Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
Was asked in December to choose between weekly Taxol and weekly
Topotecan
, so guess that’s what I’ll have, but apparently it comes with a lot of nausea... Also, forgot to ask: do some of you experiment immediate memory loss under Taxol? Keep forgetting everything, it's a pain...

Start of my 10th year and halfway through treatment
I'm currently on carbo/
topotecan
and got my scan results this week. Good news is that the tumours (near the spleen) have reduced by 50%, fluid all gone and CA125, tho it's still over 1000, hopefully will continue to drop. I'm BRCA1 and olaparib has been discussed but only for future maintenance.

Chemotherapy With Topotecan May Result in Autism
Topotecan
is found as one drug to induce the Autistic gene expression. So, the cancer patients under chemotherapy and the chemo-therapists need to be aware of this.

IN CASE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO ANYONE.
Topotecan
and liposomal doxorubicin have FDA approval as single agents for ovarian cancer patients with recurrence.

When Will there be Good News?
CT scan this week shows that
Topotecan
, my 3rd line chemo has checked the disease. My good news! I will be continuing the treatment and the next scan in December. Christmas & New Year are looking good, and I will enjoy the autumn sunshine and cosy evenings with a fire before then.

Run out of chemo options. Clinical Trials now
I did also have a short course on
Topotecan
but that did nothing for me so it was quickly ditched. Anyway after being told the final news last night I am now facing up to the fact that this terrible cancer has beaten me!

Cyclophosphamide
Moved onto
Topotecan
and expecting result of interim scan this week or next. I am considering a trial which includes cyclophosphamide as the control arm and would welcome any info anyone may have had this therapy.

Topotecan update
Just a short post to let you know I have completed my first round of
Topotecan
(3 doses) with a drop in CA 125 from 57 to 47. I know that a 10 point drop may not seem like much, but for me it is. The side effects have not been very bad either.
