What chemo have you already had? Since it's been two years, you might be able to go back on Taxol/Carboplatin. There's also the standard second line treatments out there - Doxil, Topotecan, Gemzar, Navelbine, Taxotere, or any combination of them. You still have many treatment options out there, and you never know which of them might be the one for you. Best wishes to you as you begin this journey again.
