Gemcitabine vs Topotecan
Hi all Was wondering if anyone had opinions or experience of whether Gemcitabine or
Topotecan
have advantages/disadvantages over each other? Either would be given together with Avastin on a weekly basis.

Has your Oncologist broke up with you???
Well Hello, On Thursday went to start my 2nd cycle of
Topotecan
, which I thought was the norm type of day - blood drawn, labs, visit Dr and then get treatment. Well when my Oncologist came into the room sat down and said he thinks it isn't working because lately I was getting nauseous.

On to another Chemo Drug - Topotecan or also known as Hycamtin
So now will be on
Topotecan
. Which is once a week for three weeks ans then off one. Am not familiar with this one at all. Was wondering if any of my teal sisters ever took this, and what I need to watch for and if it worked.

Can anyone tell me about topotecan experiences
I am about to start a course of
topotecan
as third line for ovarian cancer, having previously tried carbo/paclitaxol, followed by Caelyx which I felt was helping but was deemed to have failed. Has anyone had
topotecan
and how did it go?

Now to try topotecan
I’ve now been offered
topotecan
, i.v., five days on, two weeks off, and wonder if anyone else has tried this and how they got on. If this fails I may have another biopsy as there may then be more options.

Topotecan & hair loss
However, the nurses at the unit have said it’s not necessary for
Topotecan
. Has anyone any experience of this and indeed any other pearls of wisdom relating to this regime? Jane

Is it the end?
Oncologist commented Taxol weekly, then
Topotecan
and last option hormonal therapy. He thinks maybe the defenses of my mother were not resist Taxol or
Topotecan
, and hormonal therapy said that normally doesnt work... After that he thinks there are not more options...

Topotecan
They are now trying
topotecan
. I am having it every week for 3 weeks then a week off. I am having blood work every week. Went for chemo yesterday and my platelets were too low for me to have it, as this was only my second one I was ultra frustrated. Has anyone else done
topotecan
?

Has anyone seen my big girl's knickers?
Don't know anything much about Hycamtim - think it's called
Topotecan
too - as I don't want to google too much. So, any anecdotal advice will be welcomed. My mind is telling me that the best options have eluded me now and I'm on the slippery slope to the end.

2nd recurrence
I'm starting a new chemo today called
Topotecan
as I'm now deemed platinum resistant and while I'm grateful that there are still treatment options for me, I am feeling very daunted........... Juliet
