Surgery if now Platinum resistant?
I had Paclitaxel/Carbo for first-line, with
Avastin
. (14 month remission) I had Carbo/ Caelyx for second-line (had clear CT scan), followed by Olaprib (not successful). I'm currently looking at options. Best wishes to you all Lisa

Need advice re: Stomach pains and Acid Reflux after eating?
I had chemotherapy and de-bulking surgery 18 months ago and then took
Avastin
(Bevacizumab) for 1 year maintenance afterwards and my CA125 levels came down to normal for 1 year.

Olaparib dose reduction
I've been on Olaparib and
Avastin
for 2 weeks following frontline chemo for OC and already I've been told to stop because my white blood cells are way too low. I was on 600mg Olaparib and the nurse said to have a break and then if bloods improve to start again on a lower dose.

Well, I’ve had one year now with chemo and I’m on maintenance of
Avastin
and Olaparib. Should I have insisted on surgery? Does anyone without surgery survive for any length of time? I would be very grateful to hear from you lovely ladies. X

Olaparib and Avastin
Hi All, I wondered if anyone is taking Oliparib, 600mg a day and also having 3 weekly infusions of
Avastin
? I started on the
Avastin
on the 2nd cycle of 6 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxol. Having finished that regime I have now started on the maintenance treatment.

What else is available?
I have done Carbo/Taxol,
Avastin
, Carbo/Caelyx, Rubrac a and now Anastrazole. I have a scan coming up, but lately can feel the cancer spreading and am resorting to pain killers.

Glioblastoma Recurrence
One of the options for treatment we have been asked to consider is Lomustine chemo in conjunction with
Avastin
.
Avastin
side effects for someone in my wife's age range look pretty horrendous.

Rising CA-125 after first cycle
She has only had her first cycle of taxol + biweekly
avastin
and her CA-125 has risen from 25 to 31.5. She had her port fitted 2 days back. Could that be causing the CA-125 to rise?

Unable to go back on the original chemo, so I’m doing Gemzar/ Carbo and
Avastin

CA125 has risen post surgery. AND Sore and weak and feet and ankles post chemo.
I had 4 rounds of carbo/taxol and
avastin
and the ca125 was beginning to go down (128). All looked good after debulking surgery but now after round 5 and 6 the ca125 was at 424 and then 404. Any ideas?

Metastatic ovarian to 2 lymph nodes
So now I'm on a chemo cocktail of
Avastin
, Carbo, and gemzar for 1 day and a week later I'm on gemzar alone with the neulasta the following day with the obi. I had 3 cycles and 1 lymph node is clear now and the other diminished by 50%.

Olaparib (Lynparza) on its own or with Avastin for maintenance?
Or if you have had
avastin
on its own do you mind letting me know how you tolerated it? I kow we are all different but it may help me to make a decision. Thank you! xx

Amlodipine Besylate 5mg. for BP
Now I'm ongoing treatment with
Avastin
. As you know
Avastin
has one side effect that is high blood pressure, which I am experiencing. I have never had high blood pressure in my entire life, but now must go on Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg for it.
