Confused and in pain. Can anyone help?
I hope someone can give me some advice.I have had first line chemo (taxol and carboplatin) and I have had 11 of my 18
avastin
infusions and am delighted that my Ca125 has dropped to 23 from over 11 000 at the start.

Avastin and CA125
Hi, I’m on
Avastin
Maintenance and noted that my CA125 has gone from 330 to 450. Should I be concerned or are there other reasons for the count to go up?

I'm Over in the Infusion Room, With Everyone Else
My current cocktail is carboplatin/Alimta/
Avastin
. I’ve left the world of targeted treatment behind.

Anyone Here Has Angioid Streaks?
I then got a second opinion one week ago and the RS put me on
Avastin
right away due to CNV in left eye. I’m confused and worried of what will come next. I’m only 33 and have my whole life ahead a me. The information on the internet doesn’t really help me much.

Bleuggggh!
Morning all, I’m off to see my consultant today to find out how much higher my CA125 has gone, but am on the second day of another migraine so I feel ghastly - I’m wondering whether to stop the
Avastin
as I’m concerned that it may be contributing to the migraine. Any thoughts? Ali x

Sore mouth tip!
I’ve been troubled with a sore mouth and tongue since I started chemo and
Avastin
and have found cleaning my teeth really unpleasant. Quite by chance I discovered that children’s toothpaste is much less minty and therefore not as painful.

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,
