Post op results. Feeling so low.
He also said that I may not be having the rest of my
avastin
. Would this be because I'm tumour free at present? I'd rather have it I think. I just keep crying and I know I need to keep positive but it's so hard. Xxx

Any new drug treatments I can ask the doctor about? Running low on options
It is also high grade, and is platinum resistant (platinum plus
avastin
lasted ALMOST 6 months, so it is classed as resistant even though cisplatin has been useful following that.

Hi Women, I am on the every 3 week with
avastin

Water Works
Good morning everyone, I have just finished 6 sessions of carbo/taxol (the last 4 with
avastin
) and have a further 14 sessions of
avastin
ahead of me. Every time I had chemo, I developed a UTI, for which I was prescribed anti-biotics.

Doxil & Avastin treatment
I am now platinum resistant with this recurrence and my oncologist is putting me on the Doxil with
Avastin
. Has anyone else gone through this treatment and what can I expect? What kind of side effects?

Advice which worked
Ever since my second cycle of carbo/taxol/
avastin
I have had constant minor nose bleeds, with unsightly clots and general unpleasantness. I mentioned it to the Oncologist and she suggested putting vaseline up my nostrils. Well I happened to have some so I tried it - instant success.

Avastin

Avastin
infusions, blood work and scans)...but I love celebrating the milestones as they come...and having my last chemo treatment tomorrow is one of them!

in remission
It has been 11 months now, and I am on
Avastin
every 3 weeks. I am hoping this will be permanent, but one just never knows. I am new to this community!

Google.
I will still have surgery and three more chemos to mop up and 16 more cycles of
avastin
. Then I look online. I shouldn't. It said on one site that 90% of ovarian cancer patients will die 5-10 years after they come out of remission. Apparently 90% of us won't stay in remission.

What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of Carboplatin, and first of Taxol and
Avastin
last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it.
