Subject: taxol/carbo side effects on peritoneal cancer treatments
Date: 03/18/2008
I should also add that peritoneal cancer is a relatively new diagnosis, is similar to ovarian cancer (which my mother does not have) and treated the same way but it is "terminal, 100% morbidity, not curable but treatable with good quality of life possible for even several years...perhaps". My Mother knew she was going to die. She was prepared for that, faced it with dignity, even anticipation...but this? Nobody told her anything about all this. Nausea, hair loss, fatigue...yes. But not one word about total incontinence, peripheral nerve damage, increased pain and brain damage. But it is all over the internet. Look up taxol/carbo side effects. Would my Mother have chosen this over the "mild, vague abdominal symptoms" she has been questioning for years...and eventual death? I don't know. And now I don't know if she can know. Help me! Is there anyone out there with comparable side effects who recovered enough to make it worth it? My mother doesn't have 2 to 3 years to recover from brain cell loss of 70 to 80%! Can you help me?

my mother was on these same drugs plus bevacizumab.. She has lost mer memory and the use of her legs. No one can explain why. She was in the hospital for 3 weeks having tests that showed nothing.They moved her to rehap where she can walked with a walker and help. Her memeory is bad,can't even name her children some days. She is 73 and was in great physical and mental health till the chemo treatments. No one seems to help us or know what to do or if this will ever get better
