Hi.

I kept having protein in my urine whilst on avastin. I had to do three twenty four hour samples.

I had 13 out of the 18 avastins. They stopped them at number 13 because of the protein.

Xxxxx

No. They didn’t tell me. They just said that the levels were too high. They had to be strict as I was doing a trial. X

I too was on Avastin only, for a year. Had issues with high blood pressure as well as high protein levels. Went thru a number of 24 hour pee tests.I always had to do a urine test before receiving Avastin treatment. If numbers were too high,no treatment. Blood work as well,especially thru chemo. My kidney functions went down to 36%. After getting off Avastin in June,my levels have improved but still an issue with kidney function. As of end of August,I went on a trial for immunetherapy. Have had 3 treatments and will know more in Nov.when I have a cat scan. I hope this helps,just know there are a lot of us who have gone thru this and are still fighting the fight. Keep positive,I know it can be hard at times,but you can do it. Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm willing to answer them. Take care of yourself.🤗

Avastin for a year this is my first test. I guess this added to my frustration as my first gynogolist never took the proper testing

Looks like dajavoo happening again. Thank you for your kindness

I was on a Chemo holiday and this is the first time I took urine test. I feel

Very upset that this wasn't done prior. I had a gynecologist also that didn't

Take the proper test. I know it is no easy for all of us, but hoping you remain strong it helps with the battle ahead. Hugs

Hi there, I was on Avastin for over a year. It did give me high blood pressure and high protein count. Always had urine tests as well as 24 hour urine tests. Avastin helped for that time but now back on chemo,carbo/Gemzar. Better blood pressure and urine count. Just anther bump in the road.
