Oncologist,  's  Response
Hi. I am very sorry for your wife. She has a progressive disease on VAC /IE chemotherapy. If she has a good performance status she needs to undergo second line chemotherapy for refractory disease.
Chemotherapy protocol options are:
1. Cyclophosphamide and topotecan
2. Irinotecan and temozolomide
3. Docetaxel and Gemcitabine
You can discuss it with your oncologist. I hope I have answered your question. I will be more than happy to answer any further question. Wishing you all the best and thankyou for choosing Healthcare Magic.
