Swollen feet and and ankles
Hi everyone, as anyone had swollen feet and ankles while on weekly
taxol
also my finger nails have gone a funny colour. I saw my oncologist on Friday before I went for my 17th chemo, he said I was doing well and have been prescribed water tablets to take.

CamA 125 score climbing
Mom has been taking
taxol
but it seems like her CA 125 gets higher every week. 3 week period it went from 26 to 29 to 34. Is this a clear indication that the chemo is. It working and that the cancer is growing. What do you guys think.

Surgery looms on Thursday. Scared stiff
I was diagnosed end of October with OC stage 3c and have had 3 rounds of Carbo/
taxol
. My Ca125 dropped from 886 to 41 after 2 chemos (don't know what it is currently following the 3rd one).

Scared about chemo effects, and the future...
I've just finished 8 sessions of chemo, and had weekly
taxol
, with 3 rounds of carboplatin, and 2 of avastin. I'm due to have my surgery the 2nd week of January and then will restart another round of chemo.

Addressing and avoiding post op issues
In this country, the US, oncologists get paid by big Pharma to choose extra drugs like
Taxol
that take a long time and are expensive to administer and, in my case was not even effective. I also found out about pelvic floor physical therapy.

Massage and neuropathy
After 10 rounds with
taxol
, I suddenly got neuropathy in my hands about 4 days before my next treatment. I had happened to schedule a massage on the same day as my next chemo, and since then it has been completely gone. Coincidence or am I on to something? Thanks for your input! Kristie

Questions
I have completed 5 rounds of N-ACT ( 4 Adrimycin + 1 Paclitaxel) with 3 more
taxol
to go. After my 4th chemo, I do not feel the lump anymore and my onc did not advise for a scan as he is happy with my response to chemo. Please answer the below: 1. Should I insist for a scan midway?

Panicking a little bit..
I'm so worried it's not going to be good news and I've been informed I'll need weekly
taxol
if the scan shows growth, what will happen then? I'm struggling to remain positive and feel really tearful at the prospect of yet more of this damn chemo 😓 It's all a bit pants!!!

Taxol stopped after second dose
Just had taxel stopped after second dose leaving four solo carboplatin to go. Did I lose my hair for nothing or will just two doses make a difference!?

19 Years & we are here.
My wife was on the Carbo/
Taxol
regiment 19 years ago for Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer. This was when the use of the two drugs were still in the experimental stage. The doses weren't known yet, so she was given very high amounts.

Taxol or tamoxifin versus radiotherapy for 4th line
Hello everyone, I saw the oncologist yesterday and he has offered me the above for 3c diagnosed early 2013. Doxil (3rd line) didn't work and the main tumour is in the vaginal cuff. I think I've decided on radiotherapy as it is less hazardous to my body. Is there anyone out there who has chosen this course

My journey with ovarian cancer
I was told that I would receive chemotherapy as a "belt and braces" precaution and started a course of 6 treatments of chemo (
Taxol
/Carboplatin) in July. I was given a list of possible side effects but in the end got off lightly with loss of hair and tiredness.

Weekly taxol - helpful hints anyone ?
I saw the doc yesterday and he asked when I wanted to start weekly
taxol
(we'd discussed that as an option already). I said 'tomorrow' but they can't fit me on till next Wednesday.

Second opinion?
So Mum has to have a further six months treatment of
taxol
again and the consultant said that after this the NHS has nothing more but trials.....surely if the caelyx and carboplatin were helping and starting to Plato her results then it was starting to work?? I am not giving up on this.
