Hello Ms. Li, at present you have only completed one course of chemotherapy, CA125 drop is not very large, a week later it is time for the next course of chemotherapy. I suggest you to throw the second course of chemotherapy according to the original regimen, and then check CA125 at 3 weeks after the end, if the decrease is not satisfactory, then consider changing the radiation case. TC regimen is currently the first-line regimen for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, you should have the confidence to actively cooperate with the treatment.
