Toptecan not working

Question

Hi Lady's 
I'm going to start a new study for ov in September, triciribine will be the drug I'm testing. This drug was used in the 80"s but they now know if you have this Akt protein it will kill the cells. If this doesnt work I have just a few months to live. What a shock!!!! I have Lot's of hope with this study. I was on topotecan but it stopped working for me. My CA 125 is up to 3460.I live in Fl and I'm having it done in Moffitt cancer center Fl. I will keep everyone up to date on how it's working. I have to have my belly drained every two weeks. It's a pain to have this done, but it won't go down on it's own if the chemo's not working.
