HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED NOSE BLEEDS WHILST ON CISPLATIN OR ANY OTHER CHEMO?
I didn't initially take any notice, as nasal problems are a side effect of
Avastin
and I have been suffering with these for a couple of years. But after web checking the side effects of Cisplatin, I realised nose bleeds was a side effect.

My Avastin isn't working any more
Hi Ladies, Over the past 8 months my cancer marker has been slowing increasing and despite a change in chemotherapy adding Carboplatin to my
Avastin
, it is still rising.

BBFC update.
You must all now have heard that
Avastin
is to be widely available for OC. Very excellent news and I hope many of you will be able to have it. It's going to be interesting to compare stories and results.

I will be back on Carboplatin in a couple of weeks and my Onc is applying for
Avastin
which he seems confident of getting. I pleaded with him to tell me I will survive long enough to see my elder daughter married in 2013, but he side-stepped that question, as I knew he would.

Impact of OC on lungs / AVASTIN / Dealing with pain
2-
AVASTIN
: the oncologist in France stopped giving
AVASTIN
after the first week of chemo on the basis that maybe it was too aggressive for my mother's tumours and might generate an hemorrage - has anyone been given that information ?

Length (time) between first and second line?
Just posing a little q... following on from the thread about
Avastin
, apparently the studies have shown that it can result in an average on 5 months more time between end of first line and first recurrence.

Aspirin and Cancer Spread.
Between $100,000
avastin
(yes, was offered to me) and $10 aspirin, I definitely choose the latter, not because it is cheaper, but because it is far better. Disclaimer: am merely here to share my experience (survival), to voice my personal opinion. No advice of any kind meant.

BACK ON MY BELOVED AVASTIN
So fingers crossed and onwards and upwards and I hope
Avastin

Avastin
. I don´t know yet whether or not I will as here in Wales we do not have a "Drug Fund". I want to thank you all for your inspiration whether I have felt up or down.

JUST KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE WITH LATEST TREATMENT
I had no appetite, lost so much weight and my cancer marker rose by 100, The next decision was to put me on
Avastin
+ Xeloda, this is a treatment for colon cancer, supposedly to treat the ever increasing pain, 24/7, in my colon area and also in the abdomen area.

Is it possible to pay for Avastin privately? If so - how much roughly would it be and how easy is it to do?

Avastin decision
What bothers me most is I have read that after
avastin
treatment ends, if the tumours do come back they come back with a vengeance. Quite simply is there any evidence for this? Thanks

We're applying for Avastin! Wish us luck!
I asked about the possibility of applying to the cancer drugs fund for
avastin
, fully expecting the onc to try and put me off ( don't know why?! ) But she was really positive and is going to apply for the drug for my mum - I'm delighted.
