High myopia and the macular
Due to the myopia my eyes are very stretched and I've had several related issues with the macular. 8 years ago I had a blood vessel grow through in the L, and was treated once with
Avastin
, which cleared up the blood, but I'm left with a scar in the centre of the vision. 3.5 years ago I had a retinal

Night sweats
I am on
Avastin
and weekly taxol and have been for several months and have had an occasional night sweat but recently I have had them every night getting up during night to change bed wet as well. Has anyone else suffered these while on treatment and are there any tips to avoid them . Thanks Fiona

re treatment put back.
Thursday is the
Avastin
day where I attend for treatment. I would imagine that some research went into this and the more urgent patients seen today and I have no problem with that. But this is something that shouldnt be happening in our Oncology Units. This is the HSE at its worst.

Over Active Thyroid
I was told the ovarian cancer wouldn't be the cause of this ,but I'm wondering if chemo or
Avastin
could cause this?

Carbo Meltdown
As you know I was heading into cycle 2, 4th line, with carboplatin/gemcitabine and
Avastin
was to be added in shortly (again). Had a mildish reaction to carbo during cycle 1, so additional anti-histamines & anti-nausea added in for cycle 2.

Ongoing Care
I finished my
avastin
in May after 18 treatments following 6 carbo/taxol, debunking surgery then a further 2 cycles carbo/taxol. I had a good response. Follow up is now 3 monthly with Consultant. Do you ladies have CA125 taken at each visit?

Check up time
Regarding the
Avastin
, treatment will terminate around that time also. Length of time two years will be up. The body needs a break after two years seems to be the policy. Regarding my naevity about the colonoscopy of course they tell you to have it and allay any fears I or my gp may have.

. My consultant has offered to support me to finish - I am a community occupational therapist. How has anyone got on with ill heath retirement. Did you get tier 1 or 2?

Scaredy Cat
God knows what my insides are like after chemo combos etc and the
Avastin
. So hedid a check and said I had blood and I would have to have a colonoscopy. So he prescribed pessaries which have done the trick, no further irritation maybe a little a few days after

Recurrence
I asked about
Avastin
after 2nd line and my then Onc dismissed it without much discussion. I didn't realise at the time I could only have it after second line. My now onc looked into it last time but said I didn't qualify. Beginning to think some of my options are running out.

The Carousel Journey Again
Avastin
will be added in on cycle 2 or 3... Previously I was on carboplatin & taxol. For some reason, even though I had carbo without any allergic reaction - this time, I did. So it slowed the infusion down and was dosed with antihistamines & cardiac trace done.

Am I being over protective of myself?
Just another question.My CA 125 test is done every 3 weeks while on
Avastin
yet,my husband and I were informed that they don't really go by the levels of the CA125 while on
Avastin
as it can give false reading.

Avastin
Does anyone know whether
avastin
can be taken in conjunction with this combination.
Avastin
has not been discussed as we live in Wales, however, I'm keen to know whether it is an option with this chemo as if possible we will look into paying privately. Thank you xx
