options after carboplatin and taxol
Hello I’m posting on behalf of my mother who has had 2 recurrences of ovarian cancer and we’ve just found that the weekly
taxol
that she’s been having isn’t working.

Can anyone help with eating tips post de-bulking?
My Mum hasn't been eating much over the last few months due to a combination of cancer and 4 chemo cycles (carbo-
taxol
) so finding things she likes has been a challenge. All suggestions greatly welcomed.

Scan result-no shrinkage but surgery going ahead!
Hiya I had my mid treatment scan results today (had 3 cycles of
taxol
carbo) and my tumours havent changed at all. Onc thought this would be the case as my biopsy revealed low grade (yet Im stage 3 with spread to omentum).

Has anyone experienced trouble with their fingernails?
I have been on weekly
Taxol
/Carbo and because my nails are very tender and there is a chance I might lose some of them, I have been taken off
Taxol
.

I'm so fed up and disappointed - is anyone else in the same situation?
I finished 7 cycles of Carbo/
Taxol
on 7th December. I had my ovaries removed initially at the beginning of April 2011 due to multiple "nasty" cysts as an incidental finding when presenting with a polyp in the womb and the histology came back as a surprise to my surgeon and myself as Stage IIC OC.

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.

Good News!
Hi I'm a relatively new member to the website, having been diagnosed with OC 1C having surgery and 6
taxol
/carboplatin treatments. Just had my first scan and they are all clear. The nurse gave me the results over the phone as I can't get to see my oncologist until 16 March.

What after taxol/carbo fails?
Taxol
carbo didnt work to shrink my tumours, Im being referred to the Marsden and wondered what I might be offered next for slow growing OC. They have mentioned I might go on a trial.

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.
