Because I am on
Avastin
I can only have a low dose as anything more would interfere with the
Avastin
hence the 6 months. He still doesn't know why my CA125 went up, but he is just going to monitor it with my blood tests. So apart from being a pin cushion, yay all ok!

Feeling low -Is it the time of year??
Good news is that I have only 1 more left in January and then
Avastin
for a further 12 months during which time CA125 will be monitored. I wish all you lovely ladies best wishes for the Season and New Year of 2017! Juliet

Thankyou
I had a hysterectomy, chemo and am now on
Avastin
. A year on, I am still here getting on with it, and you have all been here with me, offering advice and comfort when I felt low, and had no one to talk to. ( I live alone ) and often making me laugh with some light hearted or ridiculous tale!

I was enjoying my last day in New York and haven't felt particularly well with
Avastin
affecting my joints and throat. I passed a hairdressers and said to my partner.....I'm going in and going to get my hair cut and coloured.

Secondline treatment with Avastin/Doxil
I'm just starting secondline treatment consisting of
Avastin
/Doxil for 6 rounds. I will have
Avastin
/Doxil on day 1 and
Avastin
on day 15 for 6 months. I'm curious at what point the PPE might rear it's head.

Stage IV cancer recurrence
I will be starting Cisplatin and Gemzar along with the
avastin
that have been on. Is this just a waste time of time ? Do I really have a chance ? Has anyone Ben on these drugs? Is it as bad as taxol and carboplasin? Is there a chance for survival?

Seonoma/cysts after surgery. What has been your experience?
I have had chemo, surgery and
Avastin
and emerged as NED. My last CA125 in October was 11. However my CT scan revealed a large fluid filled cyst which has increased since surgery and I was summoned back to the hospital to have it aspirated. The fluid was like a fine white wine in colour.

Bitter or not
Hi Ladies I really have been feeling a bit down over the last week and it does come and go but this time seems moreso (had
Avastin
a week ago No. 14).

What does stable actually mean?
Mom has undergone 8 cycles of chemotherapy and is having
Avastin
every three weeks. She's very up and down, which is very upsetting to us (selfish on our behalf I know).

Avastin and clinical trial
I have had significant painful neuropathy in my feet since I finished the chemo portion of my clinical trial (icon8b) and have been on the
avastin
alone. I had a short break to see if that would help. It did for a little while.

Scared about chemo effects, and the future...
I've just finished 8 sessions of chemo, and had weekly taxol, with 3 rounds of carboplatin, and 2 of
avastin
. I'm due to have my surgery the 2nd week of January and then will restart another round of chemo.

Flu jab.
Yesterday I had my fourth cycle of chemo and
avastin
. I was advised by the chemo nurse to get a flu jab. I phoned my doctors surgery this morning and they said they're so sorry but I'm not eligible. I need to get it done at a chemists. It's not the money I'm bothered about but the principle.

Daily behaviour following debulking surgery
I have done a few walks (just around the house, or the garden so that I'm being a little bit active...) and then I find I get a heavy tiredness come over me, similar to when I have all 3 drugs on chemo (carboplatin, taxol and
avastin
) and so I've ended up laying on the sofa again...where I've stayed,

Avastin and sinus problems?
Have any of you had problems like this after being on the
Avastin
? This is so miserable and I was just starting to feel a bit more like myself. Thank you for any responses.

Thoughts On Avastin
Having read very many of your posts over the last months I noticed how many of you are receiving
Avastin
. I raised the subject at my review yesterday and am meeting with the cons next week to discuss in detail. It is not straightforward as it is not generally available where I live.

High grade serous adencarcinoma
Last week I saw my doctor and he said I am in complete remission but will still need the three more chemos and most of next year on
avastin
. I was feeling quite happy about this.

Feeling positive.
. 👍🏻 I still need my three mop up chemos and a year on
avastin
but he said I'm in complete remission. Can hardly believe it. Just got to make sure the little gremlin doesn't rear its ugly head again. Xxxx

Make the days count....
I continued on
Avastin
but in mid Oct'16 CA125 started to rise. It was 37 on 5th Sept which was actually my birthday! On 2nd Nov 190, I don't know what it is now. Recent CT scan is still NED but oncologist wanted to start chemo again.

UTI's
Has anyone else had recurrent urine infections while on
Avastin
? These start (every time) 2 days after my treatment, and the GP is not going to keep giving me antibiotics.

UTI's
This is just 12 days after the last UTI, and I haven't even had the
Avastin
yet. That is not til next Friday. Obviously I will talk to the onc today, as I know
Avastin
can effect the kidneys. Do you think it could have this effect on the bladder too?
