My mother is 72. She has been suffering from ovarian cancer (metasistic). She has been operated and peritoneal cavity has been cut off. She has given paxcitacil and carboplatin 3 circle. Then she has administered paxcitacil, carboplatin and bavicuzumac .the circle completed last november 2018. Then her ca 125 came down below 10. In february 2019 her ca125 is examined again and it is shown more than 50. An usg is done and it shows small retroperitoneal nodes in paraaortic and aorta- caval sections. Please let me know if she is treated in right way.

If possible try to consider resection of the retro peritoneal nodes and aortic caval nodes please let me know the day 1 ca 125 level if the resected nodes shows the disease then consider chemotherapy for the same as the disease has come back in six months it is a platinum resistant disease in such case lipodox or gemcitabine must be considered as the therapy of choice based on the performance status of the patient.
