Rash on arms and legs
Hello, I had my first chemo of taxel and carboplatin last week Wednesday on the 12th. I did not have any severe side effects, but on the next week on Monday evening I started to get an itch on my elbows and inner knees. Tuesday I called the doctor and he prescribed OTC Hydrocortizone cream and benedril. He said that this…

Hair Loss
This is the third week after my first chemo, and now I am losing hair in handfuls. Can anyone give me suggestions? Do I cut it short and begin wearing a hat/ scarf now? I knew this was to happen, but not sure how to handle it? Thank you, Chris

New conversation on Gemzar and Cisplatin

CA 125 falling
So Mom had her fifth round ofchemo on Monday and her CA 125 was 3,659. I know for a lot of you this would be alarming but for us it is great. Mom started out at 14,301. I am hoping someday she will move into the hundreds and out of the thousands. Her new anti nausea pills also seem to be working although thye are making…

Most significant issue was that cancer cells may originate in fallopian tubes and then attach to ovary. Also explains how ovca can spread thruout abdomen so insidiously. Research was done @ U of…

Fluid around lungs
When my mom was diagnosed with OC, it was found because of fluid building up around her lungs. She had chest tubes put in and has had to have them drained every day, then every two days, now every three days. Fluid slowed down a little but not very significant. Doctor told us that after the first infusion of chemo she…

Mom had her first treatment
She got Taxol/Carbo on Thursday. We spent 2 1/2 hours in the emergency room today because her ascites has gotten so bad that she could not breath. They drained about 5000 ml out of her today. She's at least breathing better. Am so very worried about her. She's 78, with diabetes and is in Renal Failure. She breezed through…

Three down....one to go
Surgeries, that is. Got the new port placed this AM. I woke up before he had completely finsihed up the procedure! He said, "Well....I guess you can skip recovery." I'm good until after the first of the year (I hope). Carlene

I need reassurance
I had my last chemo on 9/16. My oncologist cancelled what would have been the last one on 9/22 because I couldn't tolerate any more. I had ended up in the hospital twice during the chemo. I have appointments scheduled for 11/02 and 11/03 with the oncologist and the oncologist surgeon. I have not even found out what my…

clinical trial
Well, I found out today that I will be starting a clinical trial. It is a phase II trial of an oral medication called ENMD-2076. The drug works in a similar way as Avastin does, by cutting off the blood supply to the tumor. My latest CT scan on 9/30 showed stability with possible slight advancement. No obvious advancement…

Second surgery anyone?
Hi ladies, Mom had her initial surgery Sept 3rd and it was unsuccessful due to the location of the tumor. It was pretty well contained but it was too close to the blood supply to tell where the tumor started and the blood line ended. Today Mom had her fifth round of chemo. After four rounds her CA-125 number is 4,056 which…

Need answers for my sister
Hi ladies, I'm not part of this group I actually have IDC stage IV and post on those sites. However my older sister just had a hysterectomy and was told that she is pre-cancerous. I always thought that you have cancer or you don't. Right now her surgeon is recommending the "We'll check you again in 5 years approach." That…

ice during Doxil
Hi Ladies, I am in a panic about my upcoming carbo-doxil combo. I was told that I did not need ice packs, yet I see many patients do use them. Any info.? I also saw that Doxil may give you incorrect high CA125 numbers? GREAT! I also read the side effects are worse when they add another chemo. GREAT, again! I'm sure looking…

I'm ready to make a donation to....
24 hour monitoring of CSN. 'Seems they are gone for the week-end. How can all these posts continue to remain? I am SO angry. Some of the ones she pulled are some who are no longer with us. It pulls at my heartstrings to see their names.... Are we going to have to see this until Monday??? CSN, get it together! Thanks, Froggy

I see Doris has been doing her dirty work again overnight.I hope they remove this nasty piece of work quickly.

Just sayin', Doris....
I would pay 100 times the going rate for drugs before I would buy them from someone who solicits on a Cancer network site. I'm guessing most of the people on CSN feel the same, so I doubt you will be getting much business from anyone here. I only hope you get to read your PMs before the admins kill your CSN account. You…

First of all I just want to say a very BIG thank-you to all of my "teal ladies" (that's what I call you when I tell my friends at home about the marvelous support I get from these boards) You don't know how your responses has helped me these last few days. You are all such kind and caring people and I so wish I lived in…

CA125 rising slowly....
Well, I guess I knew it. I always try to be positive but....that little bit of fear comes sneaking in. Had my doctor office visit today and the CA125 was up a little more. Now it is out of the normal range. Last month it had risen 4 points.. now it has risen 3 more points. I am at 37.4. I have been on the Metformin for a…
