Rebound effect
I did notice it worsened after the last
Avastin
. My last ct scan was good enough and lymph nodes are down but he said it was a red flag complaint so had to be followed up. Oh the bite could be a spider bite or a little cyst which isnt a major thing.

Finishing Avastin
Started with Carbo/Taxol plus

Avastin
is due to continue until September (18 cycles).

Retirement
I am doing okay at the moment while on
Avastin
and really I know I am lucky. I hope those of you having treatment at the moment have a long remission when finished. Looking forward to catching up with you during the summer months.

Hallelujah
So the result shows the
Avastin
is still working effectively and our oncologist is happy with me. So back to him in August unless I am in trouble meantime. I will never wait as long again for a result, I will ring the liason nurse. Well we learn from our mistakes.

Nosebleeds
Has anybody been having frequent and unexplained nose bleeds while on
Avastin
, Carbo, Gem combination. I have had to be referred to ENT which I could certainly have done without!!

Ibuprofen whilst on Avastin?
Was interested in the post by DRDU discussing Ibuprofen and am wondering if anyone knows if it is safe, or not, to take ibuprofen whilst on
Avastin
?? I think one reply to her post suggested that it may not be advisable. Does anyone have any knowledge about this please?

getting better
Just wanted to update you all on my new 'chemo'/
avastin
free life. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made and do accept it is one that not many of you will make.

Told 'no cure' after first recurrence.
Have been offered trial with
Avastin
, but onc admits she would not be pushing for chemo just yet as I feel pretty fit and healthy.

SCAN
I am due for
Avastin
tomorrow week so if that is not changed in the meantime, I should be okay. Seeing the oncologist at the end of April, a long wait but they said they would contact me if there was a reason to meantime.

Avastin, again
She went to the
Avastin
website and is terrified of the possible side effects and since she has NED and is starting to feel better every day, wonders if she really needs the
Avastin
or if she should just wait until "if and when" the cancer recurs.

another good news day
Was in yesterday for usual
Avastin
and first Scan since I completed full chemo last Dec. Got a call from Hospital yesterday afternoon to tell my that there is no change - which is all I ask for. My wonderfyl Onc was on holidays, so will chat more with him in 3 weeks time.
