Colostomy
Since then, have undergone 6 cycles of chemo (
avastin
, Carboplatin, taxol). Now, am anticipating for surgery on Feb 27 ( in 3 weeks). My surgery told me there’s a 50/50 chance I will need colostomy ( tumor pressing on my rectum).

I'm starting on
avastin
until October next year, with blood test every three months. My oncologist is saying that the blood tests and CT scans will stop at the end of the
avastin
and they won't carry out regular follow up investigations, which is making scared.

Blurr/Foggy Vision after 3rd Avastin Injection.
(May we all get well soon) I'm diagnosed Serous ped, doctor advised me three
avastin
shots (each) in my eye. I have taken two injections in my right eye and never felt the blurness for more than few hours.

3C Chemo Combo
She’s having a combination of Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and
Avastin
as they have assessed that she’s relatively fit. I was wondering if anyone’s had this combination? From what I’ve read it looks intense with quite brutal side effects.

Summer 2022
Avastin
failed. I’m now on Niraparib, my CA125 after 2 months is stable at 18, I’m feeling like me again after two years! My bloods are the best they’ve ever been and I don’t have any side effects so far!

Living with cancer
My latest CT scan shows stability but peritoneal cancer in the pelvis and cancer under my chest still remains and I am only on
Avastin
now which is keeping it stable but not killing the cancer.

Where do I go from here?
Straight on to
Avastin
plus Olaparib (HRD negative). No more cancer in lymph nodes but slight progression in main abdominal tumour. 5 rounds of Carboplatin before progression. 2 rounds of Caelyx. Progression of size of tumour more than 20% so told Caelyx isn’t working.

Referral from Wales to England - any experience?
Just had CT scan following 3rd cycle of carboplatin/paclitaxol and 2nd of
Avastin
. CA125 has reduced from 374 pre-chemo to 26 post 2nd cycle which I'm hoping is a positive sign!

Should I discontinue Tecentriq/Avastin infusion therapy?
Had one infusion, side effect relentless diarrhea, then no bowel movement for 5 days, with stomach pain that had me near suicidal!Drank 16oz of hot peppermint ginger tea, incontinent for 2 days. Finally stabilized after 7th level of hell. Can't see risking another try.

Terrible Symptoms from Caelyx
Declared NED in August 2022, immediately started
Avastin
, but blood tests in January showed a slow but steady rise in her CA125. Turns out it was a small recurrence in the peritoneum, so she was immediately put on a course of six Caelyx treatments — we're curently half way through.

Looking to hear personal experiences of bevacizumab/ Avastin
This person will shortly be commencing 18 cycles of bevacizumab/
Avastin
and is seeking to hear from people who have experienced this treatment please. They would like to know how people have felt on this treatment, what side effects people had and how it compared with chemotherapy.

Gemzar was tough
I spent many years on
Avastin
since 2008 diagnosis. When I came out of remission from it. I was put on carbo/Gemzar. I had a bad reaction to the Carbo, so I had 10 treatments of Gemzar. I finally had to ask Onco to stop because I was losing my quality of life.

Oncologist gives me 6 months to a year more of life
Onco suggested I look into combo of
Avastin
+ Tecentriq, which present an array of side effects as a trade off to slowing down the liver degradation. Does anyone have experience with this combination of drugs?

waterproof PICC covers
I still have a PICC line in for my regular
Avastin
and would like a completely waterproof cover for it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

self-funded Avastin at the Christie
I am trying to gather reliable info on what it would cost to pay for a course of
Avastin
. I have run a search on here and other UK forums and the broad consensus is around £20, 000 but there was another recent thread on here where £46,000 was mentioned.
