Clear Cell Progression
My taxol/carboplatin &
Avastin
chemotherapy treatment was discontinued after 3 infusions, as CT scan showed progression of tumors, and invasion into my liver. The doctors at UCSF have not much to offer as no targetable gene mutations were identified.

Carbo/caelyx 2nd line
Hi all, I am about to start my 2nd line of chemo, carbo/caelyx, having done carbo/taxol/
avastin
first time round. I was hoping to just get to immunotherapy tbh but it looks like you need to do at least 2 series of chemo first to be eligible... so, anyone else had a similar treatment plan?

Scan shows spreading despite chemo but surgery going ahead..confused 🤔
I have just had my 3rd round of chemo (carbo & Taxol) but my
Avastin
was stopped this round in preparation for surgery. These results are mixed & now I feel more uncertain about things. Anyone experienced anything similar along the way?

Update
I had 6 rounds of carbo/taxol/
avastin
. Interval and delayed debulking not done as deemed too risky. I did however have a partial response, CA125 reducing from 12000 to 4000. (So high) Mesenteric disease was the main problem as it was too close to the bowel.

GemCarbo and picc line advice please!
I've also asked for a picc line this time - I couldn't have one last time as I was also having
avastin
so don't know what to expect at all! Any advice gratefully received 🙏 Xx

Wet AMD and Dry AMD
I was just diagnosed 3 weeks ago and got my first shot of
Avastin
. Seems to have helped a little bit. Second shot coming up in 10 days. Second question. I have had dry eyes for the past couple of years but ever since I got the shot my eyes are even more dry than usual.

AMD in one eye
He sent me to a specialist who confirmed it and gave me a shot of
avastin
in my eye. That was two weeks ago. The wavy lines have calmed down a bit but the blurriness is just as bad.

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus
Avastin
, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost!

Recurrence while on Avastin?
Can you recur while on the maintenance of
Avastin
? My cancer markers have continued to trek upwards lately. On
7/21/23
my CA125 went from
30 to 37.
And my recent CA125 on
8/11/23
went to
43
. All while I was on
Avastin
Treatment!

Ascites coming back,primary peritoneal
She was given
Avastin
as maintenance. About 9 months post treatment the CA markers started to rise and the cancer became active again, she was in good health generally and finished her 6 sessions with the same chemo in January this year.

Hair, brows and eyelashes!
But in mid Feb I had to start Lynparza and
Avastin
(Bev). About two weeks ago I noticed my lashes are falling out waaaay faster than they should normally even though I’m using a topical (Grand Lash) that is supposed to help them grow. This is so discouraging.

Recurrence :(
I then went on to Olaparib, initially with
avastin
, and have done about 1 year 10 months of that, but my last 2 blood tests showed my CA125 was rising and a scan showed that I have a recurrence in my stomach lining and (I think) something in my liver.

parp for hrd positive?
To recap - my mom was diagnosed in 2018 - debunking, chemo - second lot of chemo in 2021 and
avastin
up until 2022 - now she just had a successful surgery and having her third lot of chemo. I really want her to get a parp the doctor said she doest’t qualify.

Any body else like me?
Surgery and the usual chemo followed and then
avastin
for maintenance. In October ‘22 my ca125 rose gradually and a scan showed 3 lymph nodes that my oncologist didn’t think were anything to worry about, however the subsequent MDT felt it was a recurrence.

Caelyx side effects and duration of treatment plus follow up with target therapy or immunotherapy.
I would like to go again to olaparib /
avastin
because clearly slows down the progression of disease.
