Hello sisters, i know its been a long time since i've been on line ans thats only because my bones have been kinda painful. Today i started my chemo again. This time they have me on taxol & carboplatin. 1x a week for 3 weeks and then a week off and start cycle again, until further notice. The dr is trying to clear my liver up now, she says it needs attention. I'm still doing the aredia once a month for my bones and that appears to be working out pretty good. The fight continues and god is good. Praise


Any feedback on this taxol and carbo would be appreciated.
Love you guys! I hope everyone is still here and hanging in there, i miss you all.

Love Babe

    You have NOOOO idea how much
    You have NOOOO idea how much we have missed you, sweet Babe! I don't have any info about your meds, but it goes without saying that I wish you a good result and no pain!

    Thank you so much for posting~ you are making me smile ear to ear, and frown at your pain at the very same time. Quite a vision, as I'm sure you can imagine!

    Welcome back, dear friend!
    It's great to hear from you again even if you're getting even more chemo than before - just remember the Beast doesn't stand a chance against a warrior like you!

    Best,

But, as Joe said, you are a warrior, and, you will fight and win over the beast! Please don't stay away so long from the boards.

    Hi Babe -
    I was on the taxotere/carboplaten coctail. I don't know how much alike taxol and taxotere are, but they had me on it once every three weeks for six rounds. My hair fell out, and I'd get a little nauseous, but the oncoogist gave me pills for that, plus the anti nausea dose in the port right before the chemo. I only got sick once after the last chemo, but I think that was more of a mental thing. I took my chemo on Friday mornings and was fine to return to work on the Mondays after, with no problem other than being tired.

    We are all here for you and I know someone will have an answer for you. God Bless you!!!

    Hugs - Pat

    HELLO, Babe!
    So, so good to hear from you! Yes, there was a "shout out" for you here not too long ago. You've been missed.

    Certainly, I wish you didn't have to do any of what you're doing. However, it seems like you and your doctor are putting up a darned good fight. Beating up on the beast with everything you've got. You will win, Babe. We're all pulling for ya!

    Always, heartfelt hopes and prayers your way. Stop in again, next time sooner.

    Kind regards, Susan

    Babe!
    So nice to hear from you again. As you can see, you've been dearly missed! I'm sorry for your bone pain, but glad to know you still have your optimism and fighting spirit. Hopefully the Taxol and Carboplatin will wipe out the bone lesions once and for all. I was on Taxotere, which is in the same class of drugs as Taxol. The one thing to watch out for is neuropathy in the hands and feet. If you start developing it, your doctor can try a different drug. I've heard lot of good things about Carboplatin and other platinum agents. They're coming up with new things everyday. Hang in there, Babe, and please don't be a stranger.

    So good to hear from
    Babe

    So good to hear from you, just wish it was better news. Glad you are still in fighting form and hoping that the treatment will do its thing. Some good advice from the gals that have done this same treatment. I didn't do any chemo but I am sending my support, love and prayers to you.
