I have completed my 18
avastin
treatments and my last body ct scan and brain mri are clear. The area they were concerned about in my brainstem has shrunk and now they don’t think it was ever anything significant but will monitor me 3 monthly.

I am on
Avastin
now. Lately I’ve been experiencing tension or sinus headaches frequently, my gums bleed a lot and I feel discomfort in my neck area. I am getting a CT scan tomorrow but if the abdomen. Am I freaking out again or can these be signs that the cancer had metastasized to my head area?

AVASTIN length of treatment
Hello, I’m wondering how long any of you have managed to tolerate
Avastin
. I’ve been having it since March first with second line then on it’s own and I’m really struggling.

Dilemma
After Carbo/Taxol and the big op, I had
Avastin
- half way through my CA125 started to go up leading to my first recurrence and second line chemo in June 2018.

Happy new year to all, I would appreciate advice on wearing contact lenses with Wet AMD?
I am having Eyelea injections in both eyes after 6 months of
Avastin
that stopped working. Since my injections my specs don’t seem to be as good, but today I tried my contact lenses in and found my sight to be a little better, I am wondering if anyone else has found this?

Doxil and Avastin
Hey guys I just wanted to know what to expect from this drug combination I had my first round and felt pretty good had very few side effects. Should I expect this through out my whole treatment or is it cumulative? Please let me know your experiences with this drug. I’m clear cell stage 2c grade

Avastin rare side effects
My mom started Doxil and
Avastin
for her first reoccurence of OC seven months ago. Mid-way (roughly August) through the cycle -
Avastin
was stopped due to high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and severe headaches.

Swollen posterior auricular (lymph node behind your ear)
Hello, Very specific question, has anyone had their lymph nodes behind the ear swell as either part of the disease or treatment (I’m on
Avastin
). One of mine has been swollen off and on for a couple of weeks, initially thought I’d bumped it or slept oddly but now it’s definitely swollen.

Failed Eye Injection
With my 3rd
Avastin
injection I felt a good deal of discomfort and pressure and seemed like the doctor was using a lot of force. I semi-panicked as my mind was racing to understand why this injection was different. I was pretty close to asking her to stop.

Maintenance Therapy
I am interested to know if anyone is on Maintenance Therapy after initial first line treatment............I know about
Avastin
but wondered if there is anything else offered by the medical profession.

Blurry Vision 7 days after injection.
I did not respond to well to
Avastin
and was switched to Eylea which seemed to stabilize my sight for the last 4 months. However after this last injection (and after the 24 to 48 hours of recovery) there has been a dramatic change in vision.

Update on my myopic cnv macular degeneration
I received one injection of
Avastin
4 days later. I was so upset I actually thought death would be easier (!) and i lost a lot of weight because I couldn't eat. I was starving, but I had zero appetite. I was worried for my daughters because I desperately didn't want this to happen to them.
