    Hello Licha

    I have no personal experience with Etopiside. Recently there was an article http://csn.cancer.org/node/270456 claiming that Etoposide combined with Cisplatin proved to be effective for recurrent ovarian cancer resistent to other drugs. I sincerely hope that it works for you and turns that CA125 around soon.

    Best wishes,

    Alexandra

    Hi Licha

    I too have no personal experience with Etopiside but am praying that it kicks your cancer's butt to the curb!
