Carboplatin and Taxol - very scared!
Hi, soon I am supposed to start my chemo but I am extremely scared. Some people say it's unbearable, some say it's not that bad. Just trying to figure out some pattern there! Not so bothered about losing my hair but extremely scared of neuropathy as it obviously might never go away. I am a musician and

Sorry
Also I am starting weekly
taxol
next Friday which I have been trying to avoid for a long time. I don’t think I have any alternatives left. Feeling so sorry for myself. On the plus side I have an extremely supportive hubby who is also feeling very sad.

Riddled with anxiety
She then completed dose dense carbo and
taxol
. He pre-op ca125 was around 200 and since her second week of chemo it has been single digits. Every 3 months she goes for a scan (MRI the doctor let her choose because she was concerned with radiation) and a ca125.

To chemo or not to chemo?
I’m due to have my 5th Carbo/
Taxol
tomorrow. Last week we went away for a few days to Suffolk where we have a Lodge which is normally our safe peaceful haven, wanting to make the most of my good week with some lovely walks and eating out whilst food tastes reasonably pleasant!!!

463.3 Ca125 is this beatable?
My Mother was diagnosed with stage 1 in 2017 and after 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
it went to the liver and she became stage 4. We went for alternative treatment and almost had it beat. Then something happened and mom went off all the supplements.

Working through chemo
I am on
Taxol
weekly for 3 weeks and then off one week. I just completed my fourth infusion and am progressively getting fatigued. Find myself spending more days in bed. I ask myself if I am nuts trying to continue to work (I am a consultant and am working remotely and mostly from my bed).

Special Person update
Hi lovelies, Saw my Special Person’s oncologist today and it went far better than expected, so as some of you are aware we were expecting to be offered either weekly
Taxol
or the DICE trial.

Waiting for Appointment for Clinical Trial
Hi, I’ve completed 18 weeks of
Taxol
following first recurrence and unfortunately the end of treatment scan showed disease progression. I had the standard Carbo/
Taxol
initially, then a recurrence after around 4 months so was started on Caelyx, which didn’t work and was swapped to weekly
Taxol
.

Amazing news!
We started me on chemo (
Taxol
). I received it weekly for 3 weeks with fourth week off. I tolerated it well except for the fatigue. I received 9/12 infusions before another PET Scan was repeated.

CT Results in. Not what we wanted
They recommend two more chemos of carbo/
taxol
. This is just devastating, anyone have a similar situation?

Update on My Mom ❤️
My mom had her 8th of 8th infusion of
taxol
/Carbo today and I’m just hoping this really does the trick. She met with surgical oncologist today and he informed us that he’s not 100% confident the last nodule on her liver is cancer.

Time to go or not?!
So I was given 3 rounds of Carboplatin and
Taxol
in Sep, Oct Nov last year. The first 2 worked but the Nov infusion failed, this was shown to be the case by a CT scan shortly before Christmas.

Niraparib
Previously had carbo/
taxol
and then cistoplatin/gemzar which were all successful but now am platinum resistance. Caelyx is tough as has me knocked sideways. Ca125 are decreasing slowing. They peaked at over 600 now at just over 500 after 4 infusions.

stage 1c mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary
Carboplatin and
taxol
. In 2016 I had a pre cancerous tumour very small and CIN 1 on my cervix. However I did not test positive for the HPV which is associated with abnormal cells of the cervix. However the consultant at the time said it was not related to my previous cancer...

Neuropathy inquiries
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!
