Apologies if anyone has posted about this
Has anyone seen the article in the paper today about big pharma Novartis and Bayer threatening to sue the NHS because the cancer drug
Avastin
has been found to help with Macular Degeneration ? The
Avastin
costs £12 per injection . The other two £742 and £816 per dose . Shocking !

45. Ovarian Cancer. Stage 4. Won't bloody stop me!!
Undergoing intensive chemo, 6 rounds of carboplatin/taxol/
avastin
every 3 weeks. Hopefully op to remove everything I don't need. Then a maintenance phase of 12 rounds just of
Avastin
, every 3 weeks. 2 rounds done, feeling good and positive.

Avastin and itching
Avastin
was added for cycles 4-6 and Paxlitaxel removed for cycles 5 & 6 due to Neuropathy. Just wondering if anyone's experienced itchiness with
Avastin
. We think it's the
Avastin
as the itchiness only started during cycles 5 & 6.

Avastin and knee, shoulder pain
Hello All, My mother is on
Avastin
. She has taken 3 doses (600 mg) at an interval of 21 days. Total she has been advised for 17 doses.
Avastin
has started after her chemo were over. After having Avastin's first dose, she has started having too much of knee pain.

I was wondering.....
I also receive
Avastin
and immunotherapy/placebo. This was more difficult side effects than before. I was more nauseated and the body aches were worse and lasted longer as well. I am a very positive person and the treatment is working so please do not take it at a complaint.

Gemcitabine
I had an anaphylactic reaction to Paclitexol when first started on chemo back in March and became allergic to
Avastin
too. I am now about to start Gemcitabine. It will be administered week 1, 8, 15 and a rest week. I have recently returned to work on a phased return.

365 Days!
On this day last year I was having my debulking operation - I wasn’t sure I’d be here the next day let alone a year later, but here I am, chemo and
Avastin
later and feeling pretty good! I’ve been able to do all the things I did before - grannying, horse riding (see above!!)

Saying hello after a good day
She had debulking followed by first line chemo carbo/taxol &
Avastin
& thankfully was NED at the end of treatment. We had her 3 monthly oncologist apt today & were so relieved to be told that her CA125 (which has always been a good indicator for her) is still really low at 7 & exam was normal.

Blood pressure
Mine went up with
avastin
, so I was put on amlopodine, which seemed to control it. When I finished
avastin
I noticed that my feet seemed to swell rather unattractively, and my doctor said to stop taking the amlopodine, so I did.

If I’m Not Nuts By Now
A rare condition called thrombotic microangioplasty brought on by the toxic drug
Avastin
. Within days, I was admitted to the hospital had an emergency port put in my neck to start dialysis. In the meantime, he did a kidney biopsy to prove that his theory was correct.

Enjoy the good times
Not only have I made it, but I’ve coped so well with everything despite
Avastin
side effects and my stoma. Walked miles everyday and had to miss out on nothing. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of all of you, especially the ones who are currently in treatment.

PET - News to cheer me up and hope it helps you too.
When the carbo stops I'll remain on
avastin
for the foreseeable future and although I'll never be totally cancer free it should be controlled and I will enjoy every minute I get in whatever type of remission I get and don't worry about the future.

Wet AMD Advice needed
After receiving 3
avastin
injection by NHS in my left eye my sight has been stabilised for 3 months and did improve but my vision is still quite blurry. My question is if an extra injection would reduce the liquid around. Regards,

Avastin not working - what happens next?
She finished carboplatin and caelyx in the spring, and was on
Avastin
in order to help slow tumour growth; but we got an email from Prof J a few days ago saying that her CT scan wasn't so good this time - so it's coming back, and quickly. The consultation is on Thursday.

The mountain lion is closing in again!
I’m seeing my consultant today because my CA125 is continuing to rise - I was NED in February and have had 14 of 18
Avastin
, but started to feel that all was not well at the start of September. I had a scan three weeks ago which showed no change from February, but am being more closely monitored.
