After 6 years of feeling let down I paid to see a top consultant and he immediately gave me an
Avastin
injection. He referred me to a local Moorfields clinic and there I received about 26 injections of Lucentis and Eyelea over about 3 years.

Wet AMD or Central Serous Retinopathy?
He did 2
Avastin
injections. The wavy lines I was seeing disappeared, but I think my central vision got more blurry and washed out then it had been before. After the
Avastin
injections the OCT scan showed no change, so he wants to try Lucentis injections.

‘It’s the season to be stable!
Hi all, I’ve had my last
Avastin
, my scan shows I’m stable and although it has gone up quite steeply, my CA125 has plateaued at 234. I’ve got another scan in January after which the consultant will be able to tell me if I’m fit enough to have a holiday in New Zealand.

Please help me girls to get out of this gloom
I knew in my heart that nothing was happening since I went on weekly carbo/
avastin
only but they won't give me Taxol or Taxotere again after what it did for me. Together with a load of stuff going on with other things I just needed a boost today and it hasn't come.

Smear test
Tried to have one today unsuccessfully as too painful to continue. The leaflet that came with the letter telling me a smear test was due was all about needing a smear when sexually active. I have not been in over 10 years due to being single and the endometriosis. I’m now seriously considering not trying

No surgery
After 3 cycles of chemo surgery was scheduled but after opening her up they said surgery was not feasible due to pattern of spread and would continue with chemo and
Avastin
. Anyone have a similar experience?

Stage 3c low grade serous cancer tumor pressing against my colon
I was on
avastin
but I was losing use of my arms, so they took me off of it and put me on the hormone pill they put breast cancer patients on. My ca125 was 99.9 but jumped 45 points in a month. I had a cat scan and my tumor is pressing against my colon.

Happy, Positive to All
I am very lucky that chemo, surgery, chemo and now
Avastin
has worked for me. I shake my head and wonder ‘what have I done to be so lucky’. I had stage 4 overian cancer, with secondary in my lung. Guess you just never know your luck. Good luck to all of you.

Avastin
Hello lovelies I have been on
Avastin
for 9 cycles following first line NED. So far so good .... BUT, my protein has been increasing and I ended up having my last cycle (3 weeks ago) cancelled.....after a 24 hour urine test again this time I’ve got to miss this next cycle too.

Injections for Macular Degeneration
I had 3 injections of
Avastin
and did well. I wanted to switch to Eyelea and finally convinced a new Retina Specialist to inject me last week. I am now beginning to feel like my eye is not doing as well as before. Is there really a difference in results?

Parul
The chemo didn’t work as I got allergic to taxol and resistant to carboplatin Then was given navoaclutaxol weekly with
avastin
every two weeks. Finished six cycles of chemo and was on maintenance dose of
avastin
. Markers are normal but the scan done yesterday shows 2 lymph nodes slightly swollen.

Stable!
I’m to complete my
Avastin
(only two to go), have another scan in January to see how things are and then tackle any progression then. Depending upon the scan and CA125 results, I’m considering having a break from any medication to allow my body to shake off the chemicals ready for the next lot.

Some news that has rocked my boat a little today.
The pain is caused by the
avastin
, according to today's on duty oncologist.

Second line treatment - advice please!
I’ve got two treatments of
Avastin
out of eighteen left to go, but my CA125 has gone up from 33 to 193 in the last few weeks. I’ve had one scan which came back as ‘stable’ and I’m having the results of another scan on Wednesday.

Update to confused and in pain
She also said that they do not know how many doses of
Avastin
are needed to improve survival chances and that I should feel pleased that I managed 11.
