Scared about chemo effects, and the future...
I've just finished 8 sessions of chemo, and had weekly taxol, with 3 rounds of carboplatin, and 2 of
avastin
. I'm due to have my surgery the 2nd week of January and then will restart another round of chemo.

Flu jab.
Yesterday I had my fourth cycle of chemo and
avastin
. I was advised by the chemo nurse to get a flu jab. I phoned my doctors surgery this morning and they said they're so sorry but I'm not eligible. I need to get it done at a chemists. It's not the money I'm bothered about but the principle.

Daily behaviour following debulking surgery
I have done a few walks (just around the house, or the garden so that I'm being a little bit active...) and then I find I get a heavy tiredness come over me, similar to when I have all 3 drugs on chemo (carboplatin, taxol and
avastin
) and so I've ended up laying on the sofa again...where I've stayed,

Avastin and sinus problems?
Have any of you had problems like this after being on the
Avastin
? This is so miserable and I was just starting to feel a bit more like myself. Thank you for any responses.

Thoughts On Avastin
Having read very many of your posts over the last months I noticed how many of you are receiving
Avastin
. I raised the subject at my review yesterday and am meeting with the cons next week to discuss in detail. It is not straightforward as it is not generally available where I live.

High grade serous adencarcinoma
Last week I saw my doctor and he said I am in complete remission but will still need the three more chemos and most of next year on
avastin
. I was feeling quite happy about this.

Feeling positive.
. 👍🏻 I still need my three mop up chemos and a year on
avastin
but he said I'm in complete remission. Can hardly believe it. Just got to make sure the little gremlin doesn't rear its ugly head again. Xxxx

Hi Newbie Here! Starting treatment next week and I'm slightly nervous!
I have now got a date to start treatment (3rd January, either
Avastin
/Lucentis or Eyelea according to the letter from the hospital). I can't say that i'm looking forward to having the injections - are they as bad as i'm imagining? Will I be able to drive the next day?

Make the days count....
I continued on
Avastin
but in mid Oct'16 CA125 started to rise. It was 37 on 5th Sept which was actually my birthday! On 2nd Nov 190, I don't know what it is now. Recent CT scan is still NED but oncologist wanted to start chemo again.

UTI's
Has anyone else had recurrent urine infections while on
Avastin
? These start (every time) 2 days after my treatment, and the GP is not going to keep giving me antibiotics.

UTI's
This is just 12 days after the last UTI, and I haven't even had the
Avastin
yet. That is not til next Friday. Obviously I will talk to the onc today, as I know
Avastin
can effect the kidneys. Do you think it could have this effect on the bladder too?

Mastectomy on avastin
I am on
avastin
only after my chemo for oc stage 3c. I have just read that while on
avastin
the healing process takes longer. It's made me wonder if they will go ahead with this operation while I'm on
avastin
??

Anti sickness tablets
Hi warriors, I finished chemo 4 weeks ago and am now on
avastin
only. I have been taking metoclopromide for sickness daily throughout. I haven't suffered much sickness because of this. I was just wondering when to stop taking them or whether I should carry on because of the
avastin
??

My Story
I had one stereotactic radiation treatment to my brain, take Tarceva daily and get an IV infusion of
Avastin
every four weeks. Oh, and did I mention prayer? I talk to God all the time.

Elevated eosinophils at recurrence?
She has been getting
Avastin
as maintenance therapy for the last 9 months or so, every 3 weeks, and has been tolerating it very well (just slight hypertension). Only in the last month or two am I seeing some odd changes on he lab results.
