Hi there

you should ask her doctor about trying carboplatin again
it looks like it has been over a year since she has seen platinum
other option include:
-doxil again
-topotecan
-avastin with cytoxan

has she ever been on hormone therapy such as tamoxifen?
please keep in touch
best wishes

Thank you doctor goodman.  She has never had hormone therapy
