Told last week that OC has returned and going to be put on
Avastin
when I recover from surgery and caelyx (liposomal). Finished 8 sessions of carbo/taxol last year. Anything I should watch out for? Worried... Sorry Kittie you are not well but you sound like you know how to turn it around.

I also saw my onc and he is starting me on
avastin
for 18 sessions. I know I should be pleased I have been offered it, but feel worried about the side effects, what should I expect??

Avastin
So, I'd be grateful if one of the lovely ladies in this group could explain what do many women have
Avastin
for weeks and weeks following surgery.

Avastin
me on
avastin
as she didn't see the benefits of it for me, I said I would go with what ever she thought best, Then I get a call from my cns at 6.30 this evening to say the oncologist has decided I will be given
avastin
, don't understand why a few days before she has had a change of heart.

Confused about Avastin
I am reading here about
Avastin
and my doctor has never mentioned taking it. I generally don't receive any treatment and I am feeling that my cancer is slowly coming back. Should I ask and insist on
Avastin
, what's your opinion? I wish you all the best. Tamara

Avastin
and though I had aches and pains ,I was ok because,I thought it was doing me good

Last one...
😊 My next chapter is 12 cycles of
Avastin
and a CT scan at the end of it. My CA125 before surgery was 700 and is now 5...I'm assured all drugs are and have worked... I would like the CT but I'm told this stresses too many patients and best to wait.

Avastin and aching all over!
Hi all,
Avastin
was introduced into my last 3 carbo/taxol chemo session at the end of 2015 and since January I have just had infusions of
avastin
every three weeks.

ct scan
This leaves me with queries as to why
Avastin
works better for some and not for others? I was loathe to ask that question today. As regards the hip pain its wear and tear and inflammation so I will have to check in with my gp about this at some stage. So back for review in August.

Cold/hay fever symptoms and Avastin?
I'm posting to ask if anyone taking
Avastin
had experienced runny nose, and croaky throat on
Avastin
. I had my first dose with no 5 chemo, and didn't get any effects. The second dose was with my final (hurray) chemo no 6.

Update on Olaparib
Side effects are still a hindrance to living a normal life.Im now fighting a bad chest infection,appetite is reduced,occasionally feeling nausea, severe sweats,low red cell count, chronic fatigue and lethargy .Olaparib is not a cure,it's used in the same way as
Avastin
, and lengthens the time from one

Weekly Taxol not working anymore, what other options?
I guess I will finish the 5th cycle and probably the 6th, but wondering what options you were proposed for those of you who had Taxol/Carboplatin (+ a few cycles of
Avastin
), Caelyx/Carbo, tablets (cannot remember the name, did not work at all) and weekly Taxol?
