Doxil maintenance?

Hello all,
I am seeking your input regarding Doxil as a maintenance chemo. Has anyone had experience with doing this? I concluded 6 months of Doxil in November and had a good response to it while going through it, but, 3 months later my CA125 has gone from 14 to 130 so, we know something is not right. I am going to have a CT scan next week, but wondered about going back on Doxil for an extended time. Thank you in advance for your input.

Doxil
I don't know the answer. I am now on Doxil for my first reoccurence. My monther in law was reading up on Doxil when I was starting. She had told me she read on somewhere a women commented she was on maintenance Doxil for an extended period of time with good success. I forget how long the time frame was but I believe it was over a year. I remember when she told me the story it gave me some hope. Of course this is second hand information so take from it what you will. As the other poster commented, I'm not sure about starting Doxil again when it was just used. Of course though, on a different post I read someone was on low dose Taxol, it stopped working now they want to put her on full dose Taxol/Carbo. Let us know how you make out and good luck!
