Weekly Taxol plus Avastin
They have decided to use weekly
taxol
plus twice monthly avastin. On first line I had carbo/
taxol
. On the second day after treatment is when the severe fatigue set in and the ickys. Second line was avastin/doxil. I tolerated that incredibly well.

NiCCC BIBF1120 trial
I only had 5 of 6 carbo /
taxol
as it caused low blood levels, but apparently was totally ineffective . I was offered palliative care and a possibility of a clinical trial. It was quite a blow, and not delivered with a great deal of sensitivity.

Genetic testing BRCA Negative, Tumor BRCA+
She went through debulking surgery and 6 rounds Carbo/
Taxol
. She was deemed NED. She had a recurrence in abdominal lymph nodes earlier this year. They decided to surgically remove, chemo again carbo/gemzar (too much neuropathy from
Taxol
).

What options after chemo?
The doc then tried Gemzar and now
Taxol
. She previously indicated that she would try Caelyx if the
taxol
didn't work but Mam always seems to have an allergic reaction to her chemo so the consultant thinks it would make her worse.

CRAZY WITH CA125
I had 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
chemo and I am in remission now. My CA 125 prior to surgery was 285, after the surgery dropped to 29, after my first round of chemo dropped to 20, second round to 12, third round to 11. Then it stabilized and it's been more or less the same since then.

Anyone with liver metastasis
It, along with the
taxol
, seems to have beaten the beast back for a good while! Just wondering if anyone has had the monster take up residence in their liver, and what was done. You are all in my thoughts and prayers every day. Thank you for your support....JudyV

Final update
I was offered weekly
taxol
and told this would have a 50% chance of bringing some relief but would be unlikely to resolve the bowel obstructions. I declined. I have been passed to palliative care and am now in the local Hospice.

Hello everyone - introducing me!
I'm on weekly chemo - part of the ICON8B trial, which is messing up my veins - and having Carboplatin,
Taxol
and Bevacizumab (Avastin). Two cycles in, lots more treatment to come. Coping well so far. Hoping the tumour will be reduced enough by end of June to enable the operation.

Cold caps
Hi everyone, has anyone out there had success wearing a cold cap while on weekly
taxol
infusions? I will shortly be having fifth line treatment and would really like to keep my hair this time around. I hope everyone is keeping up their spirits on the roulette wheel of life. Carole H 😊 x

Joint Pain
I finished my chemo of carboplatin and
taxol
on 30th January this year. About 6 weeks after I started to get joint pain. Mainly my knees ,wrists and nuckles. I frequently wake up in the night where my hands have gone numb. I also have pains in my feet.

Quick question for clarity's sake
I know it has been said you need to go 6 months without recurrence to be considered platinum sensitive but doesn't the history of my reaction to the chemo (carbo/
taxol
) indicate I am sensitive to it anyway? I can't stop thinking about this and stress levels are high.

CA125
I was 3C in Jan 2015 and CA was 700, I had debulking surgery in Dec 2015 followed by 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
with 18 rounds of Avastin... long may all this continue. I wanted to share as at the beginning of my diagnosis I was totally devastated as we all know this feeling.

Post Avastin
Has any one been on weekly
Taxol
. ? I suffer terribly with constipation and wondered if any of you had any ideas on that as well. I usually overdose with laxatives and end up with diarrhoea. So I am desperate for some advice from you lovely ladies in every respect.

New to the group!
So far I had 4
taxol
and carbo chemos out of 6. The first 2 chemos I had horrid reactions, first time I had a PE which had me stay a couple days in the hospital and the 2nd chemo I caught shingles, I still have scars on my neck and face. Though the most recent chemo had little to no reaction.

Cramping
I had 6 cycles of the standard carboplatin/
taxol
. My CA125 has hovered around 7.6 since my first chemo May '16. My CT scan was clear back in October. Have any of you experienced this? It really has been bothering me that it may be coming back.
