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??

Nosey trouble
She agrees this hoarsey voice and sinus is down to
Avastin
making my bad sinuses worse. So happy with that. I had read up the side effects from the manufacturer Roche and their side effects reflected mine. Obviously the ent has consulted with the oncology team.

re Vasculitis
I am wondering if this is all connected to
Avastin
. If not I am worried that if the blood tests are positive for what she mentioned will my oncologist stop the
Avastin
. Any information would be appreciated.

Disappointed
I had my 4th
Avastin
IV last week and a CT scan last Thursday. Previously my CA 125 level had been rising on
Avastin
and apparently it has risen again and is around 1,600.

Paclitaxel
So only
Avastin
and Carbo was given again. Are there any alternatives to Paclitaxel? Should we be worried that she is only getting half the chemo drugs that are a standard treatment?. I did a little research lastnight and found nab-paclitaxel.

Eyes etc.
As you know I am on long term
Avastin
and have finished 3rd line chemo (carbo/taxol/
avastin
). The side effects of the treatment and of course the disease are now showing in the side effects and just wondered in anyone has experienced the same.

My sinuses are playing up big time though and on more antibiotics, my latest flare was twenty four hours after
Avastin
and my gp has prescribed more antibiotics. He says it could be
Avastin
plus low immune system. But can live with this.

Check up time once more
Getting back to the sinus issues, the gynae nurse and the reg were surprised that it would be connected with the
Avastin
. Then the ent department consider the bone thinning as a side effect of the said drug so who do I believe. I return to ent consultant in Feb.

Apologies
I wrote that
Avastin
was roughly £25000 for a 10 month course which is £1.56 for every year of life a 50 year old woman has lived. It is actually £1.36. Not much really, is it?

Ringing ears
I have just completed chemo number 8 (of 9) of carboplatin and taxol, with this one including
Avastin
. Has anyone else suffered with ringing ears?
