What Is The Best Medicine For Ovarian Cancer?
I have been treated since 8/2013 for ovarian cancer, at Duke,NC. Debulking,four chemos,that either did not work or my body was resistant to it,although my Ca-125 levels went down to 5 with the carbo platin. After 3 months it shot back up to over 10000. I am presently on Gemzar,and now they are calling my cancer Peritinium. I would like a second opinion, and have no clue as to what hospital or oncologist would be the BEST for this cancer. Please advise, God Bless and Thank you!

Hello dear. I have gone through your case. It seems you are having platinum resistant ovarian cancer. So you need to be treated with different lines of drugs including liposomal doxorubicin either alone or inc ombination. Talk to your oncologist regarding this the prognosis will depend upon how your tumor respond to these drugs. A secondary cytoreductive surgery may also be done if you show good response. Hope that makes you clear. regards
