OVARIAN CANCER

I was dx with stage 4 ovarian cancer 2 years ago. I had the standard treatment of 6 cycles of carboplatin and taxol and was in remission for a year before the cancer returned. I am now in a clinical trial, taking an oral drug, AZD6244. I have been on this for 9 months now and am having very good results. The tumors have stopped growing. I was wondering if anyone else was on this drug and what their experience has been.

Thank you.
Holly

It's an oral chemo drug, made by Astra Zeneca. I don't know anything more about it. It's a stage 2 clinical trial.
