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
.

First recurrence
My doctor wants 4 two weekly chemo treatments with Doxil,
Avastin
and Carbo I am also wondering how many of you sought a second opinion and if that was helpful.

Recap and update
I have consented to
Avastin
and Olaparib. Onc said I could ask for second opinion from Christina Fitapalou but she said surgery would be radical with no guarantees she will get it all.

Abdominal distension
Had 4 rounds carbo/plaxi/
avastin
, followed by debulking. Completed further 2 rounds of chemo. Cancer recurred within 6 months. So I was denied further surgery. I am BRACA-1.
Avastin
and PARP wasn't effective. Completed carbo/gem in July and subsequent PET scan was NED.

Trial with Niraparib and Avastin
I am now considering a drug trial using Niraparib and
Avastin
combo. I believe it is intended for people who have been taking Niraparib with progression of disease. Would love to hear from anyone. Thank you

I have questions about Tamoxifen, aka Hormonal Therapy
I've been doing
Avastin
since January 2022. Currently my CA-125 is a 43, elevated above the 35 Cancer marker. But my oncologist is monitoring me very closely with Ct-Scans every 3 months. I have had 3 Ct-Scans thus far, & all show no signs of cancer.

What else is available?
A year on
Avastin
and Olaparib with progression. Then my onc tried Carboplatin and then Caelyx neither of which worked and the size of my tumour is what it was at the start of treatment. I’ve never had surgery.

Bowel obstruction with HGOC stage 4a inoperable
It’s not bowel perforation from
Avastin
and so far the
Avastin
is keeping the cancer stable. Has anyone had this problem? Is it possible to still get a few more years after this? Should I be asking for any surgery to unblock it? Xx

chemotherapy followed by maintenance avastin
After 6 cycles the doctor wants to start
avastin
as maintenance. I am afraid that stopping the chemo and having only
avastin
won't keep the CA 125 down. Has anyone received maintenance
avastin
having a high CA125? Did it keep the CA125 at the same level or lower?

mesenteric tumour?
I have had 4 four rounds of carbo/taxol , three of them with
Avastin
. They omitted the
Avastin
for the 4th round in case they were able to offer interval debulking. I had another scan after the third round and had the results a few days ago. I had many questions ready anticipating any outcome.

question about chemo for recurring tumour
He has had an enlarged biopsy, a removal of tumour, radiotherapy x 2, months of TMZ and
avastin
. We’ve had 6 months of stable scans and no chemo which has been amazing. Recent scan showed regrowth and the oncologist is recommending lomustine and
avastin
.
