The jam jar is getting fuller!
I had 5th line chemo last october ... weekly
taxol
which brought my chemo down from 4000 to 380. The oncologist was very pleased with my general health and well being. All blood results A1 except that 125.

The differences between serous papillary and clear cell?
Hiah, I had serous pappillary on my ovary and had carbo and
taxol
- I recently found out I also had clear cell in my uterus but no one else has actually spoken about this to me. When I asked why?

How does ovarian cancer recur if you don't have ovaries anymore?
I am now on a chemo regime of Carbo/
Taxol
and had my second treatment today, apparently I will have 4 more.

Mum's CA125 level now reduced to 175....
She was admitted to the hospice after 7 weeks low dose chemo (Carbo/
Taxol
) as an inpatient in hospital - with severe vomiting, dehydration, blood clot, ascites draining - all in all a bit of a nightmare time over Christmas and New Year.

Could it be back?
I had an excellent response to my chemo carbo/
taxol
and at the end of 6 sessions my CA125 was down to 30.5 (the highest was 290).

Has anyone had their spleen and gallbladder removed during debaulking surgery?
My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 OC in Dec 11, had initial surgery, then 3 cycles of carbo/
taxol
chemo which was efficient in reducing CA125, then another extensive surgery (supra-radical) end of March when uterus/lymph nodes/spleen/gall bladder/pieces of colon were removed.

Why have they booked this 'extra' chemo?
I saw the consultant with her after the first rounds of chemo and she basically said it hadn't cleared as much of the cancer as they wanted and they wanted to do 3 rounds of carbo/
taxol
before operating. She seemed very definate that they would operate straight after this.

I have had one course of chemo carbo/taxol which my cancer did not respond to. I am awaiting a operation date.
Will they give me a different chemo drug after surgery?

Taxol
On my third chemo the
taxol
was reduced because of damage to my nerve endings. I also have a stoma which was done during my de-bulking surgery. This was being quite badly affected during the chemo, again this was put down to the
taxol
.

Leg pain Taxol
I've had 2 rounds of
taxol
/carbo and my shins and feet kill. The first time lasted about 4 days. This time longer. Any suggestions for easing the pain would help. I'm on painkillers but had a reaction to them paracetomol doesn't help much.

THE REASON WHY I HAVE BEEN REFUSED AVASTIN - but it aint over yet folks
Future treatments could involve Gencitabine which he would use only as a single drug because of my wobbly neutrophils, or possibly weekly
Taxol
, or other drugs he didn't specify - it depends entirely on how I am once this current lot of chemo is over.

Cabozantinib (XL184) Trial Drug - update
I have already had carbo/
taxol
, caeylx and Topetecan. A good proportion of my tumours were cyst-like. The drug works by attacking the blood supply to the tumours. Mine have significantly reduced in size and are haemoraging.

My recurrence, would welcome your experiences and suggestions.
My undestanding is that there is no detriment to delaying of teatment to outcome and I will be able to have carbo/
taxol
again.
