Did anyone else have a slow recovery from
Avastin
? I know it is supposed to have a long half life but thought I might be over it by now? Any thoughts welcome Lyndy xx

Post Avastin
Avastin
stopped working my CA125 has soared and the oncologist is muttering about palliative car. I was having to travel 90 minutes for treatment and was worn out anyway. At least she is now transferring me nearer to home so I will get another opinion.

Avastin?
Does anybody know what criteria determines who is prescribed Avistin after first line treatment and who isn't? I'm in US so curious if this is a more common practice in England but not here. When I asked my Onc if I would be having it she simply said no. I didn't push it, but seems to be standard

Olaparib
I have just been told by my oncologist that I will start Olaparib with
Avastin
, after scan showed progression of disease with more tumours in peritoneum. Does anyone have experience with this therapy? I have BRCA mutation in tumour but not in gene.

The dreaded CA
I am coming up to a year post op and one more
avastin
to go. I was feeling quite jubilant. I asked for my CA result at
Avastin
17 and was confident all would be well as it had sat at 15 for about 4 months. I was gutted that it was 42 and more than doubled in 3 weeks.

What options after chemo?
She had a reaction to
Avastin
so couldn't take that. The doc then tried Gemzar and now Taxol. She previously indicated that she would try Caelyx if the taxol didn't work but Mam always seems to have an allergic reaction to her chemo so the consultant thinks it would make her worse.

Tomaxafin
She had ascites before diagnosed but after frontline of carbo/gem and
Avastin
for 6months her ca-125 is very low but was never high..79 at diagnosis and 13 during treatment. Dr says her scans don't show anything except small ascites still. He put her on Tomaxafin.

Side effects
Had
Avastin
until December when Ca125 levels started to rise rapidly. By February levels were 1400. Showing no symptoms so they left me for 8 weeks. Then bloating started again. Had carboplatin and Caelyx last Tuesday. Felt fine until Friday. Never suffered any side effects from Chemo in the past.

Looking for guidance
I have recently been changed to
Avastin

Avastin
. Thanks

Update Avastin maintenance dose
There was no pressure to continue with the trial but my consultant felt that I had already been through the worst with the combined chemo and
avastin
. I have decided to give the maintenance dose a go and make my decision after I've had a few doses of
Avastin
on its own.

Avastin maintenance dose
Hi there Teal Warriors I had my final chemo last week (first line 3c) and should be feeling relieved that it is over but I am worried about the side effects of taking
Avastin
over the next 9 months.

Avastin side effects..
Hi to my fellow warriors, I need some advice for those of you who had or having the
avastin
treatment and your experience with it. I had my 4th sessions of
avastin
only after my 1st line chemo treatment of carbo/taxol. I was totally very lucky with the carbo/taxol.

High Blood Pressure
What I would like to know is can I have
Avastin
while taking BP meds? Ideally want to see this course of treatment through. Also, what are CEA levels? I have never had these measured and wondered about their relevance. Many thanks. Jenny

Avastin v Trial
My mum has been on the icon 8b trial having carbo with weekly taxol ( taxol at a reduced dose) After surgery it was suggested that she should go onto
Avastin
as there is cancer still there.

Turmeric
Hi everyone Further to my post re joint pain when on
Avastin
, I was all geared up to start intensive turmeric consumption, when another of the ladies on this forum told me that a pharmacist had advised her that turmeric and
Avastin
should not be taken together. Has anyone else heard this?

Hello everyone - introducing me!
I'm on weekly chemo - part of the ICON8B trial, which is messing up my veins - and having Carboplatin, Taxol and Bevacizumab (
Avastin
). Two cycles in, lots more treatment to come. Coping well so far. Hoping the tumour will be reduced enough by end of June to enable the operation.

Ca125 risen a little.
Had my
avastin
today and results of blood test for CA125 was 29. I know this is within normal range but it was 20 last time. I feel worried but they said there's no need atall to worry. What if next time it's gone over 35.? Would they be concerned or does it have to go up considerably ?

Giving up
I am beginning to think that my cancer might be returning, after 6 goes of carbo/taxol and 8 doses of
Avastin
. I was NED in January, and had begun to feel better generally, but in the past fortnight I have had persistent pain in my right groin, and increasing tiredness. I am 70 next Monday.
