Update
I had 6 rounds of carbo/taxol/
avastin
. Interval and delayed debulking not done as deemed too risky. I did however have a partial response, CA125 reducing from 12000 to 4000. (So high) Mesenteric disease was the main problem as it was too close to the bowel.

Wet AMD and Dry AMD
I was just diagnosed 3 weeks ago and got my first shot of
Avastin
. Seems to have helped a little bit. Second shot coming up in 10 days. Second question. I have had dry eyes for the past couple of years but ever since I got the shot my eyes are even more dry than usual.

Recurrence while on Avastin?
Can you recur while on the maintenance of
Avastin
? My cancer markers have continued to trek upwards lately. On
7/21/23
my CA125 went from
30 to 37.
And my recent CA125 on
8/11/23
went to
43
. All while I was on
Avastin
Treatment!

GemCarbo and picc line advice please!
I've also asked for a picc line this time - I couldn't have one last time as I was also having
avastin
so don't know what to expect at all! Any advice gratefully received 🙏 Xx

AMD in one eye
He sent me to a specialist who confirmed it and gave me a shot of
avastin
in my eye. That was two weeks ago. The wavy lines have calmed down a bit but the blurriness is just as bad.

Avastin
, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost!

Ascites coming back,primary peritoneal
She was given
Avastin
as maintenance. About 9 months post treatment the CA markers started to rise and the cancer became active again, she was in good health generally and finished her 6 sessions with the same chemo in January this year.

To recap - my mom was diagnosed in 2018 - debunking, chemo - second lot of chemo in 2021 and
avastin
up until 2022 - now she just had a successful surgery and having her third lot of chemo. I really want her to get a parp the doctor said she doest’t qualify.

Any body else like me?
Surgery and the usual chemo followed and then
avastin
for maintenance. In October ‘22 my ca125 rose gradually and a scan showed 3 lymph nodes that my oncologist didn’t think were anything to worry about, however the subsequent MDT felt it was a recurrence.

Caelyx side effects and duration of treatment plus follow up with target therapy or immunotherapy.
I would like to go again to olaparib /
avastin
because clearly slows down the progression of disease.

Recurrence :(
I then went on to Olaparib, initially with
avastin
, and have done about 1 year 10 months of that, but my last 2 blood tests showed my CA125 was rising and a scan showed that I have a recurrence in my stomach lining and (I think) something in my liver.

Recurrence symptoms
I do get CA125 tests regularly every 3 weeks with the
Avastin
I'm still on, but the onc has asked me to just "watch for symptoms" to see whether or not another CT is necessary. Argh, this is crazy-making :( I'd be very grateful to hear everyone else's experiences. Thank you!

3rd recurrence
But now her
avastin
and olaparib options are done. What next now ?? And one more thing I wanted to mention that she has responded to chemo quite well everytime. Do we have any immunotherapy left now ? I'm little panicking right now. Need your advice.

Advice please
She recovered well and continued with
Avastin
infusions every 3 weeks until May this year when her CA125 started to gradually rise. Her CT scan at this time showed NED and they recommended stopping the
Avastin
.
