Hi clever u.. Sourcing this.. I wonder if this applies to treatment after a reacurrancex

This was a very interesting article even if I didn't understand some of it. I've got 1 cycle left of carbo/taxel for stage 4 OC. I too wonder if it would apply to reacurrace. Chemo every week could be quite harrowing but if it works better I would feel I'd have to do it.

Good piece of research there.

Thank you Linda... our very own librarian this is very interesting.... have a good time in Cicily

Thanks Linda. for posting. I think in this instance it is talking about first line treatment protocols rather than for recurrence.

Thanks for this Linda. This sounds like a good regime - I've met a couple of ladies on the trial and they seem to be doing ok. Good progress is being made it seems, but too slowly!!

Where there is life there is hope ??
