Not sure about the first one, but TAH/BSO is an abreviated term for a hysterectomy. (Total Abdominal Hysterectomy/Bilateral Salpingo Oopherectomy) The oopherectomy is ovary removal. I hope someone can tell you what the other one means.

s might stand for second time and the pxl might mean one of two

pxl
Pyridoxal Hydrochloride

PXL
Paclitaxel

Where are you reading these from?
