Avastin advice
I am now back on
Avastin
as a maintenance treatment and the side effects have hit again. Are there other gals out there that are on this maintenance treatment How do you handle it, what side effects do you have, how long have you been on it? I appreciate any advice that can be given to me.

10 years of MBC- tumor markers creeping up.
Avastin
, Femara, Pamamidrate. After nearly dying, my oncologist just left me on Femara. Now my markers have been slowly increasing, the biggest this last test, every 4 months. They jumped 20 points. Now at 102. He has said my next line of treatment would be Faslodex and Ibrance.

Severe abdominal cramps from gas?
Our oncologist doesn't think
Avastin
would cause these issues, but I have read that some patients have stomach issues with
Avastin
. Thanks in advance! Stephanie

Cabo / doxil / avastin
Tomorrow I am taking my mom for her first infusion of carbo/doxil/
avastin
. My sister typically would take her during her first chemo rounds and I would do after care. Should I be prepared with anything?

Chemotherapy
I guess I am checking in to see how others have managed with the Doxil/
Avastin
treatment, as this will be a new one for me . I pray we ALL kick this disease a good one and have a good and long life.

Vegan diet with ileostomy for low methionine
I’m currently on 3 weekly
Avastin
but my Ca125 is increasing . There is evidence that methionine ( an amino acid in protein ) ‘ feeds the cancer’ . A low methionine should starve the cancer but involves no meat, fish , dairy and other proteins. However, Soya protein contains no methionine .

Watch and wait vs treatment
My mom went to see her oncologist and they offered her surgery, doxil/carbo and
avastin
. They said since she responded well the first time - they think she will respond well again. The reoccurrence is two small nodules one on her stomach lining and one in her pelvis both less then 1”.

Can you survive a reoccurance?
Two small spots- They offered surgery, the doxil/cabo +
avastin
. has anyone had this combination for a reoccurance? What is the prognosis between the next reoccurance? I hate this disease, truly is just awful. She never drank, smoked, ate anything other than organic. Truly is horrible.

Update on previous post.
Taken all by surprise and whether it was the
Avastin
that had been holding it back which was stopped in March they don't know. So we are where we are, unfortunately and I have to have chemo to stop it, reduce it etc Which is, Carbo/Caelyx to start every 4 weeks asap.

How long do side effects linger?
After Carbo and Taxol, I did a year of 'maintenance'
Avastin
. I finished that in Feb 2021. I still have lots of pain (joints, muscles, etc) and still feel as tho I have chemo brain. Am I just crazy, or does it take a long time for the body to heal from all of these drugs?

More HRD questions
Given the recent research outcome I’d like to get an HRD test done pronto so if I am HRD + I would have the option to pay for the oliparab/
Avastin
maintenance.

Doxil and Hair Loss
Hello ladies - my oncologist will be placing me on Doxil with
Avastin
. I was searching previous posts on Doxil side effects but didn’t see anything on hair loss. For those who were on Doxil, did you lose your hair? Thank you.
