CA125 on the up, CT scan shows new growth in/on liver and a spot next to the spleen. No more Avastin - what next?
Diagnosed 3c ovarian cancer back in July 2012, had debulking November 2012, ended up with permenant colostomy :) Started 2nd line gemcitabine/carboplatin plus the wonder drug
Avastin
, back in November 2013, after progression in the lymph nodes.

continuing on avastin
I saw my oncologists last week and they are letting me continue on
avastin
after the 18 doses they initially said I could have. He looked up the documentation. (He was a locum consultant I think, brought in because the clinic was so busy).

Carboplatin/taxol with Avastin for 2nd line treatment
However the only mention of
Avastin
is through the cancer drugs funding but ONLY for first line. Please could any of you who are on carbo/taxol with the addition of
Avastin
for second line tell me if it was offered automatically or not and if not if you had a battle to get it approved.

4th line chemo
Again, mam willing to try more chemo, so awating a hospital bed to start
Avastin
and a yet to be decided drug, and another scan to see if more drainage possible. My mam is a lovely brave kind good person, I am her only daughter and we are very close, she is much loved by us all.

IRISH DAILY MAIL
It would appear that there is a new drug coming on stream called pazopanib which will work even better than
Avastin
. There is a trial starting in Uk and when they start over there, they probably do same here. It is an oral tablet taken daily.

scan result d day
So staying on
Avastin
every three weeks which is doable of course and I know I am lucky to have it. So there is always hope as he has said in the past himself. Just off to shower and get out on this nice day for a walk.

Avastin side effects?
At our appt. with the gyn-onc yesterday, we asked about
Avastin
(my mom has stage 3 ovarian or peritoneal cancer, they haven't said which!). The gyn-onc said he doesn't like using it because it can cause bowel perforations, but I haven't seen this mentioned in the literature.

Run out of chemo options. Clinical Trials now
Also, although very rare,
Avastin
can cause problems with the heart, so all in all my poor old body which has put up with so much treatment not to mention three major operations, is finally trying to tell us all something.

CT scan clear but why CA125 rising?
Following 2nd line chemo (Carbo, Gem &
Avastin
) CA125 already rising. Only got the CA125 down to 471 but nevertheless no evidence of disease on the scan. On
Avastin
only now. I feel pressure low in my abdomen and like I want to go to the loo all the time.

Annie Mulholland -The One Show feature on Ovarian Cancer
It follows the story of cancer patient Annie Mulholland who discovers 2½ years into treatment that she had not been given the same information as other patients in Wales about the cancer drug
Avastin
and that information given to her about access to clinical trials had been misleading.

just checking up on you all
This has been a long year, it is my first time staying on treatment as in
Avastin
every three weeks. Now I notice my nails are weaker, etc etc. I have scan in October and see the consultant a few days later.

Hello> CA125 up on Avastin
I've just had it confirmed that my CA125 has gone up by 200 to 593 after my first
Avastin
with no Carbo and Gem. This would suggest to me that
Avastin
doesn't work for me. This is probably because we couldn't get my CA125 down to normal so it really didn't stand such a chance.
