new member question about oral chemo?

good response
It appears that you must have had good responses from your previous chemo. Thee are plenty of clinical trials out there. Did you do a clinical trial search? do you know what oral chemo your oncologist is thinking of? Maybe since your ca125 is relatively low and I am guessing you are symptom free your doctor is looking for something mild to knock it back a bit. Maybe save the 'big guns' for a more serious condition?

oral chemo
Welcome to the group! I am new, too and am amazed how many people are going thru the same thing I am, and how supportive they are! I have recently started my 5th line of chemo- the oral drug cytoxan along with the infused drug avastin. The cytoxan is the oral. My first round with these drugs had 100 percent success. My remission was short-lived, which is typical for me. The DR has chosen this again because of the good results last time and the minimal side effects(a little nausea if I don't eat, mild fatigue later in day) Good Luck to you. Let us know the drug you go on. It may help someone else.
