Avastin side effects?
At our appt. with the gyn-onc yesterday, we asked about
Avastin
(my mom has stage 3 ovarian or peritoneal cancer, they haven't said which!). The gyn-onc said he doesn't like using it because it can cause bowel perforations, but I haven't seen this mentioned in the literature.

Run out of chemo options. Clinical Trials now
Also, although very rare,
Avastin
can cause problems with the heart, so all in all my poor old body which has put up with so much treatment not to mention three major operations, is finally trying to tell us all something.

CT scan clear but why CA125 rising?
Following 2nd line chemo (Carbo, Gem &
Avastin
) CA125 already rising. Only got the CA125 down to 471 but nevertheless no evidence of disease on the scan. On
Avastin
only now. I feel pressure low in my abdomen and like I want to go to the loo all the time.

Annie Mulholland -The One Show feature on Ovarian Cancer
It follows the story of cancer patient Annie Mulholland who discovers 2½ years into treatment that she had not been given the same information as other patients in Wales about the cancer drug
Avastin
and that information given to her about access to clinical trials had been misleading.

just checking up on you all
This has been a long year, it is my first time staying on treatment as in
Avastin
every three weeks. Now I notice my nails are weaker, etc etc. I have scan in October and see the consultant a few days later.

Hello> CA125 up on Avastin
I've just had it confirmed that my CA125 has gone up by 200 to 593 after my first
Avastin
with no Carbo and Gem. This would suggest to me that
Avastin
doesn't work for me. This is probably because we couldn't get my CA125 down to normal so it really didn't stand such a chance.

side effects
The side effects of the 3 drugs, (carboplatin, taxol,
avastin
& lets not forget the Neulasta injection), seem to be hitting me hard this time round and I've only had the 1st session. so tired it is unbelievable.... anyone would think I had run a marathon, cleaned & vacuumed the house top to bottom (fat

TOTALLY PERPLEXED
I am currently on Carboplatin only, he said I would be better with Paclitaxel and then maybe
Avastin
. I chose one only to start as I did not feel well enough for the two. We have agreed to review after my third chemo and scan, and then maybe extend the chemo.

Avastin

IN CASE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO ANYONE.
Bevacizumab (
Avastin
) has demonstrated activity in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Response rates of 16% and 21% have been reported when it is used as a single agent and a rate of 24% was shown when it is used in conjunction with oral cyclophosphamide.

Rucaparib
I read with great interest your
avastin
journey and what will be my probable future. My wonderful oncologist has asked me to participate in trial 3 of rucaparib. Does anyone have anything they know about this.

3rd Line Treatment Report & Cold Cap
As you know back today in Day Ward for beginning of 3rd line with carboplatin, taxol and
avastin
and cold cap use. The drugs were the easy part and no sudden unexpected problems but the cold cap.
