Other ovarian cancer options

I have had 20 taxil/Carbo treatments and 1 cycle of topocetan which I don't think it's working. What other options do I have other than gemzar and doxcil which is difficult to get now?


This discussion is related to caelyx treatment CA125.

Has your doctor said that Taxotere and Cisplatin is too similar to your first combo? If not, that combo or one individually could be an option.  There's also Navelbine. I knew there was a shortage on Doxil, but does your doc have any idea how soon doses will ship? I hope you find something that works out. Bad enough to have this demon cancer and its made worse when you can't get the right drug for it. Hopefully someone else will come along with more suggestions.

Best wishes,
Gail
