When will food taste good again after chemo and radiation?
Cancer: Managing Symptoms | Last Active: 19 hours ago | Replies (49)Comment receiving replies
I received Paclitaxel ( brand name Taxol), Carboplatin, and Mvasi, 6 cycles - I developed neuropathy in fingers and toes, still ongoing, no change - not pleasant,
my diagnosis: high grade serous carcinoma of ovary
Stage: IIIB, according to my oncology nurse many of her patients are diagnosed at this stage
with no previous symptoms
do you have a port for your infusions?

Sorry for the delay, it was duffucult getting back to place in the Can wr Connect where I could see your response snd question.
As to a port-No, though that might be done at some point. I will be getting my 3rd of 6 cycles of chemo on this coming Tuesday. I’m reading now about using cold mittens and booties to hopefully downplay neuropathy-which I already had prior to chemo in one leg and foot-now it’s advancing in other foot. I chose Taxitere rather than Taxol because my oncologist said it had less neuropathy side effects. I’m also looking for a medical center that has a specialty in treating in my type of cancer-primary peritoneal carcinoma.
