Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Many times, chemotherapy drugs can have resistance and so desired effects can not be achieved after chemotherapy.
Same thing is happening to your case.
Neither your tumour size nor your CA125 levels are reduced, so we need to suspect chemotherapy resistance in your case.
So change of chemotherapy is needed.
And your doctor has done right thing.
So continue with new chemotherapy drugs.
