Ovarian cancer - not responding to chemo

When my cancer became platinum resistant, I was given another drug called Caelyx, which is a form of doxorubicin. You could ask whether that is an option.
I have also just been given topotecan, which the cancer has responded to.
I was diagnosed with high grade serous ovarian cancer, stage 3c in August 2010. Initially my cancer responded to taxol and carboplatin. I also had a radical hysterectomy, so surgery was an option. My cancer was in both ovaries, the peritoneal cavity and multiple lymph nodes.
Everyone is different. My oncologist has always been positive, and told me there’s always options.
All the best for Friday.
