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.

The carboplatin didn't work.
They're offering me
taxol
for 12 - 18 weeks, but with a low expectation of it working. In the last fortnight I've had a chest infection, a urine infection and an arthritis flare-up, all of which made me feel grotty. Realistically it seems I will not be able to cope with chemo so frequently.

Back on the Roller coaster!
In September Whilst finishing weekly
taxol
for a third reoccurence my marker started to shoot up from 10 to 14 then 44. Chemo was stopped and I was put on Letrozole. WE took a holiday and I felt ok. On return my marker had shot up to 179 but a scan showed a small amount of disease and was stable.

Hello ladies, well, Monday's scan showed conclusively that the weekly dose-dense
taxol
-carbo has stopped working, and the tumour(s) are back where they were in September. I did gain some time, but I will have to start a new regime, one without platinum as am clearly resistant.

Ho hum. As my Onc said when I saw him last Monday, " Hello. You've been in the wars again, haven't you?"
But it appears to be 'just' another bit of ovarian cancer which has decided to play silly buggers and I am due to start my fifth course of chemo shortly - Caelyx this time, every 4 weeks over 6 months, the hope being that a completely new (to me) drug will prove more effective than the carbo/

Starting Chemo Friday, Jan 11....and scared
I start chemo (
taxol
and carboplatin) on Friday. Total of 6 treatments, three weeks apart....ovarian cancer was deemed aggressive...so they want to be aggressive!!? I am scared to death, while doing my best to keep a good attitude, and being grateful for having found the ovarian cancer so early.

Any advice on best questions to ask oncologist prior to last round of Carboplatin/taxol next week?
I'm 49 and was diagnosed with Stage 3C ovarian cancer last summer. I've been on 3 weekly treatment since September last year and have struggled much more emotionally than physically I would say. Partner of 25 years went off with lady friend at beginning of 2012 which was devastating. I have fantastic

Weekly taxol-missed session
Hello Ladies has anyone gone though dose-dense weekly
taxol
but had to miss two weeks? Did this have any effect on your overall treatment/prognosis/remission? Thank you.
