Silicone floater after Avastin Injection
I had an
Avastin
Injection in my left eye for WMD February 2019. Since the injection, I am seeing a circular floater that has a black ring around a white, shiny center. It floats around my vision in bright light inside and outside. It is very annoying when looking at something white.

Steroids and Weight Gain
Now on
Avastin
, have polymyalgia rheumatica which is excrutiating and osteoporosis. I've been on prednisolone for months, variable dose, but have gained almost 3 stone since I started taking them earlier this year. I must come off these steroids.

Obstruction / blocked bowel - no surgery. Any advice - PLEASE
She finished chemo in September and has been on
avastin
since then. Please does anyone have any advice at all?? Surely there’s more chemo or drugs. We have been asking since Feb for another scan but but they said they weren’t concerned and now it seems the disease has spread very quickly.

Help needed with NZ petition for funding of Avastin and Lynparza for Ovarian cancer
I know personally that
Avastin
costs circa $5k per month, and that is just for the drug itself. Not sure about Lynparza, but if Olaparib is anything to go by ($10k per month), then it will be very expensive.

Roller Coaster
I finished
Avastin
at end of October 2018 which kept the beast at bay. I was due to start Carboplatin and Caelyx in March but before that hospitalised for chest infection and then replacement of ureter stent and continuing devastating fatigue.

Blood while passing srool
Is it side effects of
avastin
or irinotecan. What should I do? I have informed my oncologist, going to see him today. But I am worried. It happened during
avastin
, now dropped
avastin
but what may be the reason? God knows.

Avastin no disease progression
I am OC stage 4 inoperable and have been on
Avastin
since January my 3 month scan results from my consultant yesterday shows no progression of the disease so the
Avastin
is doing its job stopping the cancer forming new blood vessels. I hope it carries on doing this.

Long term treatment for Macular degenerative disease
I tried different type of injections ... finally got back to the cheap
Avastin
product ... and the good news is that my eye respond well to it and is improving from one month treatment to two months. When the pain gets to bad I use just a bit of codeine to get me going to next injection.

First post - Stage 3? High grade OC
Confused about staging since I did not have a ct scan completed before surgery :-( Now 9 weeks later I just finished cycle 2 of carbo/taxol/
Avastin
My regime is weekly with 6 cycles of carbo/taxol/
Avastin
(every 3 weeks) and taxol weekly in between.

PET SCAN RESULTS
I had a PET scan this week to see how things are a year after finishing Chemo and stopping
Avastin
in January. Well it’s good news, no sign of any metastasis and the areas that were affected are still looking clear.

Mom has ovarian cancer in omental cake from ovarian cancer.
She has started chemo again but a different regiment including
Avastin
, CarboPlatin, and Gimzar. But has become too weak and is only on
Avastin
. The Dr. Said her cancer is small amounts that are collected in an omental cake, but too numerous to find all and remove.

My silicone bubble is back.
Some moths ago I reported that the silicone bubble I had gotten in my eye from a
Avastin
injection, for wet AMD, had floated above my field of vision at last, and was no longer my constant companion. Today I did some intensive "spring cleaning", furniture moving and such too.

Mother with PPC stage IV
After the last of 6 chemocures the 27th of november, she started up with
Avastin
/Bevacizumab. Last week she had to end the
Avastin
treatment due to high protein leves in her urine, so as of now she is not receiving any treatment.
