Hallelujah
So the result shows the
Avastin
is still working effectively and our oncologist is happy with me. So back to him in August unless I am in trouble meantime. I will never wait as long again for a result, I will ring the liason nurse. Well we learn from our mistakes.

Nosebleeds
Has anybody been having frequent and unexplained nose bleeds while on
Avastin
, Carbo, Gem combination. I have had to be referred to ENT which I could certainly have done without!!

Ibuprofen whilst on Avastin?
Was interested in the post by DRDU discussing Ibuprofen and am wondering if anyone knows if it is safe, or not, to take ibuprofen whilst on
Avastin
?? I think one reply to her post suggested that it may not be advisable. Does anyone have any knowledge about this please?

getting better
Just wanted to update you all on my new 'chemo'/
avastin
free life. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made and do accept it is one that not many of you will make.

Told 'no cure' after first recurrence.
Have been offered trial with
Avastin
, but onc admits she would not be pushing for chemo just yet as I feel pretty fit and healthy.

SCAN
I am due for
Avastin
tomorrow week so if that is not changed in the meantime, I should be okay. Seeing the oncologist at the end of April, a long wait but they said they would contact me if there was a reason to meantime.

Avastin, again
She went to the
Avastin
website and is terrified of the possible side effects and since she has NED and is starting to feel better every day, wonders if she really needs the
Avastin
or if she should just wait until "if and when" the cancer recurs.

another good news day
Was in yesterday for usual
Avastin
and first Scan since I completed full chemo last Dec. Got a call from Hospital yesterday afternoon to tell my that there is no change - which is all I ask for. My wonderfyl Onc was on holidays, so will chat more with him in 3 weeks time.

re OC AWARENESS
So in the meantime I have scan on Thursday with treatment so I drink the lovely drink while hooked to the infusion of
Avastin
. Apparently this is a new system in the hospital so that Vhi will cover the lot.

WBC still low 6 months after chemo is over...
Hi ladies, I was on Carboplatin, Taxol (weekly) and still on
Avastin
at the moment. It has been 6 months since chemo is over but in my recent blood tests my white blood cell count, including neutrophil, is still quite low.

Cancer returned
I have been in remission since July 2009 after chemo and
avastin
clinical trial. The cancer has returned and is in my lymph nodes. Ca125 had been increasing so oncologist sent me for a ct scan.

CA 125 risen on avastin
I have been booked in for a scan as my CA125 is now up to 169 so I assume I won't be on
Avastin
after the results. Bit disappointed as I had hoped to have my quota , only had 11.

Hair still falling out after carboplatin and Gemcitabine
After my second line chemo regime of carboplatin and Gemcitabine with
Avastin
ongoing I am still experiencing hair loss nearly two months after finishing the chemo. Is this normal??
