Hi. Just browsing at some of your notes and got to wondering. So how long have some of you been being treated, and how many different types of chemo have you been on? Here I am all concerned because struck out the first time after all was good but then came back in 5 months, then struck out with the second type that was with the new clinical study drug. Sounds like some have been ongoing for longer than me and more types so thought would be good to ask, both for me and others to hear about. Thanks

    Treatments
    HI

    I was dx in Aug 2006. I was put on Taxol/Carbo three treatments, then surgery, and three more treatments. went 6 mo then went on Abraxane/carb for 6 treatments. Went another 6 months free of treatment and then went on Abraxane for 6 treatments, then on Doxil, which I did not tolerate. The ONO put me on the anti-estergeon Arimidex, which I am on now. It is keeping my CA125 down. I had to have some dental work that had to be done, but I know I will have to go back on chemo. Everyone is different. This sight has helped me so much because you have these wonderful ladies to answer these questions.

    treatment type #12 and going on to 13
    I am not sure anyone really wants to hear that one, except for those of us that have never heard remission. Anyway it is almost 7yrs for me and almost non stop chemo, in the beginning I would get maybe up to 3 month break but for over 2 years now no breaks.

    I don't think I have posted an update on profile for awhile but should have a lot of the drugs listed. I well go there after I am done here and check. Hugs Bonnie
