Update: Bye bye, Avastin. It's been a dubious pleasure.
That said, I subsequently agreed with my oncologist to stop
Avastin
after all. Bowel damage (however minor) &
Avastin
is just a scary combination in my mind, even though I had hoped to continue with it for a while at least. So.. no more
Avastin
, which also means no more bloodpressure meds.

Cancer Returns
Yesterday I went for my usual once every 3 weeks
Avastin
treatment at the Macmillan Cancer Centre UCLH. I met with my lovely oncologist Dr Miller and was given some results, blood and latest CT scan. She sat closer than usual but it didn't register. She gave me dreadful sad news. My ca125 is 60.

Olaparib or not?
Avastin
followed and I have been treatment free since this January. My CA125 is currently 9, so all is well. My dilemma is that following genetic counseling I am BRAC1, this is a changed diagnosis as originally it was negative (!?!?). My oncologist is talking about Olaparib.

Vaginal pain, anal pain, nearly 4 years on and feeling desperate!
Hi all, am new here as am at my wits end trying to find a way forward with my ongoing issues. I was diagnosed with vaginal atrophy 4 years ago ( since found out due to a lack of oestrogen) even though I was on HRT. As I was bleeding I was taken off my HRT until they could eliminate any nasties. This

Just on Avastin now
I’ve done Chemo, and will just be on
avastin
now for 12 months- does anyone know if
avastin
affects your blood count so you can’t have it. Twice I had my chemo put back and had to have an injection for it, but don’t know if that was because of chemo or
avastin
. Thanks for any advice

Most amazing news
I’m all clear - NED, after my scan on Tuesday- I’m so relieved- I was stage 3/4 at diagnosis including a bit on my liver which was cut off in surgery with full debulking surgery in December (low grade serous ovarian) and started chemo in February, last chemo 2 weeks ago and starting just
avastin
on Monday

Perplexed abt Avastin & BP

Avastin
I found this site purely by accident when I asked if there was any link between
Avastin
and arthritis or rheumatism. I have been treated for ovarian cancer since October 2017, and follow up treatment of
Avastin
since June 2018.

Folfiri and avastin chemotherapy
Beginning of March this year she went on another regime of chemotherapy, folfiri and
avastin
, 12 sessions over a 6 month period. She has a 3 hour period at the clinic IV through a portacath in her chest then she comes home with a pump and bottle which administers chemo for a period of 48 hours.

3rd Time Lucky!
The plan is to do Gem/carbo/
Avastin
again with naparabib (spelling) if the chemo works, so at least there is a plan. I’m trying to push the devastation I feel to one side and just focus on the plan.

Elevated ca125 levels/ possible liver problems?
Since that time I had my
avastin
infusion and apparently my ca125 levels jumped almost 90 points in less than three weeks time. (In the past five treatments they had been dropping dramatically from to 88 to 98 being the last ca125 level.).

UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT GAIN
I'm still having
Avastin
every three weeks. I'm on prednisolone now 5mg. I'm a vegetarian and my diet is largely healthy. For months I've had upper abdominal pain and bloating. I had ovarian cancer last year, chemo, surgery then more chemo. Saw a doctor who thinks I have an enlarged liver.

Return to chemo
So, after only 4 months since the last chemo (cisplatin and gemcitabine) and on
Avastin
, i am back on chemo. It’s cisplatin and caelyx this time. Ca125 at 165, from 20 after finishing the chemo in January, and pet scan confirming bad news in the pelvic region.

Any advice on ascitis?
As she became allergic to Carbo Taxol. she was administered Gemzar, which didn't help and is now on
Avastin
. Her CA125 were pretty high and seem to be going down slowly but her ascitis doesn't seem to get any better. Does anyone here have experience with ascitis and its treatment?
