Just wondering what are the views on
Avastin
injections, and the side affects being encountered. I read it is widely used and I have just had my first injection, too early to say if it’s helping but not felt too good since.

Oh and
Avastin
. Series complete in November 17. Kept taking
Avastin
so I’ve been on that for over a year. CA 125 went from a high of 75 to a low of 9.

Avastin treatments.
How long is the longest anyone has been on
Avastin
for maintenance? In Canada the government will pay for 12 treatments, but not more as there is no clinical proof that it remains effective after this period.

2nd line started with CA rising like crazy! Need some hand holding.....
Last Friday I started my Doxil/
Avastin
regimen for my first recurrence just 4 months after finishing frontline. My CA125 had risen to 870 on June 25; on the day of chemo, just 3 weeks later July 13, it was around 1642. What????

both eyes same day?
Went to a new specialist and he gave me
Avastin
injection in both eyes on the same day. This was my 4th injection series and other doctors would not do same day injections. It is better for me due to distance I must travel.

New chemo regieme
The new chemo (
Avastin
is not funded in NZ) is Carboplatin and gemicitabine. Can anyone tell me about side effects. My original treatment was Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. I had significant joint pain with first line treatment and total hair loss. Had hospital admissions as pancytopenic.

Stage IVb Uterine Cancer
It climbed again a few months later and I’m now on doxil and
avastin
for about 6 sessions. My hands, legs and back really hurt. I’m scared about my prognosis. Have any of you had the same diagnosis/treatment? Thank you. Debbie

I’ve recently joined the wet macula brigade unfortunately!
It good to have a forum to chat with people already diagnosed, I am 69 with one eye wet and the other dry, I have just had my first
Avastin
injection and the dreaded iodine that wasn’t used sparingly, I found the injection more painful than I was led to believe so not looking forward to the next, I have

tired after injections?
Anyone find that they are more tired than usual after
avastin
injections? This is very uncommon for me, and I do not think I am stressed about the process( 4th injection, both eyes), but I have had to travel a lot for the injections. I notice it for several days.

I’m new, but have to share.
On Jan. 31, 2017, began 1st monthly
Avastin
injection, ultimately receiving 4 injections. The
Avastin
injections cleared the black floater, but a few gnat size floaters and distortion remained. Started first Eylea injection on June 12, 2017.

Avastin
Has anyone with metastasis stopped
Avastin
due to side effects? I’ve been on it for almost two and a half years and am starting to feel tingling toes. Also I have immense bubbles in my urine. My oncologist is sick and I don’t want to wait till I see him in a couple of months

Totally unexpected diagnosis
So 3 courses of chemo followed by Debulking and total hysterectomy followed by a further 3 courses of chemo and
Avastin
every three weeks afterwards. Total treatment time 15 months, This has all been such a horrendous shock.

Lymph nodes down, CA125 up. How can that be?
My CA went from 126 to 152 from January to end of April on
avastin
only. Stopped that and began the carbo/caelyx straight away and just got my bloods and CA is 180. It's going the wrong way and I don't know why. Next PET scheduled for July and next chemo in 4 weeks.

Pinched vision
She was treated with
Avastin
around three weeks ago. She also had a blind spot at the time which has since resolved. She had a scan today and they told her she doesn't need more injections and that her macula looks OK.

Has anyone had a doctor not be able to penetrate the eye wall ?
Hello, I am new here and have just had my second
Avastin
injection. The first one went well, felt a little pressure as the needle was inserted. That day my eye was tearing and sore next morning a little crusty. Bloodshot was not too bad and after a week all seemed back to normal.

Has anyone experienced Hair Loss with Zejula?
Have already been thru Taxol/Carbo after surgery the 1st time, then Gemzar/Carbo after surgery the 2nd time followed with
Avastin
till my kidneys couldn't take that anymore. So I have already been down that road of wigs & hats, hoping not to go there again.
