Hello all - I finished 18 weeks of carbo/
taxol
on Nov. 1. Had some tingling in hands and toes before finishing chemo which I was told happens. I did ice hands and feet during
Taxol
. Has anyone had this continually worsen after finishing chemo?

Topotecan & hair loss
I’ve read that hair loss is a likely side effect so I enquired about using a cold cap during treatment as it worked really well for me when I was on weekly
Taxol
. However, the nurses at the unit have said it’s not necessary for Topotecan.

My first post - being brave!
Just before I started chemo (
taxol
/Carbo) my oncologist explained that the cancer is now in my peritoneum, my liver and stomach nodes. Such a shock to find out that the cancer is not curable. She guessed at a year’s life expectancy. I’m 52 and thought I’d be around much longer!

Game-changers: Tips for Managing Chemo Side Effects
Hair that's going to fall out: Drugs like
Taxol
and Taxotere (and others) almost always cause hair loss. I've lost my hair a couple times and I can tell you this - it can be traumatic (even if you think you're prepared). So, here's what I suggest: 1. Cut your hair short before you start.

Repeat surgery after recurrance
I recurred after 3 months and am on weekly
Taxol
due to be reviewed soon. Surgery has not been mentioned and I haven't raised it as I assumed it just wasn't worthwhile.

My first Post
Started on 6 rounds chemo (
taxol
and carbo platen). After each round my CA-125 dropped (4988, 596,33) and by round 4, 13.2. I then went for debulking surgery on April 25th. Robotic surgery was performed removing my omentum with 1 small nodule and a full hysterectomy at UF Health in Gainesville,Fl.

taxol
and had optimal debulking surgery. Next week Monday is her first ct scan and Tuesday she meets her oncologist to go over the scan. Her scan after 2 treatments was according to her oncologist “great news”.

Ascites and drain
I am due to start Immunotherapy in 2-3 weeks as I feel I have exhausted most other options with Carboplatin/
Taxol
cisplatin, avastin and now olaparib too. Has anyone had a successful drain without going straight onto chemotherapy I am fearful it will build up again fast while I am waiting.

BCS or Mastectomy
My wife is under going Chemo for her breast cancer and surgery is to follow after Chemo 4AC + 12
Taxol
, Herceptin . Oncologist is asking us whether we want breast conservative surgery or Mastectomy. They need to fix some metallic marker in case of BCS. I invite suggestions or pros and cons of both!
