Good Friday in my Head
I think it might stem from when I was first diagnosed and I googled my illness and Dr Google gave me a prognosis of 18-24 Mts and time is running out.I find myself saying a lot now,"I wish it was last year,I was on
Avastin
and though I had aches and pains ,I was ok because,I thought it was doing me good

Last one...
😊 My next chapter is 12 cycles of
Avastin
and a CT scan at the end of it. My CA125 before surgery was 700 and is now 5...I'm assured all drugs are and have worked... I would like the CT but I'm told this stresses too many patients and best to wait.

Avastin and aching all over!
Hi all,
Avastin
was introduced into my last 3 carbo/taxol chemo session at the end of 2015 and since January I have just had infusions of
avastin
every three weeks.

ct scan
This leaves me with queries as to why
Avastin
works better for some and not for others? I was loathe to ask that question today. As regards the hip pain its wear and tear and inflammation so I will have to check in with my gp about this at some stage. So back for review in August.

Cold/hay fever symptoms and Avastin?
I'm posting to ask if anyone taking
Avastin
had experienced runny nose, and croaky throat on
Avastin
. I had my first dose with no 5 chemo, and didn't get any effects. The second dose was with my final (hurray) chemo no 6.

Update on Olaparib
Side effects are still a hindrance to living a normal life.Im now fighting a bad chest infection,appetite is reduced,occasionally feeling nausea, severe sweats,low red cell count, chronic fatigue and lethargy .Olaparib is not a cure,it's used in the same way as
Avastin
, and lengthens the time from one

Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had Taxol/Carboplatin (+ a few cycles of
Avastin
), Caelyx/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly Taxol?

Watch and wait - update
As a bit of further info, she had
Avastin
until August and a clear scan in Sept. We will never know where she would be now if she had carried on with
Avastin
as her CA125 started to rise in Oct. Finally, can I have honest feedback on ladies who have had Carbo/Gem, particularly as second line?

Primary peritoneal cancer
Now on
avastin
The last months have been an unbelievable roller coaster of physical and mental feelings. Just need to be in touch with women in a similiar situation. I'm married with 4 fabulous daughters and 7 grandchildren.

Short-Course Bicalutamide with or without Bevacizumab
 - bevacizumab (
Avastin
) is a very expensive angiogenesis inhibitor with a disappointing track record.

Advice please
I was diagnosed with stage 3c high grade serrous O.C. last May and have had weekly chemo, debulking surgery and then more chemo and am half way through my course of
Avastin
. My worry is that my CA125 levels have been creeping up by a point or two every 3 weeks.
