Question on debulking

Do you ever hear of second debulking if the tumours do no respond to chemo.  I never hear about this.  All I hear is they keep trying different chemos.  But than what?

Thanks for the info on the Doxil.  Looks like we both joined back in 2006.  Stay in touch....

Hello.. I know of a few women who have had more than one operation to get rid of tumours that have grown after the debulking operation. It depends where those tumours are situated, and if they can be removed safely. I don't have any solid tumours... my ovca is like grains of rice, so the Surgeon wouldn't go in again for me, as he said there was nothing substantial to try and take, so I have to rely on chemo.
I hope you are feeling well... hugs...Helen...
