Low dose chemotherapy

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

My mother suffering from stage 3 ovarian cancer has been put on low dose chemotherapy daily tablet form. Earlier she underwent 8 cycles of monthly chemotherapy doses. Her ca 125 came from 6800 to 77. Doctors have refused to operate as they are saying it will put patient in danger. I want to know whether daily low dose chemotherapy tablets are as effective as the strong monthly doses.
