I Just finished a 8 series of treatments 4 carbo/taxol and 4 carbo/taxotere. This had to treat a combination of ovarian, utherian and peritoneal cancer. A month before the end of the serie, pain appeared in the lower part of the abdomen. Following US and CT it was decided to continue with :either Doxil, Doxil/CisPlatinum or Topotecan. I'll be thankfull for experience sharing on the the different treatments: efficiency and mode of application.

    Welcome Jossi, sorry you have to be a part of this board but a really good place for support and information. I have had taxil/carbo and then topotecan for a recurrence. The hardest part of the topotecan is getting it for 5 days in a row and the terrible fatigue.

    Take Care adn God Bless
