Dear Jun

it sounds like you have had excellent care. I agree with all the treatments you have received.

The treatment options that your doctor suggests are very reasonable.
In addition it looks like you had not had carboplatin since 2009. if so, that should be considered

another option is weekly taxol at a low dose such s]=as 60 - 80 mg per m2
ask your oncologist about those approaches.

best wishes to you
