Will be taking weekly
taxol
and Avastin. I’m told it’s pretty tolerable, which I’m all about. Any advise for what I can expect to feel with respect to side effects?

Online support for mum
Following 4 rounds of
taxol
and carboplatin she was operated on in January 2020. During the laparotomy the surgeon was unable to remove any of the mass because it had spread to part of her bowel and also blood vessels to her liver.

Stage 4B OC, 1st recurrence. Looking for kind guidance.
I have just been diagnosed with a recurrence after 18 treatments of Carbo and
Taxol
and debulking surgery. Diagnosed originally in June 2019 with OC stage 4B. I am told because my recurrence happened in 6 months, I “may be” platin resistant.

Laura Update - No More Chemo - On to Letrozole
All the Chemo drugs I wanted, Gemcitabine or Caelyx are excreted through the liver, so, as I have had no success with Carboplatin or
Taxol
, there was no Chemo for me. Naturally, I was devastated. Instead, I am now in Hormone Therapy, as my cancer tested positive for Oestrogen.

My mums really poorly 😢
My mum was waiting to start caelyx for a 2nd recurrence after only finishing carbo and
taxol
at the end of march. She started getting ascites again and when she saw her consultant 3 weeks ago he asked for an urgent drain and ct.

Skin metastasis? UPDATE
So, GP and CT scan confirm that the skin nodule at laparoscopy port site is metastasis and with other ‘small changes’ my oncologist has given me the option of weekly
taxol
starting next week. As I only finished second line Carbo/ Caelyx in March I am now deemed platinum resistant.

Clinical Trials
My oncologist was not excited about this because I already have neuropathy from
taxol
, and abraxane would most likely make it worse. I had been encouraged to find a clinical trial, so I was to 3 other facilities to present my case and see what may be possible.

Gemcitabine (Gemzar) - Your experience??
So, knowing I react poorly to
Taxol
, he’s recommending gemcitabine infusions. Reading paper specifics are one thing- hearing your experiences are quite another. I’d be grateful for any who can share their experience on this chemo.

Sorry to keep moaning.
I dont remember feeling like this for so long last time on carbo/
taxol
. I promised myself I would keep on working part time as I'm working from home now. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to. Has anyone else experienced this and did it get easier. Thanks.

Sun sensitivity
Am probably about to go on
Taxol
but I like to sit outside and go on the sea. My list of side effects does not list sun sensitivity but I have read on the net that it can be a problem. Did anyone suffer from sun sensitivity with it? What form does it take?

Too long between surgery and chemo?
Ann started 6 rounds of carbo/
taxol
on 7th Feb, so over 2 months after surgery. Ann was supposed to have Avastin alongside but the oncologist decided she wasn't well enough. Whilst waiting for chemo she developed very painful build up of ascites and had 4.5 litres drained prior to stating chemo.
