Relapse in Feb2016 with only liver lesions.6 cycles of chemo with the same medicine completd in june end. CA 125 normal but pet scan showed 2 small lesions persists. On close followup.In oct2016 CA125 again raised and petscan shows new lesions and increased activity on existing lesions. Doctor has advised 6 cycles of chemo with lipodox. A second opinion has advised oral chemo for now. what is the better option?

I would try the website team inspire ovarian cancer. I am the only one on this site. You will get a lot more experience there. When you post check off members only. I am compressor over there.

I have no experience with Lipodox. That is a hard one between two different opinions.
