Questions for early stage trials
This is the last treatment I can have locally as I have exhausted all they have to offer: debulking surgery, taxol, carboplatin,
Avastin
, Caelyx, Gemcitabine, Niraparub, Letrozole, Exemestane. I am now platinum resistant and am also BRCA negative.

Avastin with carboplatin.
I am post debulking surgery and Dr has now said 2 rounds of
Avastin
and carboplatin ( had a bad reaction to paclitaxel on first lot of chemo) then a maintenence IV of
Avastin
for 12 months. Also I have asked for a PICC this time as my poor veins can't take any more prodding and poking.

In focus: targeted therapies - immunotherapy
As we mentioned in our post about
Avastin
, it targets a protein called ‘VEGF.’
Avastin
is the only immunotherapy drug currently licensed to treat ovarian cancer in the UK.

Anyone having blood pressure issues following IV Avastin injections?
I was mildly elevated at times(pre
Avastin
therapy) but nothing ever this high. Increased BP is a somewhat documented side effect of IV
Avastin
injections. Anyone having BP issues since starting IV
Avastin
?

Back Ache?
In any event, over the past several weeks, when I started my 3rd line of treatment with taxol and
avastin
, I’ve noticed my lower back really bothering me. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Could be side effects. Could be cancer spreading.

Avastin
sticks to the VEGF so that it can’t bind to the blood vessel cells and tell them to grow a new vessel.

OC has spread to lungs
Oncologist called this afternoon to discuss adding
Avastin
. He described the possible horrific side effects. Has anyone had success in shrinking lung metastasis with or without

Severe Vitreous Swelling & Bruising After Eyelea Injection
My new doctor (medical retina specialist) says this is normal , but I did not have the same reaction from the
Avastin
shots delivered by the retina surgeon I previously saw. Any insight would be helpful as I have an appointment coming up next for another Eyelea shot. Thanks!

Blurry vision after 2nd Avastin injection
Received my first
avastin
injection a month ago. Received my second yesterday afternoon and also the doc did a steroid injection. Note that my vision was extremely blurry after my first
Avastin
injection which lasted about a day.

Two very frustrating experiences. Cancer is not always the problem.
Also turns out that
avastin
, the drug I was on in my research shows that about 15% of patients end up with gastrointestinal ulcers.

In focus: targeted therapies - PARP inhibitors
Unlike

(which we covered in last week’s post at: https://healthunlocked.com/ovacome/posts/144311014/in-focus-targeted-therapies-bevacizumab-
avastin
?responses=144311215), PARP inhibitors are tablets, so you can take them at home and don’t need to go to hospital for your treatment.

Gemzar side effects
FDA has no relevant info or suggestions. 3 months later, now on
avastin
infusion every 3 weeks, plus a daily chemo pill, extreme shortness of breath, low energy, & bumps / panniculitis are unchanged. Lost 20+ pounds, all fluid. Swelling most back to pre.gemzar levels .

Bad Avastin reaction
Thankfully onco. agreed to 'set the
Avastin
aside' for the minute, so I'm back on the usual 2-drug combo, but I was wondering: has anyone else had such a bad reaction to
Avastin
?
