My lovely mum aged 87 was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in April 2008. Following chemo (Carboplatin) and then surgery she has had a good 6 months. The surgeon left a few 'bits' behind which have now started to grow. She is being offered weekly taxol. I wondered if anyone has had this treatment and how many side effects you suffered. Mum is incredibly active, independant and fit and well at the moment but she does have very bad arthritis in her hands and other parts of her body. I have huge concerns that this treatment is right for her. Unfortunately she does not have much choice.
