Help/Advice please on choice of treatment
Had four treatments of carbo/
taxol
for primary peritoneal cancer. Op on 24 October to debulk. Removal of omentum and ovaries. CT scan hadn't shown full extent of cancer so removal of more not possible.

35 yr old with spread to omentum-scared
Im due to start 3 cycles of
taxol
/carboplatin on the 2nd Dec then I will have a ct scan to assess, they will then either do surgery or 3 more lots of chemo. My CA125 is at 91 and she said that she'd have expected to see it in the thousands.

Hernia or recurrence?
Had complete debaulking and 6 cycle carbo/
taxol
last year, could the treatment have weaken my diaphragm/stomach? Have routine CT scan tmo with bloods and three month check up to follow that in two weeks. All will be revealed then no doubt, but the waiting is probably the worst part.

Aches and pains cropping up all over the place after finishing third chemo x 6 in July
Over a 5 year period I had two lots of 6 x carboplatin/
taxol
which were effective both times, although I was left with neuropathy in my feet.

Hi my mum had her 6th taxol/carbo chemo on 20th december.
she is 78 and has recently been suffering with fainting and generally feeling unsteady. at the last chemo they said she was anaemic and should consider a blood transfusion.. has anyone had these problems and has anyone got any advice? she has done so well but feels like she is never going to recover.

Holiday advice needed
My last chemo of six carbo/
taxol
will be on 13 February. Would it be feasible to go on holiday on 10 March or would it be too soon after the last chemo and should I just cancel the holiday. I've only paid a deposit so far so would only lose that.

SOME REALLY UNEXPECTED GOOD NEWS.......
The Caelyx was 3 line treatment, having previously had 2 courses of carbo/
taxol
with six months remission each time. I was expecting, at best, that the CT results would show 'partial response' which is what happened last time and means that the tumours have reduced by 30% or more.

Can I please hear from grade 3 survivors? I was Grade 2 at initial diagnosis but restaged to grade 3
I have had 3 cycles of Carbo/
Taxol
and 1 of Carbo alone prior to operation and then 2 final courses of Carbo after operation to hopefully blitz the remaining cells. (I had my ovaries removed prior to this due to multiple cysts which turned out to be ovarian cancer.)

Can anyone help with eating tips post de-bulking?
My Mum hasn't been eating much over the last few months due to a combination of cancer and 4 chemo cycles (carbo-
taxol
) so finding things she likes has been a challenge. All suggestions greatly welcomed.
