Questions about Mum
She had a full hysterectomy followed by carbo/
taxol
. She recurred last January and has had six cycles of carboplatin and is now on Tamoxifen. The doctors were really pleased with her response to both treatments. She had a scan in July and another in October and there had been no change.

What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of Carboplatin, and first of
Taxol
and Avastin last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it.

Diagnosed with stage 1c 6 weeks ago.
I have been advised to have 6 cycles of chemo to mop up, was told there is very little evidence that giving carboplatin and
taxol
will increase my chances of it not recurring as against having the carbo alone. So that is what I am doing, starting next Tues.

Taxol/Carbo
I had my first round of chemo a couple of weeks ago and for the most part it went well. The Neulasta shot afterwards was what really got me down due to achy bones which was nearly unbearable at times. Im starting to lose some hair which has me highly emotional. I'll be having my second treatment next

Another pleural effusion - Scared of recurrence....
Had 2 carbo/
taxol
, but because of side affects of
taxol
resulting in two x 2 weeks in hospital, plus really bad neuropathy,
taxol
was stopped. I had 2 pulmonary embolisms, pleural effusion and am on Tinzaparin. I then had 2 more carbo before surgery in March 2016.

Good morning everyone, I have just finished 6 sessions of carbo/
taxol
(the last 4 with avastin) and have a further 14 sessions of avastin ahead of me. Every time I had chemo, I developed a UTI, for which I was prescribed anti-biotics.

Allergic Reaction to Carbo
I was told that with the combination of
Taxol
/Carbo I would have 90% survival rate but now I'm unsure how this is going to affect my chances. My mind is now clouded with negative thoughts and I'm so scared.

ICON8B and Avastin/bevicumizab
I am currently on cymbalta and vitamin b6 for the lack of feeling in my feet and finger tips (from
taxol
) and lyrica for my painful feet. I have also used acupuncture and Epsom salt foot baths. The only thing I can attribute painful feet to is the avastin.

Hello
This was followed with weekly chemo with carboplatin and
taxol
. I was unwell during chemo but once completed felt really well. I had my Stoma reversed in July 2015. However in January 2016 found the cancer was back. I had more chemo starting in January.

Back on
taxol
which I was on last year and it's working. Also had chemo yesterday too, was wondering if I would be having it due to the rash I have got but was told I could go ahead with it. Came away a happy bunny 👯 xx
