Difficult to predict: It is difficult to predict the outcome of an individual patient. Newer therapies are emerging and there is hope for controlling the lesions.

Prognosis: You should have had a primary debulking surgery before chemotherapy by a gyn oncologist. At this point, with what is known as platinum resistant disease you should be offered a research protocol for care. This is a very unfortunate situation.
