Is this your first-line treatment... and your very first infusion of Taxol? Did you also get Carboplatin? Any radiation coming? I did the CROSS protocol over 5 years ago. Worked fine... got me to surgery... then I did a year of adjuvant immunotherapy.

EC Zoom call in 30 minutes, if you'd like to pop on. Special guest today on our call... a famous cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr Shanda Blackmon (she used to be at Mayo Rochester).

Be well.

I had a complete hysterectomy first but was stage IIIC1 not early stages as hoped.
So yes first infusion, followed by carboplatin.
Tumor board recommended referral to EBRT. My gyn oncologist said chemo only. The med oncologist said radiation to follow. I will follow my gyn oncologists advice.
