Unhappy with my last oncologist appointment
Hi ladies I have just finished 24 weekly chemo (carbo
taxol
) and had debulking surgery in the summer. At my last oncologist visit I said "What now?" She said "I'll see you every three months" I asked her if at that time would I have a CA125 and a scan done. She said "No".

first chemo problems
I had carboplatin and
taxol
and spent the whole weekend being sick. I spent yesterday in hospital on a saline drip while they tried different anti emetics. I'm really concerned because I am on weekly
taxol
so I reacted that badly to half a dose. Is it likely to get worse as I have more treatments?

Secondline treatment with Avastin/Doxil
I had a complete hysterectomy followed 4 weeks later by chemotherapy with Carbo/
Taxol
for 6 rounds. I completed my last treatment on November 1, 2016. During that time I struggled with ascities, having 3 paracentesis between treatments 2-4. My CA125 was always up and down.

Decision - your views please
Now weekly
taxol
seems to be the last option and I will probably start that next week. They talked about giving me longer but I'm keen to get on with it and see whether it works and how bad the side effects are.

Platinum resistant anyone??
I did incredible on the
taxol
and Cisplatin. Cleaned me up good. Therefore not sure if these new cells are resistant to the
taxol
or Cisplatin. Changing up and starting a new chemo. CANCER is a chronic disease and will be treated as such.

Weekly Taxol
Hi Am in hospital at the moment having fluid drained from abdomen and going to start a trial of weekly
taxol
and a tablet. Wondered how everyone found weekly
Taxol
and did you get a good remission. Morag

Advice on how to manage narrowing of the bowel?
She is just about to commence 3 cycles of
taxol
and carboplatin, then major surgery to remove the mass and repair her bowel with a (hopefully temporary) stoma, before further cycles of chemo. As many of you know, the pain is horrendous but the narrowing of the bowel is causing awful trouble.

Hairy fuzz
Hi Ladies, since they stopped the
taxol
my hair has started to grow back but it looks a little fuzzy with hair in between. Do you shave off the fuzz or leave it. Thanks ladies, Damelza

Chemo Advice Please
Last time I had
Taxol
and Carboplatin but I had a terrible time. So the Oncologist has decided to just give me the Carboplatin. My worry is it's only for an hour every 3 weeks.... will this be enough? When I had
Taxol
and Carboplatin it was 7 plus hours every 3 weeks.

Treating OC as a "Chronic Disease" How to Cope..
I already did 6 cycles of
taxol
and Cisplatin. Now I'll be starting Doxil and then next month Doxil/Avastin. My team told me this is a chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, etc.... I'm so scared. Can I be NED after treatment or will I live with hopes of "controlling" this disease???

Thoughts On Avastin
Today I had cycle 6 of 6
taxol
/carbo having been diagnosed with stage 4a OC in June this year. I had surgery in Oct. My response to both has been excellent and today I feel healthy and energetic.

Make the days count....
I'm back on same carbo/
taxol
and have felt low all day. First time I was so buoyant & went through everything with ease. I was on a mission to prove I would be cured, my oncologist always said long term control but I didn't want that! He has been so pleased with me & I was given NED March '16.

Any new drug treatments I can ask the doctor about? Running low on options
She has had the following treatments: Avastin/paclitaxel/carboplatin (i think that's what it was first line) Weekly
taxol
Cisplatin/etoposide (she got 6 months from this) She is now on weekly Gemcitabine The doctor said we are running lower on options now and it is quite aggressive that it becomes resistant
