hello ladies.
Not sure how much longer I will be on
Avastin
but if it is working will not complain. Hope you are all doing good as we head into Autumn, which is a time I love.

I was on a clinical trial for ovarian cancer and had weekly chemo, carbo & paxi. Last chemo was 1st February 2013. Cancer has returned!
Oncologist has ordered another CT with a view to starting 2nd line treatment with
Avastin
. I do not want another round chemotherapy but feel I have no option. Any advice??

Avastin & headache side effect
Hi. Just to update you. Only on the new painkillers since Friday evening, and while I had a headache on Sat morning and had to take an additional pain killer during that day - since then NO PAIN ... yippee. Had forgotten what it was like to have no pain. So pleased with the immediate benefit. Also, as

Next step of the journey
Previously have tried
Avastin
, Carboplatin, Gemcitabine & Pemetrexed. Unfortunately non of which have been successful. All hopes now on Abraxane. My oncologist certainly isn't giving up and seems to be throwing everything at me, although I'm led to believe this is our last hope.

Requests to Join Clinical Trials
My oncologist then referred me to another trial at the Marsden which would have given me access to
Avastin
. I rang the RM and spoke to a secretary there who told me there was a funding problem.
