Avastin
Changed consultants and went on myocet and
Avastin
. (Caelyx out of production at time so similar drug. Anyway partial response. Stopped Myocet but continued with
Avastin
alone. This held most of the cancer except a nasty one in the pouch of Douglas.

Avastin

Avastin for mets of ovarian cancer.
I have had two treatments of
Avastin
(paid for privately) whilst my consultant at Christies in Manchester has tried to get this funded as it is off the NHS.

Wales Government Tolerates Unfair Access to Cancer Drug Bevacizumab
She has now started her course of
Avastin
. We’re all very happy for her and expect her to benefit from the additional remission and quality of life associated with the drug. A fourth member of our group lives in Monmouth.

Debulking surgery
They also aren't happy about using
avastin
, not yet anyway. Anyone on here with experience of this? We are really worried we are missing an opportunity. It doesn't make sense to keep having chemo while there is still stuff in there that could be removed.

almost to the finish line I hope
I am seriously looking into going on
Avastin
for a maintenance because I like the idea of taking away the blood supply to the cancer cells so they can not create any new blood vessels for making new tumors.

In support of Annie's effort for raising public awareness about unfair practices in cancer treatment and more
Thank you, Annie, for all your effort and time to contribute in making known that cancer patients in Wales are not able to use Bevacizumab (
Avastin
) for their treatment as easily as patients in other parts of the United Kingdom.

Human Rights Question re treatment for Ovarian Cancer
Treatment for this condition across the UK has become a post-code lottery and this became particularly evident with the
Avastin
debate where some women, even within the regions, had access to a drug that prolongs life. Is there not a human rights issue going on here? hmmm ....

Avastin no longer working, next steps?
Mum's oncologist has confirmed that
Avastin
is no longer working for her. Mum completed her first line treatment in March 2012 but recurrence was confirmed in August 2012 so she went onto Topotecan (plus
Avastin
) as her cancer was most likely platinum resistant.
