4th line chemo - starting all over again!
Unfortunately, the b*****r is on the rise again, all the awful symptoms are back, CA125 is up at 868, and I will now be starting Carbo/
Taxol
yet again. I had this the first two times - 1 chemo every three weeks for 6 chemos.

Hi I was diagnosed in Dec 2012, have had carbo/
taxol
, debulking, weekly
taxol
followed by weekly Topotecan with almost no break in between. Just recently the bloating and pain has returned and a scan has shown that the disease has progressed in all areas. I believe I am still stage 3 though.

Hi everyone
Had one dose of weekly
taxol
which left me in and out of hospital. Have had numerous drains of fluid. Was told by palliative care doctor well it's not going to get any better.

Saw my oncologist today
Saw my onc today I am on 18 weekly
taxol
I was hoping he might say that there was a likelihood of a remission, but instead he said I would be on chemo more or less all the time.

Tamoxifen
I had the usual surgery and then
taxol
and carbo. In remission for a short while about 4 months and just found out the cancer has flared up again. Was given tamoxifen on Friday and will be seeing my oncologist in 6 weeks to assess.

Update on mum, CA 125 lower, but CT scan not clear.
He is going to reduce the dosage of the
taxol
. Her CA125 is much improved, so they asked the Onc why they needed to continue the chemo and he told then that whilst the debunking had gone well, the scan showed there was some cancer left behind. Anyone have any experience like this?

Tamoxifen
I'm on my 5th line of chemo, with Topotecan, having passed through
taxol
+ carbo (twice), Caelyx, then more
taxol
-carbo (weekly), and this has been going on for almost 4 years. It's now clear that my tumour is platinum resistant, and that is why I moved to Topotecan.

First Caelyx went smoothly
I think they were being super careful as I had problems with
taxol
(slowed down to 4 hours plus extra antihistamines after a reaction in the first ever dose which involved oxygen being given.....) I also had a reaction to carbo last year which was why they switched me to cistplatin!

Extremely depressed
I don't seem to get my strength back after the weekly
taxol
, I feel so weak . I am only on number 6 I don't know if I can survive another 12 treatments I suppose if I knew It would give a good remission but I don't feel very positive. So sorry to moan but feel you dear ladies understand.

Has anyone shaved their head before their hair dropped out?
I'll be starting
Taxol
on the 31st and thought after the first dose and wig acquired I would shave my head. The reason for this is I think it will make me feel a little in control of what is happening to me.
