I had taxol with carboplatin for my frontline treatment, but I developed PN with the first round so it was quickly modified and then eliminated. With HGSC, I don't know what drugs are used (I have OCCC). Did you have germline testing as well as testing of the tumor? The treatments can be targeted with that knowledge, I believe. By the way, I think your short hair is quite flattering.

I’m on my second recurrence now, with Carbo and Doxil, the third was my bad day, but it could have been worst if I hadn’t fasted for 60 hours.
And that was hard, I like to eat, but I was told the best way to do it was to fast and it effects the cancer cells harder! Well I like that idea, and I didn’t get very much nausea either.
So far so good.
I declined on the major surgery , because I didn’t think I could handle it, but mostly because they have shown that taking Chemo or the surgery doesn’t show any difference in recurrence. In fact Germany is really studying this idea and believe the Chemo does the same results without the damage the surgery does to our bodies.
