Changed my mind about treatment

I'm currently recovering from surgery for an ovarian cancer recurrence. My oncologist gave me a choice regarding what to do next treatment wise.

 

She said I could either have more chemo or go onto hormone blocking tablets. I chose the hormone blocking tablets but I'm not regretting my choice. 

 

I'm going to ring her secretary on Monday to see if I can speak with her about changing to chemo instead. I think it will be more effective at 'mopping up' any stray cells the surgery didn't get. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this before? I'm hoping she will consider letting me change.
