**UPDATE ON MY MUMS FIRST SCAN RESULTS FOLLOWING FIRST LINE CHEMO**
It does state that she won't be having another scan until the end of her
avastin
in Sept unless her ca125 starts rising or she gets symptomatic. So let's hope and pray and keep everything crossed 🤞 Thank you to everyone who posted on my previous post Sarah x

Reccurence on avastin
I was due to continue
avastin
for another 9 months but they have now stopped it and advised chemotherapy again. This news has obviously deverstated me and made me think that my cancer is very aggressive, i knew it was stage 4 but i was hoping for a bit of a break whilst on the
avastin
.

CA125 stress
Praise God (and wonderful NHS) am in remission. now on
Avastin
until July. Finding the CA125 test every three weeks very stressful. Mine was through the roof before treatment and now it’s at 11.5. What I worry about is that it was 10 before that and 7 / 8 during treatment.

How often do you see your Oncologist?
Is it every three weeks whilst undergoing chemo or
Avastin
and then less frequently when not receiving treatment. Do you see an Oncology nurse or Pharmacist if you don't see your Oncologist? thank you, Sticky3006

Avastin and 2nd line chemo, Aurelia trial?
Is there anyone her who either took part in the Aurelia trial and had the
Avastin
or anyone who has had
Avastin
along with 2nd line chemo? If so what were the results? Do you feel with
Avastin
was worth the risk (given high side effects?) Thank you!

Stopping Avastin
I know that if anything rears it’s head it’ll be Chemo as well as
Avastin
, but it’s a gamble I’ve decided to take. It’s been non stop treatment since I was diagnosed in October 2017, so a break is going to be very welcome. Have a good weekend everyone. Joy 😘

Allergic reaction no.3. Advice please.
Over a period of years, I’ve had one
Avastin
, and many Lucentis and latterly Eylea injections. Both eyes are now treated. The injection procedure itself is usually ok, but on 3 occasions the after effects have been agonising.

First scan result post first line, not sure what to make of it 🤔
My mum finished first line treatment on Dec 27th (she had her debulking ok 23rd nov) following a diagnosis of stage 3c OC/PPC in June 2018 (they can't decide which) she is on
avastin
until around Sept.

Long term Avastin
I’m new here and I have been in remission (2nd time) for 16 months and will have my 32
Avastin
infusion next week. Has anyone been on
Avastin
for a long time and had a recurrence?

Another new approach!!
After
Avastin
, and 2 platinum chemos in addition to all the rest and olaparib, which was great for 18 month, then cisplatin, then gems. (I think) I again reacted to platinum and we are now going to start another Astrazeneca. 7 plus years and counting, stage 4, 70 yrs old. See below.

OvarIan 3C Avastin & Doxil
Has been getting
Avastin
since march 2018. Started every 3 weeks for a few months. Ca125 kept rising. Then changed to a cycle of doxil and
Avastin
every 4 weeks (day 1), and just
Avastin
in the middle of the 4 weeks (day 15).

Rotterdam Regimen- any information please
I was having
Avastin
and had 9 treatments but now my CA125 has increased to 2900 after being below 30. I finished my first chemo in August 2018 after being diagnosed Stage 4 in January 2018 and have had TAH. Is there anything I should be aware of on this treatment?

Infusion port
As it became harder and harder to access the veins and my forearms are all swallen and bruised all the time, and because I am going to have
Avastin
infusions following the chemo, I decided to have a port installed. Had it done on Saturday (4 days ago).
