Not suitable for surgery
I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo and am now on three weekly
Avastin
and daily Olaparib. I read lots of success stories but you all seem to have had debulking surgery. Is there anyone out there like me? X

Gemcitabine vs Topotecan
Either would be given together with
Avastin
on a weekly basis. My wife has been in discussions with our onc due to her High grade serous BRCA -ve recurrence having not responded to carbo/caelyx combo and also niraparib not slowing progression.

Avastin injections
I called my Retina Specialist today and he said that
Avastin
would not do that. I am not on any drugs and I can’t see any reason that this would happen. Has anyone else had a similar situation?

What's next?
The
Avastin
and cytoxan doesn't seem to be working. I go for another cat scan next week to see what's going on. My CA 125 keeps rising and I'm starting to feel bloated and achy. I don't know what's next. It's always a wait and see. Cher 96 (joan)

Bladder pain
I had bladder pain and frequency and went to a specialist as my GP did not want to prescribe more antibiotics and the labtest showed no infection. (I had had some a month or so before). In less than 10 minutes the specialist decided I had a persistent infection but also thought an alternative to antibiotics

Night sweats
Good morning. Hope all well. Off Phenergan tabs 5 night now. Sleep 3 hrs then awake for 3 hrs then 1 more hr. I wake dripping in sweat after first sleep. Didn't have this when on Phenergan. I had it previously but been on Ovestin ( hrt for nearly 2 years). That really helped but I don't know what started

CA-125 test
I started my maintenance of
Avastin
1/28/22, & received a CA-125 test that came back as 13. The CA-125 test is giving me high anxiety, to say the least! Because I'm worried that my CA-125 test keeps ticking up, & it's worrying me.

Cytoxan and Avastin
Hello and Happy New year to all I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies have been given oral cytoxan pills 50mg. daily in conjunction with
Avastin
as a maintenance after Carbo/Taxol for high grade serous ovarian cancer. I stopped chemo in September and have only been taking
Avastin
.

On to my next treatment plan...
But she wants me to start a maintenance of
Avastin
for 2 years. Has anyone else done this treatment plan, if so please tell me your experience. I am not happy with the prospect of high blood pressure tho.

Olaparib/Avastin for more than two years?
Hello everyone, I was all ready to wrap up my
Avastin
/olaparib treatment now that the two year mark is almost here. Everything I read everywhere says, Yep, two years of this maintenance after chemo and you're done.

Chemo side effects tips
I'm currently on carboplatin and
Avastin
. Just had my third round this Monday. Due to temperature spikes at home on Thursday, I was then assessed in hospital. I didn't want to cause a fuss and thought I should just ride it through. Told not to do that.

What Next?
I have had Carbo/Taxol with
Avastin
, Carbo/Caelyx, Rucaparib and am now ready for the next goody bag. Single Taxol has been suggested, but I have heard that this is not very successful. Does anyone know differently? I believe I could also have single line Carbo or Caelyx. Any thoughts on that?
