Hello 2018! anyone with stage 3c low grade serous carcinoma
I have been on a study and different chemo .the last one was doxile and
avastin
. Well the doxil was to hard on my kidneys so I have taken 21 rounds of
avastin
. Well I started having horrible shoulder pain and losing use of my arms so they took me of putting me on letrozole.

Feeling a little scared
Taxol/
Avastin
, Doxil, Gemzar, and now onto Pemetrexed. Each time it seems to be a shorter time before I start feeling signs that the cancer is growing. I am staying positive but feeling like I wish I could do more to fight this. Has anyone else gone through this many chemos and still doing ok?

Can't stop worrying about my mom..
She went through Chemo, and then
Avastin
a couple months later. She was deemed NED with a CA-125 of 3 (Feb. 2016). She's had many scans since, and they've all been clear, but her numbers started creeping up slowly, and now more rapidly.

First Doxil didn't work, then Carbo Gemzar didn't work
He is going to try
Avastin
with the Carbo Gemzar which he says will most likely work. This has me scared. I don't know what this means. Has anyone else had this problem? I am also nervous about
Avastin
. I know a lot of people here take it with Carbo Gemzar and I would appreciate any feedback.

Amsler grid reading
After 6 years of feeling let down I paid to see a top consultant and he immediately gave me an
Avastin
injection. He referred me to a local Moorfields clinic and there I received about 26 injections of Lucentis and Eyelea over about 3 years.

Wet AMD or Central Serous Retinopathy?
He did 2
Avastin
injections. The wavy lines I was seeing disappeared, but I think my central vision got more blurry and washed out then it had been before. After the
Avastin
injections the OCT scan showed no change, so he wants to try Lucentis injections.

‘It’s the season to be stable!
Hi all, I’ve had my last
Avastin
, my scan shows I’m stable and although it has gone up quite steeply, my CA125 has plateaued at 234. I’ve got another scan in January after which the consultant will be able to tell me if I’m fit enough to have a holiday in New Zealand.

Please help me girls to get out of this gloom
I knew in my heart that nothing was happening since I went on weekly carbo/
avastin
only but they won't give me Taxol or Taxotere again after what it did for me. Together with a load of stuff going on with other things I just needed a boost today and it hasn't come.

No surgery
After 3 cycles of chemo surgery was scheduled but after opening her up they said surgery was not feasible due to pattern of spread and would continue with chemo and
Avastin
. Anyone have a similar experience?

Smear test
Tried to have one today unsuccessfully as too painful to continue. The leaflet that came with the letter telling me a smear test was due was all about needing a smear when sexually active. I have not been in over 10 years due to being single and the endometriosis. I’m now seriously considering not trying

Stage 3c low grade serous cancer tumor pressing against my colon
I was on
avastin
but I was losing use of my arms, so they took me off of it and put me on the hormone pill they put breast cancer patients on. My ca125 was 99.9 but jumped 45 points in a month. I had a cat scan and my tumor is pressing against my colon.

Hello lovelies I have been on
Avastin
for 9 cycles following first line NED. So far so good .... BUT, my protein has been increasing and I ended up having my last cycle (3 weeks ago) cancelled.....after a 24 hour urine test again this time I’ve got to miss this next cycle too.

Happy, Positive to All
I am very lucky that chemo, surgery, chemo and now
Avastin
has worked for me. I shake my head and wonder ‘what have I done to be so lucky’. I had stage 4 overian cancer, with secondary in my lung. Guess you just never know your luck. Good luck to all of you.
