Late/delayed effects of taxol and filgrastim (neupogen)?
Mum finished her 3rd line of treatment - weekly
Taxol
- a couple of months ago now. She had regular injections of filgrastim to keep her white cell count high, and although it worked, it gave Her terrible aches and pains.

Update on fasting mimicking diet
I am on my 4th cycle of Carbo
Taxol
today. First 2 were uncomplicated. Fasting has been much more difficult prior to the 3rd round:/ i have cheated a bit and had more watermelon on fasting days which were 600cal 4th day prior to chemo and than 300cal on remaining days including chemo day.

I'm new here - recurrence in Para Aortic Lymph Node
I then choose to stop with the IP (its pretty full on) and continue with the gold standard (
taxol
/carbo) for the remaining 3 cycles. Treatment finished Nov 2015 and CA125 was down to 9.

Wish I had put a whole lot of money on it!! Still, knew it was coming. Hey ho and here we go - again.
No
taxol
etc for me as it almost killed me last year and now my neuropathy has virtually all disappeared I'm not keen to be paralysed again in a hurry. Fingers crossed my hair stays as about 1% can lose it.

Devastated all over again!
Long story short had 6 rounds of carbo and
taxol
which ended in January this year, made me so much better and my Ca125 went from 6000 to 18 after treatment ended! Was told I had a few shadows remaining on my CT at the end of Jan but inactive and a very good prognosis!

Has anyone experienced Hair Loss with Zejula?
Have already been thru
Taxol
/Carbo after surgery the 1st time, then Gemzar/Carbo after surgery the 2nd time followed with Avastin till my kidneys couldn't take that anymore. So I have already been down that road of wigs & hats, hoping not to go there again.

Husband trying to be supportive
Suzanne was diagnosed stage 3 in March 2013 and has had two recurrences, so three goes at the dreaded
taxol
/carboplatin cocktail. But hey it has worked! Last time round they had to go light on the carboplatin as Suzanne developed an allergic reaction.

Oncology Appointment
Normal oncologist stated that when chemo is started again - it will be
Taxol
and Carbo - as she had such a wonderful response to it first line. I am a bit confused as I though a different drug would be used - definitely a discussion to have with the other oncology team.

Remission (YAY!) and post chemo immune boosters
Taxol
did a number on my joints - mostly knees - and I'm slowly getting out of pain. I can walk a mile now, slowly, but I get there. My goal is to get in the best physical shape I can.

Carboplatin Hypersensitivity
She had her first round of chemo last year- 6 treatments of carboplatin/
taxol
- after a complete hysterectomy. She was in remission for a bit and then it came back in February. Her doctor ordered another round of 6 treatments.

Recurrence happening
I had a nine-hour surgery and six rounds of carbo/
taxol
at the Marsden which finished 12/04/17. I was clear for twelve months. I have now had rising CA125, doubling between January and May. My scan in April didn’t show anything except a possible 4mm nodule that “might be something, or not”.
