My OC has spread & comeback - despite finishing chemo only last December and remaining on
Avastin
. From my last scan in October it had begun to spread during treatment even. Currently, a blockage & not an obstruction is root of problem, so no surgery.

I'm looking for suggestions for high calorie meal replacements for my mum with partial obstruction. Would really appreciate some advice.
Bit of background - my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian in March 2015. in the last two months she has had partial intestinal obstruction, and the
avastin
she was on doesn't seem to be working.

Para aortic and para caval lymph nodes involvement and surgery
If so did you opt for radical surgery (was it even offered) or just go for the clearing of the pelvis and chemo/radiotherapy and
Avastin
afterwards?

Chemo reaction
This happened once during first line but not 2nd line when I was on gem/carbon/
avastin
. My CA 125 has already started to fall a bit so in the back of my mind I'm worried that I won't be able to continue treatment, though I carried on without a further reaction the first time round.

AVASTIN
Hi there, I am wondering if any of you have been on
Avastin
for longer than two years. I would be interested in the reason why it was stopped, ie funding or a prescribed period being completed. I have just been informed that my course is now finished.

Help please
Then 3
Avastin
where Ca125 went to 800. Onc then put me on Caelyx and after 2 cycles went up to 2111. Seeing onc on 17 th and don't know what he will propose. I read on an American forum where Caelyx is slow to react and may take 4 sessions before it reacts.

Tumour Maker - CA 135?
Hi, I had my second chemo after surgery (6th carbo/taxol in total with
Avastin
now included) yesterday and as my bloods were so good, the onc decided not to give me the Neulasta injection (happy days for me as I found it very hard to tolerate with the bone pain it caused).

Avastin

Check up time
He is stopping the
Avastin
because he finds that two years is now the appropriate cut off time. This gives the body a chance to recover and it is also a fall back if I need it again. He would hope that I stay stable for a while.

Window defect and MD
Hi All, I have early stage MD, which currently is being treated by
avastin
(since lucentis is not used here in Malta) and along with MD I have a window defect (that is what I was told). Does anyone know what can be done to reduce the effect of the said window defect? Thanks.
