What are treatment options for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer?

I have recurrent OC. I was able to have taxol and carboplatin several times before the cancer became platinum resistant.
Since then I have had Caelyx, which is PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin. It has been effective so far. I have had it for the third time since August last year.
I was first diagnosed in 2010. I have had more than my fair share of chemotherapy! Caelyx may be marketed under a different name where you live. I’m from Sydney, Australia.

@jenelleseaman oh wow I never knew cancer was like this!! One chemo then another and I just started last year was finished I thought in December coz it was my last chemotherapy after my debulking surgery was over I had 3,left so i thought I was finished with chemo but they don’t tell you this stuff but I now wonder why? ?!is it to not get our hopes down so we continue to fight it or what ? I don’t believe it’s fair to believe the whole time tour going to ring that bell and it’s over with! Because it’s not it’s still
A battle and for how long ? I don’t want to suffer either with chemo the rest of my life . So does anyone ever beat it ?? Idk 🤷♀️ it’s sad to hear this is on going for you and I pray God keeps you going stronger every single day . Wondering how that long 2010
to 2025 ? That’s a long time and do you still take medicine or chemo to stop it from returning? I took Zejula and it still returned . Thanks for in info God bless you
