Wishing all the forum ladies and support workers a restful and peaceful Christmas and New Year.
Hi All, I had my 12th round of
Avastin
last week and have been struggling with generalised aching and joint discomfort. On reflection this has probably been getting worse since round 10. I am also on Olaparib which I know causes similar side effects.

allergic to Caeylx, what now?
I then had 10
Avastin
infusions before it stopped working. Today was my first chemo with Carbo along with Caelyx and I had an allergic reaction to the caeylx. I’m so upset and worried. I see my oncologist on the 19th to discuss what’s next.

Grandsons got chickenpox and I'm supposed to Xmas day with them🤷♀️x
OK 1st time ever that everyone isn't coming to me for Christmas and I'm going to my daughter for lunch but my grandsons came down with chickenpox yesterday and I'm on
avastin
and starting niraparib today! Am I still safe to go? Any advice? I really want to go to them but want to be safe.

Today is a milestone for me. 5 years ago today I had my last round of chemo-
Avastin
continued until January 2019. As I was diagnosed stage 4b I am well aware just how lucky I am. No recurrence so far and I am feeling positive that my CA125 blood test (tomorrow) will remain below 10.

Has anyone taken Avastin?
They think the
Avastin
treatment will reduce the brain swelling. (BTW
Avastin
does not work on breast cancer cells and is not the point of the treatment.) Anyone with a similar experience? Thanks so much! Kay

Best Wishes to All :)
Today was my last treatment of
Avastin
for the year, resume again in January. I'm also restarting Olaparib today which has been reduced for the 3rd time as its messing with my Haemoglobin levels! Anyway, enough about me!

It's back!
I finished
Avastin
(after pac/carbo/surgery) in Dec 21 and I have just been told that the cancer has returned. I will be starting caelyx/carbo .I'm a bit terrified this time I think it's going to be rough I tolerated carbo/Pac well.I'm feeling a bit defeated by it all.

Abdominal Hysterectomy
However there was still residual tumor seen on CT scan and I have been booked to have abdominal hysterectomy on 30th November followed by 2 more chemotherapy,
avastin
and parp inhibitors. I wanted to ask if anyone had hysterectomy and how was the recovery?

Advice please re: Niraparib (Zejula) side effects (i.e. bloating, nausea & vomitting & stomach pains?)
I was offered
Avastin
/ Bevacizumab last year, but they won't prescribe it again for recurrences on NHS. Does anyone know if there are any other drug trials / treatments available.

Greetings everyone.
(May we all gets our diseases cured by the ALMIGHTY. Ameen)
I was diagnosed that there's a Central swelling in my right eye in August,2019. I was seeing flashes and curves and blur. I went to see a doctor, he said you need injections for your eye. I was scared of getting injections

Need a bit of advice on treatments going forward.. avastin vs niraparib?
If i have
avastin
and then reoccur after 6months at the end i can have more chemo then niraparib but if i have niraparib and reoccur i can never have
avastin
but saying this it all depends on how if and when i reoccur! 🤯🤷♀️lost!! I dont even want to think this far ahead lol.

Retinal Bleed
Treated with
Avastin
3 days post incident and is due another shot in November. She had a previous bleed in 2018. However I suspect this bleed is much more extensive. I am looking for similar experiences. Can she gain her vision back in her eye?

Reflection and thanks.
Apart from an almost constant runny nose I have tolerated
Avastin
quite well, and am keeping everything crossed that it has done its job.

watch and wait - how long?
There is a node that grew by .5 cm and they suggested more monitoring, continue
avastin
and if any further changes to start chemo. Anyone had a similar experience? How long were you able to stay off treatment? Any suggestions for her to do in the interm? Feels like a sitting duck

Oral Cytoxan in conjunction w Avastin infusion
My CA 125 has been kept nicely low via
Avastin
infusions every six weeks. Over the last few months I noticed a trend of it slowly creeping up, Ie, a two point increase each time. I knew that this was odd and my oncologist agreed. I have started 50 mg oral cytotoxin once a day.
