Success Of Doxil?

Subject: Success of Doxil?
Date: 01/25/2008

I was diagnosed with stage 3 Ovarian Cancer last March. I had the usual debulking surgery with an iliostomy bag. I have gone through 6 carboplatin/taxol treatments.  My CA 125 was down to 36 in July.  Sept. was another surgery to reconnect my bowels and my CA 125 was up to 80.  December,  the CA 125 was over 500 so I was put on Doxil.  I'm heading towards my 3rd treatment with my last CA125 well over 1000.  It's my understanding that Doxil takes at least 3 sessions to make the CA 125 come down.  I'm getting pretty worn out from the chemo and need a break.  Does anyone have any statistics on the success of doxil?  I've read that after  carboplatin/taxol treatments, 75% went into remission.  I'm also researching and considering the Burzynski Clinic in Houston.  I'm thinking that chemo, in the long run, is not the way to go.  I'm also very cautious about my diet and started wheatgrass every morning, no sugar, no red meat. Veggie juices. Everything I've read points to strengthening the immune system as much as possible and eating as many various colored raw veggies.  Any thoughts or experiences with the above?
