Two ailments?!
She wants me to have a blood test to see if I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), although she suggested that it may be a side effect of
Avastin
. I wonder if any one else on the forum has had PMR as well as Ovarian Cancer and how it affected them.

PROTEIN IN URINE
Also, I am having a lot of foot pain, which I know is a side effect of the
Avastin
. I use the Epsom salts soak, which I think eases temporarily but have read about taking L glutamine for this pain.

It's back
The plan is to have a port put in early next week and next Thursday to start a combination of
Avastin
and Paclitaxel. I didn't have a port for my previous 27 chemos but my veins are fried. I am nervous about the port. How does it feel to have one in? How have people felt on
Avastin
?

Avastin
, any major issues? 2. My hair is just back and I love it! What effect did weekly Taxol have on your hair!

Picc line
I had
Avastin
on Tuesday. The nurse had trouble finding a vein, and managed on the third try. I have 9 more doses to go, and I am worried that they will want to put in a picc line. I know some people are happy with them, but it seems revolting to me. Can anyone tell me what it is actually like?

3rd recurrence with stage IIIc
I was diagnosed 12/11 with stage 3c serous. 6 rounds carbo/taxonomy, 12 rounds
Avastin
along with a debunking and hysterectomy. I also lost my colon to the ovarian cancer. I have an iliostomy. I did great on chemo. Lost my hair but survived.

Low grade serous carcinoma - what maintainence therapy
I'm trying to decide whether to continue with
avastin
as maintainence therapy. Apparently I need maintainence cos I'm stage 3c. The problem is that
Avastin
is not so effective if there is no residual disease and in low grade it may only extend remission.

Scan results
Today I am getting anxious as I get my scan results after 6 carbo/ taxol and 18
Avastin
. Been a long wait as the scan was 4 weeks ago but I have tried to put it to the back of my mind. I suppose it could go one of two ways and I am dreading a bad result but hoping for a period of watch and wait.

Avastin
My wife has low grade serous ovarian cancer, she was treated with Taxol, Carboplaxin and
Avastin
. We were told the
Avastin
had some serious side effects including bowel perforation. After her 3rd treatment, we had her admitted into the hospital with a bowel perforation.

reprieve!!
, (I was expecting the worst after several rises in CA125) I will be staying on
Avastin
every 3 weeks as before. Blood test and another visit to see oncologist in 3 weeks, just hope CA125 not rising to much.

Insurance again.
The others said its because I'm still having treatment -
avastin
. MIA insurance will cover me for £163. With my son and partner added it would be £453. They can get their own insurance. Only thing is, if I had to cancel, they couldn't cancel on their separate policy for me being ill.
