Check up time
Regarding the
Avastin
, treatment will terminate around that time also. Length of time two years will be up. The body needs a break after two years seems to be the policy. Regarding my naevity about the colonoscopy of course they tell you to have it and allay any fears I or my gp may have.

Tier 1 or 2 ill health retirement? What a stoic bunch we are.
I finished chemo nearly four months ago but am still on
avastin
. My consultant has offered to support me to finish - I am a community occupational therapist. How has anyone got on with ill heath retirement. Did you get tier 1 or 2?

Scaredy Cat
God knows what my insides are like after chemo combos etc and the
Avastin
. So hedid a check and said I had blood and I would have to have a colonoscopy. So he prescribed pessaries which have done the trick, no further irritation maybe a little a few days after

Recurrence
I asked about
Avastin
after 2nd line and my then Onc dismissed it without much discussion. I didn't realise at the time I could only have it after second line. My now onc looked into it last time but said I didn't qualify. Beginning to think some of my options are running out.

The Carousel Journey Again
Avastin
will be added in on cycle 2 or 3... Previously I was on carboplatin & taxol. For some reason, even though I had carbo without any allergic reaction - this time, I did. So it slowed the infusion down and was dosed with antihistamines & cardiac trace done.

Am I being over protective of myself?
Just another question.My CA 125 test is done every 3 weeks while on
Avastin
yet,my husband and I were informed that they don't really go by the levels of the CA125 while on
Avastin
as it can give false reading.

Does anyone know whether
avastin
can be taken in conjunction with this combination.
Avastin
has not been discussed as we live in Wales, however, I'm keen to know whether it is an option with this chemo as if possible we will look into paying privately. Thank you xx

Rebound effect
I did notice it worsened after the last
Avastin
. My last ct scan was good enough and lymph nodes are down but he said it was a red flag complaint so had to be followed up. Oh the bite could be a spider bite or a little cyst which isnt a major thing.

Finishing Avastin
Started with Carbo/Taxol plus
Avastin
. After 3 cycles told tumour (17cm on diagnosis) had shrunk sufficiently for de-bulking surgery which was done in Sept 2014. Frontline Carbo/Taxol finished November and
Avastin
is due to continue until September (18 cycles).

Retirement
I am doing okay at the moment while on
Avastin
and really I know I am lucky. I hope those of you having treatment at the moment have a long remission when finished. Looking forward to catching up with you during the summer months.
