Injections for Macular Degeneration
I had 3 injections of
Avastin
and did well. I wanted to switch to Eyelea and finally convinced a new Retina Specialist to inject me last week. I am now beginning to feel like my eye is not doing as well as before. Is there really a difference in results?

The chemo didn’t work as I got allergic to taxol and resistant to carboplatin Then was given navoaclutaxol weekly with
avastin
every two weeks. Finished six cycles of chemo and was on maintenance dose of
avastin
. Markers are normal but the scan done yesterday shows 2 lymph nodes slightly swollen.

Stable!
I’m to complete my
Avastin
(only two to go), have another scan in January to see how things are and then tackle any progression then. Depending upon the scan and CA125 results, I’m considering having a break from any medication to allow my body to shake off the chemicals ready for the next lot.

Some news that has rocked my boat a little today.
The pain is caused by the
avastin
, according to today's on duty oncologist.

Second line treatment - advice please!
I’ve got two treatments of
Avastin
out of eighteen left to go, but my CA125 has gone up from 33 to 193 in the last few weeks. I’ve had one scan which came back as ‘stable’ and I’m having the results of another scan on Wednesday.

Update to confused and in pain
She also said that they do not know how many doses of
Avastin
are needed to improve survival chances and that I should feel pleased that I managed 11.

Confused and in pain. Can anyone help?
I hope someone can give me some advice.I have had first line chemo (taxol and carboplatin) and I have had 11 of my 18
avastin
infusions and am delighted that my Ca125 has dropped to 23 from over 11 000 at the start.

Avastin and CA125
Hi, I’m on
Avastin
Maintenance and noted that my CA125 has gone from 330 to 450. Should I be concerned or are there other reasons for the count to go up?

I'm Over in the Infusion Room, With Everyone Else
My current cocktail is carboplatin/Alimta/
Avastin
. I’ve left the world of targeted treatment behind.

Anyone Here Has Angioid Streaks?
I then got a second opinion one week ago and the RS put me on
Avastin
right away due to CNV in left eye. I’m confused and worried of what will come next. I’m only 33 and have my whole life ahead a me. The information on the internet doesn’t really help me much.

Bleuggggh!
Morning all, I’m off to see my consultant today to find out how much higher my CA125 has gone, but am on the second day of another migraine so I feel ghastly - I’m wondering whether to stop the
Avastin
as I’m concerned that it may be contributing to the migraine. Any thoughts? Ali x

Sore mouth tip!
I’ve been troubled with a sore mouth and tongue since I started chemo and
Avastin
and have found cleaning my teeth really unpleasant. Quite by chance I discovered that children’s toothpaste is much less minty and therefore not as painful.

Apologies if anyone has posted about this
Has anyone seen the article in the paper today about big pharma Novartis and Bayer threatening to sue the NHS because the cancer drug
Avastin
has been found to help with Macular Degeneration ? The
Avastin
costs £12 per injection . The other two £742 and £816 per dose . Shocking !

Avastin and itching
Avastin
was added for cycles 4-6 and Paxlitaxel removed for cycles 5 & 6 due to Neuropathy. Just wondering if anyone's experienced itchiness with
Avastin
. We think it's the
Avastin
as the itchiness only started during cycles 5 & 6.
