Flew to seattle (i live in Alaska) last weekend and talked to Dr. Saul Rivkin (my new idol) who is very aggressive in treatment of ovarian caner, his own wife died from it 10 years ago so now its his passion, he is SO up there with research and treatment, Im so glad I went.
Anywho...I have 4 or 5 different medications I can take to PREVENT a reoccurance..some have worked some have not...anyone out there on maintenance hemo...what drugs are you on and whats the worst side affect.
Anyone taking weekly taxol? Loose your hair again? I had screaming leg pains first time (although my oncologist said it wasnt from the chemo, bullshit, anyone else experience this....appreaciate any feedback your willing to give, colleen
Do you happen to know what the 4 or 5 medications are that you can take to prevent recurrence? What did Dr. Rivkin say the chances are of them working?
To answer your question about leg pains, I took one round of Taxol before I had an allergic reaction and the leg pains were unbelievable. They switched me to Taxotere and I didn't have any leg pains at all with that.
Is anyone on any maintenance therapy and if so, what do you take?
