    Several
    There are several and the oncologist will tell you which one will be best to try next. Most of the ladies here have had several. Taxol may the the next one. I started with a combination of carboplatin and taxol. Saundra

    Chemos
    Hi Julia, sorry to hear your mom had a reaction to carbo, it is all so frustrating at times. There are lots of different drugs that can be given and I am sure your mom's doc will get the right one or combination for her. Hugs ♥ Prayers Bonnie

    Chemos
    Hi, I started with carbo/taxol, then Doxil and Gemzar. Your oncologist will find the right cocktail to give your Mom. I will be keeping her in my prayers, Hugs, Terry

    doctor
    Julia,

    Just like the ladies have said the doctor will find the right combination that will work for your mom. It does get somewhat frustrating and discouraging, but hang in there.

    Keep us posted.

    In His Grip,
    Libby
