I used it and liked it a whole lot better than Taxol. I felt a lot better plus I never lost my hair with it. I also took Fenben with it and TUDCA for liver support. No problem's what so ever. My scans are great!! I am so glad I found out about the Joe Tippens protocol. I attacked the stem cells which the chemotherapy can't do. Better to stay on it for the long haul. I also called the Care Oncology Clinic aka the C.O.C. I use their off label drugs to keep cancer from feeding. The C.O.C. have a Facebook page. I learned all this from reading Jane McLelland's book "How to Starve Cancer". She has a online course if you want to spend a hundred bucks but its so worth it!
Nicola, all of us with OC have a chronic disease. Not curable; we just have to manage it in whatever way works best - chemo or maintenance drugs or whatever. It ain’t no fun!
I’m currently on doxil and carboplatin. They used carbo instead of avastin because I had 2 years of remission with the carbo. Wednesday is #5 of 6. My liver tumor is gone, the areas in my left abdomen are slightly smaller, no new areas. My last tax is end of March with ct scan mid-April then will see how things look and what treatment plan is next. Zejula wasn’t tolerated, I’m BRCA negative, and my MD Anderson requested some tumor from my initial oncologist, for molecular, etc testing. Feeling positive- Faith over Fear….
I had Doxil and carbo for my first reoccurrence. Had a 6 month course. Had my head in the toilet some. Remission only about 7 months. Liver Mets. Now on almost a year of Avastin.
Never had doxil. Just had the same chemo that I had for my original ovarian cancer.
