Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your grand mother 's situation and problem.
Sorry to say but there is no oral chemotherapy drug available for ovarian cancer.
And her cancer is chemotherapy resistant because she is having recurrence despite of surgery and chemotherapy.
This indicates poor prognosis.
So better to start palliative treatment in the form of nutritional supplements and pain management.
She also needs psychiatric counselling for end of life issues.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your grand mother.
Thanks.
