Hi, I finished Avastin around April last year and I have found that tiredness has gradually reduced and my energy levels increased since stopping it. Hope you have a similar experience.

Ive just read your story an d though I have been through exactly the same am recovering quite well, do not seem to have your hot sweat symtoms but wanted to send you love and strength as this journey is not easy. Have you reduced the dosage of olaparib and are you taking vitamin D and C? Also is your B12 level good. This may cause excess tiredness.

Im doing gentle yoga every morning this may help you? Good luck from Blackcat29

Hi. I felt the same as you on Olaparib and I did not have Avastin with it. I ended up on 300 mg a day but I still had fatigue and bad hot flashes. It was worth it though. The Olaparib got rid of the cancer I had remaining after chemo and I’m still ned a year after finishing it. Ask about a dose reduction.

[Leo2327 in reply to delia2]

Thank you for your reply I am taking 600mg a day and on avastin last one on Fri I get so down cause I have no energy I will ask when I go and see my consultant thank you take care

I was also thinking, some antidepressants can give mood improvement and energy.

Stay brave really feel for you good luck xx

[Leniko]

ask if you can be on a low dose of steroids. They helped me get through fatigue.

[Leo2327 in reply to Leniko]

Yes I will ask my consultant thank you for the reply xx
