What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of Carboplatin, and first of Taxol and
Avastin
last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it.

Treating OC as a "Chronic Disease" How to Cope..
Now I'll be starting Doxil and then next month Doxil/
Avastin
. My team told me this is a chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, etc.... I'm so scared. Can I be NED after treatment or will I live with hopes of "controlling" this disease??? THANK YOU. SCARED IN JACKSON, NJ USA

PIP & ESA
I was diagnosed in December last year with 3C and had surgery followed by 6 rounds of chemo with
Avastin
which ended in June. Now on
Avastin
maintenance until March. I work full-time and receive full salary but only now working 5 days/5 hours per day - this is my choice as long as I'm upto it.

Needing some positivity 😢
Am lucky enough to be on
avastin
for maintenance. There was residual in my right lung. i have been having increasing discomfort on this side and hoping it isn't significantly increasing again.

Avastin
I have had two sessions of
Avastin
added to Carbo/Taxol and wondered if anyone else had suffered side effects of loss of balance and "shaky" hands. I am moving around like a little old lady (which I suppose I am really!)

Last chemo or not!!!!!!
He said I could not have
avastin
with the carbo on its own so I would need to have paclitaxol today with the carbo and first
avastin
and then two more sessions of carbo/taxol/
avastin
. If I said no I couldn't have the
avastin
. It was something to do with the funding.

Good news
But then started rising again when I went on
avastin
then caylax. Back on taxol which I was on last year and it's working. Also had chemo yesterday too, was wondering if I would be having it due to the rash I have got but was told I could go ahead with it. Came away a happy bunny 👯 xx

last chemo
I saw my oncologist yesterday and was told that PET scan I had a week ago was clear. and my CA125 was down to 100. so no more chemo required, however I was to have
Avastin
every 3 weeks as maintenance. When I asked how long I was to be on
Avastin
, he said until or when the cancer return's.

Ascites
I've had carbo platol, gemzar carbo with
avastin
. Then doxil. My tummy has always been large since diagnosis but seems more uncomfortable lately. I have days when I can go all day not wanting to pass urine.

Travel insurance
I'm having
avastin
for 18 cycles after chemo so don't know if that is causing the price to be so high. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Starting chemo
She agreed to defer adding
avastin
and taxol until the next time, as I have a graduation ceremony on the 17th which I want to be reasonably healthy for. Feeling apprehensive!

That time again 😕
I'm going in for my bloods tomorrow ahead of my
Avastin
on Thursday and the tears have started 😢 I'm so worried about what my CA125 is going to be, it had slowly started raising and although my scan was clear and I have another one booked for Oct, doc keeping a very close eye on me I just feel shitty

But on reading my last letter it said, progression on
avastin
to stop and commerce on palliative caelyex. If you look at my profile you will see I am now on paclitaxel. What is upsetting me is seeing the palliative word, was told there was no cure but it is treatable.
