Back in March I asked for opinions on Gemzar vs Doxil as my 2nd treatment choice after my CA 125 started upwards only 9 months after initial Tax/Carbo.

Your gyn is being cautionary with the CA125. She will probably order another CA125 in a couple of weeks and compare the numbers. You said you were there only for your annual exam.
