has 4 small spots on her liver and had her first tumour marker blood results back on Tuesday and it’s already dropped 100 marks just after 1 treatment in 1 week! 😄

Taxol side effects
HiI have just had the first round of
taxol
chemo for low grade oc. Had it over 3 hours on Monday. Wednesday started to get pains down my thighs which have since got worse. I was directed to local a&e who have put it down to side effects.

Taxol and nose bleeds?
Hi there, Just wondering if anyone else is having nosebleeds on
Taxol
? I know it is only a small thing, but added to everything else I could do without it :) Have been trying vaseline as my nose is so raw. Ruth

Chemo Resistance?
I have been receiving weekly doses of this
taxol
and built up a resistance and am now also on Avastin that is administered every 3rd week. The difference in cost is incredible! Has anyone else been through this? I suppose it happens on the other chemo drugs as well.

Olaparib or not?
Carbo
taxol
worked well and my oncologist was amazed by my response to the regime. Avastin followed and I have been treatment free since this January. My CA125 is currently 9, so all is well.

Taxol/ Dizziness
I did round 3 of
Taxol
on the 14th of June and today my head feels slightly heavy and it’s almost like vertigo, I’m nervous but appetite is strong and I’m weak and this is Day 10 after the fact, could this be a sign of a brain met?

Afinitor : very tough side effects. Any1 else on this oral drug?
Never had such awful side effects...even on
Taxol
infusions back in 2014( original diagnosis year). Nausea to vomiting. Then that stopped, on to awful diahrrea which lasted way too long. Lost almost 10 lbs from loss of appetite.

Did anyone on Carboplatin &
Taxol
chemo have the following symptoms (which developed following the 2nd course): some sensory loss on epidermis and loss of internal sensation, including inside of throat (no feeling when swallowing), inside of abdomen (no feeling of taking air into abdomen)?

NED
Is
Taxol
the next step or are there other pills before that? Has anyone been given or are there discussions about Immunotherapy which, I guess is the Big Guns in this fight/battle whatever it is we’re all going thru?

Liver biopsy results
Anyways it’s still er positive with her 2 expression so he’s decided to go ahead with weekly
taxol
and hercepten. But she also has HETEROGENEITY which means not all her cancer cells are the same some are more positive than others some are negative and some are full positive and vice versa.
