Mother diagnosed with Stage 4 BC
I am aware that in US the standard currently is
Taxol
+ Herceptin + Perjeta. As per my doctor, FEC is as or more effective than
Taxol
but
Taxol
has been propagated more because it is expensive and benefits the Pharmas. Would love to hear some learned opinions on the same 2.

Low Platelets
I was supposed to have my 2nd round of carbo/
taxol
today. I couldn't have treatment because my platelet count was low (87). When they first checked my blood, it was 155, then last time before any chemo it was 114. Then today it was 87.

Mom diagnosed with stage 3c/4 serous ovarian cancer.
She currently lives abroad and her oncologist there has advised 6 cycles of
Taxol
/carboplatinum chemo weekly and then surgery. We shared her reports and scans with consultants at Royal Marsden and they suggest 3 cycles of chemo followed by surgery and then 3 more cycles of chemo.

Treatment
I was told I would start my first round today of
Taxol
/ Carbo due to filling up with the dreaded fluid and her not wishing to drain it again.

Hi I just had one dose of chemo 5weeks ago and due to high liver enzymes have not resumed, I have seen a hepatologist twice and have had extensive blood tests to rule out autoimmune conditions etc...but all evidence seems to be pointing to the drugs! I lost 70%of my hair and was nutrapenic after 10 days.and

Good news
I had a severe reaction to
Taxol
on 2nd chemo. So oncologist has taken me off it & not replaced it with another drug. So 4 chemotherapy sessions to go - just Carboplatin - fewer side effects and my hair will grow back.

What now?
Now he suggests weekly
Taxol
(3 weeks on, two off) for 6 rounds. I've had
Taxol
before and know its side effects well. Is there any experience out there willing to speculate on how long this is likely to be effective?

Day 1, I made it!
Reminder I'm on carboplatin/
taxol
. Tonight I am very tired (part I'm sure because I was so anxious up until today) & I'm achy in my back & stomach. Thank you all for your wonderful words of wisdom & encouragement. It means so much to me.

Pre surgery anxiety
I just had my 4th chemo of
taxol
/carbo on Monday. It's taken me down more than ever this time. I'm scheduled for debulking surgery on the 17th may. I have anxiety. Not so much about the surgery, but about the time afterwards when I will not be up to doing much.

All clear after first course of Carbo/Taxol
Hello to everyone on the forum. You have been such a source of encouragement and support to me since I joined in February this year. I was diagnosed with serous OC stage 3C in September 2015 and had total abdominal hysterectomy in October. Op was a success but I was discharged too soon and re admitted

Newly diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer
I will be on
Taxol
/carboplatin. Looking for any advice from anyone starting on this type chemo. Is the first round tough, does it get worse as far as side effects with each round. I have a treatment every 21 days. They won't know the stage of the cancer until they take lymph nodes/biopsies.
