3rd recurrence with stage IIIc
I was diagnosed 12/11 with stage 3c serous. 6 rounds carbo/taxonomy, 12 rounds
Avastin
along with a debunking and hysterectomy. I also lost my colon to the ovarian cancer. I have an iliostomy. I did great on chemo. Lost my hair but survived.

Low grade serous carcinoma - what maintainence therapy
I'm trying to decide whether to continue with
avastin
as maintainence therapy. Apparently I need maintainence cos I'm stage 3c. The problem is that
Avastin
is not so effective if there is no residual disease and in low grade it may only extend remission.

Scan results
Today I am getting anxious as I get my scan results after 6 carbo/ taxol and 18
Avastin
. Been a long wait as the scan was 4 weeks ago but I have tried to put it to the back of my mind. I suppose it could go one of two ways and I am dreading a bad result but hoping for a period of watch and wait.

Avastin
My wife has low grade serous ovarian cancer, she was treated with Taxol, Carboplaxin and
Avastin
. We were told the
Avastin
had some serious side effects including bowel perforation. After her 3rd treatment, we had her admitted into the hospital with a bowel perforation.

reprieve!!
, (I was expecting the worst after several rises in CA125) I will be staying on
Avastin
every 3 weeks as before. Blood test and another visit to see oncologist in 3 weeks, just hope CA125 not rising to much.

Insurance again.
The others said its because I'm still having treatment -
avastin
. MIA insurance will cover me for £163. With my son and partner added it would be £453. They can get their own insurance. Only thing is, if I had to cancel, they couldn't cancel on their separate policy for me being ill.

Rising CA125 with Avastin
I just completed my 8th
Avastin
but CA125 counts are rising each time. Now up to 61. My last scan showed NED which is great but the rising counts make me feel that something is lurking. Has anyone else experienced rising counts on
Avastin
?

Low grade serous
Have had 3 rounds of chemo ( carbo,taxol and
avastin
) 6 sessions to have then another 12 of
avastin
on its own. Just wondered if anyone else has the same and how long ago they have been fighting this horrible disease. Thank you Leeanne

Last Avastin tomorrow
Tomorrow the first part of the journey completes for me...my last cycle of
Avastin
. I am well...ca125 alright scan clear but I find it's bringing up some odd feelings. I've had about 20 months of treatment having been dx stage 4 in July 2015. Chemo-surgery-chemo, then
Avastin
and BRCA 1 positive.
