Some cancer treatments have advanced a lot. Some are still using the same old drugs. Mother with StageIIIc ovarian in 2019 resection, HIPEC, then chemo. Recurrence in 2020 and every 6-9mo after that with some areas appearing, others shrinking. Platinum resistant in 2022 (many many many different times combined with taxol, doxil, etc). Taxol alone not working now as she had a spread event. Doxil + Avastin is now being tried (again but without platinum). Probably out of options sooner or later even though she can physically handle more chemo. Avastin is pretty much the only advance for this cancer and it's not very good. She's been on it on and off several times with the other chemo drugs. Of course all this depends on the mutations and such. Hers aren't ones anything new if it exists works for. This is a major research hospital with distinguished specialists.
