Stage 1 MBC E+P+Her2-
Radiation to shoulder and one round of
taxol
. Switched doctors and started Ibrance and letrozole. Scans every 3 months and so far everything remains stable. I am feeling encouraged by reading everyone's amazing stories. I have a strong faith in God and know that He is always in control!

Cold Cap Treatment
I am on Carbo/
Taxol
. I am interested in knowing if anyone else out there used this? Would you be willing to share your experience? I have only heard positive things about it and my husband was a trooper throughout the whole process. Happy Holidays!

Triple Negative survival!!!!
I have had a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of Adiamycin, and 4 rounds of Cytoxan/
Taxol
, double mastectomy, and 33 rounds of radiation. They found out before I started chemo that my cancer was metastatic in three of my lymph nodes, but they were not under my arms.

Hope for Today - grateful for SHARE
I am currently being treated with chemo
Taxol
and am responding well. However, I am close to triple negative as my estrogen receptor is only around 5%. I had taken tamoxifen and arimodex in the past as my estrogen was high.

Metastatic and moving forward
I had expanders placed during surgery, went through 4 rounds of A/C and 4 of
Taxol
, followed by 5 years of Tamoxifen. In 2009 (13 years later) I was having some pain in my hip and was subsequently diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic disease to my bones (numerous places, but pain in hip and back).

Unhappy with my last oncologist appointment
Hi ladies I have just finished 24 weekly chemo (carbo
taxol
) and had debulking surgery in the summer. At my last oncologist visit I said "What now?" She said "I'll see you every three months" I asked her if at that time would I have a CA125 and a scan done. She said "No".

first chemo problems
I had carboplatin and
taxol
and spent the whole weekend being sick. I spent yesterday in hospital on a saline drip while they tried different anti emetics. I'm really concerned because I am on weekly
taxol
so I reacted that badly to half a dose. Is it likely to get worse as I have more treatments?

Secondline treatment with Avastin/Doxil
I had a complete hysterectomy followed 4 weeks later by chemotherapy with Carbo/
Taxol
for 6 rounds. I completed my last treatment on November 1, 2016. During that time I struggled with ascities, having 3 paracentesis between treatments 2-4. My CA125 was always up and down.

Decision - your views please
Now weekly
taxol
seems to be the last option and I will probably start that next week. They talked about giving me longer but I'm keen to get on with it and see whether it works and how bad the side effects are.

Platinum resistant anyone??
I did incredible on the
taxol
and Cisplatin. Cleaned me up good. Therefore not sure if these new cells are resistant to the
taxol
or Cisplatin. Changing up and starting a new chemo. CANCER is a chronic disease and will be treated as such.

Advice on how to manage narrowing of the bowel?
She is just about to commence 3 cycles of
taxol
and carboplatin, then major surgery to remove the mass and repair her bowel with a (hopefully temporary) stoma, before further cycles of chemo. As many of you know, the pain is horrendous but the narrowing of the bowel is causing awful trouble.

Weekly Taxol
Hi Am in hospital at the moment having fluid drained from abdomen and going to start a trial of weekly
taxol
and a tablet. Wondered how everyone found weekly
Taxol
and did you get a good remission. Morag

Hairy fuzz
Hi Ladies, since they stopped the
taxol
my hair has started to grow back but it looks a little fuzzy with hair in between. Do you shave off the fuzz or leave it. Thanks ladies, Damelza

Chemo Advice Please
Last time I had
Taxol
and Carboplatin but I had a terrible time. So the Oncologist has decided to just give me the Carboplatin. My worry is it's only for an hour every 3 weeks.... will this be enough? When I had
Taxol
and Carboplatin it was 7 plus hours every 3 weeks.

Treating OC as a "Chronic Disease" How to Cope..
I already did 6 cycles of
taxol
and Cisplatin. Now I'll be starting Doxil and then next month Doxil/Avastin. My team told me this is a chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, etc.... I'm so scared. Can I be NED after treatment or will I live with hopes of "controlling" this disease???
