Does remission time get shorter after each recurrance?
I was diagnosed Stage 1a Sept 11, has total hyst and 6 sessions
taxol
/carbo. After last check up in Nov CA125 has risen to 54 and subsequent CT showed a recurrance in two lymph glands. Now waiting to see if I can get op or will be further chemo.

tearful and sad after remission
I had grade 3b ov had debaulking surgery and 6 carbo/
taxol
. I stayed strong and determined during my treatment and never allowed myself to get weepy or feel sorry for myself. A positive attitude is the only way to go. Now I keep going to pieces.

Genetic testing - yes or no?
I am currently undergoing 4th line chemo (carboplatin and
taxol
again) having being diagnosed with OC in April 2011. I have 2 daughters, both in their 30s, and I am naturally concerned that my having OC may mean they will be predisposed to the disease too.

Dear Ladies, Starting third line treatment with weekly
Taxol
on Wednesday - only off treatment since July. Interested in hearing from anyone with positive experience of alternative treatments. Started Iscador also this week and have an appointment with Dr.Rosie Daniels in Bath next week.

Don't despair when relapse occurs!
In 2011 I became resistant to Carboplatin so had Topotecan followed by Gemcitabine and from June 2012 had weekly
Taxol
.

Another Day
Of course the possitivity for chemo had to come from somewhere I can almost quote every chemo drug and which ones are used together, because of my anti-
Taxol
stance, I read a report from October this year that gave the different combi options, but it did say that carboplatin/
taxol
is still considered

List Writing
I'm just writing my list of things to ask the consultant on the 4th, not exactly a Christmas list, one of the things I'm wondering is would just having carboplatin without the
taxol
be good enough, and my concerns about early onset dementia due to the lack of oestrogen, I've got dry skin my hair feels

My Journey, as promised!
Back on Carbo platin but no
taxol
because of residual neuropathy so, thank goodness no hair loss. This time I did the chemo by myself.

Post Op/Chemo Results
The 3 cycles of carbo/
taxol
post op has done nothing to reduce the tumours left on my bowel and diaphragm. There is no disease south of my navel, considering my pelvis was almost frozen I can be very grateful to my surgeon. Further surgery that was an option at one time is not on now.

Update as promised
Baseline CT scan done on Monday and then 1st of 6 chemotherapy sessions yesterday, avestin,
taxol
& carboplatin. Was surprised that it took 7 1/2 hours at the hospital for the chemo, but I am not feeling too bad so far.
