Avastin v Trial
My mum has been on the icon 8b trial having carbo with weekly taxol ( taxol at a reduced dose) After surgery it was suggested that she should go onto
Avastin
as there is cancer still there.

Turmeric
Hi everyone Further to my post re joint pain when on
Avastin
, I was all geared up to start intensive turmeric consumption, when another of the ladies on this forum told me that a pharmacist had advised her that turmeric and
Avastin
should not be taken together. Has anyone else heard this?

Hello everyone - introducing me!
I'm on weekly chemo - part of the ICON8B trial, which is messing up my veins - and having Carboplatin, Taxol and Bevacizumab (
Avastin
). Two cycles in, lots more treatment to come. Coping well so far. Hoping the tumour will be reduced enough by end of June to enable the operation.

Ca125 risen a little.
Had my
avastin
today and results of blood test for CA125 was 29. I know this is within normal range but it was 20 last time. I feel worried but they said there's no need atall to worry. What if next time it's gone over 35.? Would they be concerned or does it have to go up considerably ?

Giving up
I am beginning to think that my cancer might be returning, after 6 goes of carbo/taxol and 8 doses of
Avastin
. I was NED in January, and had begun to feel better generally, but in the past fortnight I have had persistent pain in my right groin, and increasing tiredness. I am 70 next Monday.

CA125 rising
My CA125 was over 9000 at that point and rose to over 11000 as I started chemo (weekly paclitaxel and 3 weekly
avastin
and carboplatin). I had surgery in January 2017 and have had 7 weeks more chemo since.

Taxol/Avastin side effects?
I am receiving Taxol and
Avastin
on a weekly basis with
Avastin
happening on every other week. I have a big blister on each foot between the pads. I never had this with Carboplatin/Taxol. I also feel like my lips are tingly. Have any of you had these effects and what did you do for the blisters?

Joint Pain
I have had twelve
Avastin

Avastin Gave Me Kidney Damage/Doxil Didn't Work
I recurred and was put on monthly doses of
Avastin
and Doxil. The
Avastin
has given me a terrible time. I had to stop after three full doses. I now have high blood pressure and kidney damage from the
Avastin
. My kidney levels keep rising although I have been off the
Avastin
for two months.

Eylea injection pain.
Went through 18 injections of
Avastin
over 4 years, now on my 5th Eylea. Over all this time, warping distortions have improved greatly, dark grey spots obscuring central 25% of vision have not improved but have not gotten any worse.

Avastin.
Had my
avastin
today. Nearly didn't have it as I had protein in my urine (again) but they went ahead with it. Saw the doctor and he was saying if I get 6 months in complete remission , I'm currently 2 then it's better for me as will mean I'm platinum sensitive. If not I'm platinum resistant.

Foot Pain
I have had very few side effects on
Avastin
, and I know it sounds silly, but I am loathe to say much to my oncologist incase he takes me off it, as it seems to be working. Could I be doing myself permanent damage do you think, or will it improve once I stop taking the
Avastin
?

Reaching Out
Was put on
Avastin
but by May 2016 the beast was back so no more
Avastin
. I then had Carbo/Gem finishing towards the end of September last year but the results weren't that great, there was some shrinkage but not as much and the lymph nodes were growing.

Feeling Wobbly
Since finishing
Avastin
in February I've been really enjoying every minute- went to Spain to see my daughter (who is studying there) did loads of things I thought I would never get to do..hurrah! But this week my mood has suddenly tanked..I'm losing my temper, feeling upset, not sleeping...why?

Recurrence!
They will try to shrink the tumors with carbo, gemzar and
avastin
as they say surgery is not the best choice this time around. I have had this combo before with success so my fingers are crossed. I know I can do this again but am having a little problem with thinking positive this time.
