Does Isolated lymph node recurrence for OVCA have better chance of remission

Does Isolated lymph node recurrence for OVCA have better chance of remission

My mother was diagonised with ccc(clear cell carcinoma) of Ovary in 2006 March. 6 cycles of taxol and cisplatin were given followd by total Hysterectomy(CA 125-47) . in 2007 Dec it relapsed with (CA 125-62.5) in shape of a small omentum cake and that was also removed by omentrctomy (Full) followed by 4 cycles of liposomal doxrubicin + Cyclophosphamide. (Ca 125 became 20)

Now In sept another recurrence was detected in one of her Lymph node in her coeliac lymph node position (2.5x3.5cm) with CA 125 -128 . Doctors asked her to wait for 3/4 months and now in this 4 months the Lymph node has become little bigger with size (4cmx2cm) with two other small nodes in same region (2cm x 2.5cm). But CA 125 is 536.

Could you please help me about the progress of disease and chances of remission on Chemo and surgery? From Net I came to know that Isolated lymph node recurrence has very good chance of remission under intensive therapy.
Please help.
