Allergic reaction no.3. Advice please.
Over a period of years, I’ve had one
Avastin
, and many Lucentis and latterly Eylea injections. Both eyes are now treated. The injection procedure itself is usually ok, but on 3 occasions the after effects have been agonising.

Avastin
Hi everyone, Can anyone advise me about
Avastin
and the criteria for having it in the UK for first line treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer along with pacletaxel and carboplatin.

First scan result post first line, not sure what to make of it 🤔
My mum finished first line treatment on Dec 27th (she had her debulking ok 23rd nov) following a diagnosis of stage 3c OC/PPC in June 2018 (they can't decide which) she is on
avastin
until around Sept.

Long term Avastin
I’m new here and I have been in remission (2nd time) for 16 months and will have my 32
Avastin
infusion next week. Has anyone been on
Avastin
for a long time and had a recurrence?

Another new approach!!
After
Avastin
, and 2 platinum chemos in addition to all the rest and olaparib, which was great for 18 month, then cisplatin, then gems. (I think) I again reacted to platinum and we are now going to start another Astrazeneca. 7 plus years and counting, stage 4, 70 yrs old. See below.

OvarIan 3C Avastin & Doxil
Has been getting
Avastin
since march 2018. Started every 3 weeks for a few months. Ca125 kept rising. Then changed to a cycle of doxil and
Avastin
every 4 weeks (day 1), and just
Avastin
in the middle of the 4 weeks (day 15).

Rotterdam Regimen- any information please
I was having
Avastin
and had 9 treatments but now my CA125 has increased to 2900 after being below 30. I finished my first chemo in August 2018 after being diagnosed Stage 4 in January 2018 and have had TAH. Is there anything I should be aware of on this treatment?

Infusion port
As it became harder and harder to access the veins and my forearms are all swallen and bruised all the time, and because I am going to have
Avastin
infusions following the chemo, I decided to have a port installed. Had it done on Saturday (4 days ago).

I have completed my 18
avastin
treatments and my last body ct scan and brain mri are clear. The area they were concerned about in my brainstem has shrunk and now they don’t think it was ever anything significant but will monitor me 3 monthly.

Sound Familiar?
I am on
Avastin
now. Lately I’ve been experiencing tension or sinus headaches frequently, my gums bleed a lot and I feel discomfort in my neck area. I am getting a CT scan tomorrow but if the abdomen. Am I freaking out again or can these be signs that the cancer had metastasized to my head area?

AVASTIN length of treatment
Hello, I’m wondering how long any of you have managed to tolerate
Avastin
. I’ve been having it since March first with second line then on it’s own and I’m really struggling.

Dilemma
After Carbo/Taxol and the big op, I had
Avastin
- half way through my CA125 started to go up leading to my first recurrence and second line chemo in June 2018.

Happy new year to all, I would appreciate advice on wearing contact lenses with Wet AMD?
I am having Eyelea injections in both eyes after 6 months of
Avastin
that stopped working. Since my injections my specs don’t seem to be as good, but today I tried my contact lenses in and found my sight to be a little better, I am wondering if anyone else has found this?
