chemotherapy followed by maintenance avastin

After 6 cycles the doctor wants to start avastin as maintenance. I am afraid that stopping the chemo and having only avastin won't keep the CA 125 down. Has anyone received maintenance avastin having a high CA125? Did it keep the CA125 at the same level or lower?

Gemzar not working

Sadly, I couldn’t tolerate more Carbo, and the Gemzar/Avastin infusions have not helped. My CA125 is rising. Has anyone has this happen? Any suggestions? Thank you.

waterproof PICC covers

I still have a PICC line in for my regular Avastin and would like a completely waterproof cover for it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

avastin costs

hi, is anybody having avastin (bevacizamab) and paying privately for it. I responded well to it on first diagnosis 6 years ago. Unfortunately I am not eligible on the nhs . Can anybody tell me more about the costs as they seem to vary so much.

Oncologist gives me 6 months to a year more of life

Onco suggested I look into combo of Avastin + Tecentriq, which present an array of side effects as a trade off to slowing down the liver degradation. Does anyone have experience with this combination of drugs?

Has anyone been on Niraparib twice?

The alternative is Avastin infusions at a reduced dose. I was on Avastin after first line chemo but found the side effects very difficult . The third choice is to monitor closely with regular bloods and CT if necessary. I really don’t know what to do.

2nd line treatment

After a total of 8 cycles of Carboplatin and Paclotaxil with Avastin added in part way through and attempted but unsuccessful surgery (due to extensive cancer ‘seeds’ on the peritoneum) I’ve never been NED. I was commenced on Olaparib in November 2022 and the Avastin continues.

Gemzar was tough

I spent many years on Avastin since 2008 diagnosis. When I came out of remission from it. I was put on carbo/Gemzar. I had a bad reaction to the Carbo, so I had 10 treatments of Gemzar. I finally had to ask Onco to stop because I was losing my quality of life.

More decisions - Avastin, Niraparib or Letrozole

My Mum, who has done 6 rounds of chemo, 2 with Avastin, has just been told she still doesn't present as suitable for surgery. We have mixed emotions about this as she is in her early 80s, although previously very fit and healthy.

self-funded Avastin at the Christie

I am trying to gather reliable info on what it would cost to pay for a course of Avastin at the Christie. I have run a search on here and other UK forums and the broad consensus is around £20, 000 but there was another recent thread on here where £46,000 was mentioned.

Has anyone taken Avastin?

They think the Avastin treatment will reduce the brain swelling. (BTW Avastin does not work on breast cancer cells and is not the point of the treatment.) Anyone with a similar experience? Thanks so much! Kay

KoAFTER AVASTIN WHAT TO EXPECT.

I went to see another doctor to take his review and he said your previous doctor has injected avastin and i am also unable to do anything else til your next oct. and he also diagnosed the same problem, and written alter macula reflex. Which can only be treated with injections.
