How long off Olaporib before starting Carbo/Caelyx for a recurrence?
I have just got off the phone to my oncologist who, after having put me on 8 weekly scans for a recurrence for a few months now, has said its time to come off my
Avastin
/Olaporib combination of maintenance and onto Carbo/Caelyx. Not great to hear, but I've known its coming sometime.

Mets to the lung
Having battled through three lines of chemo,
Avastin
and a parp, I have now discovered that the cancer has progressed to my lungs.I see my oncologist next week, and don't know if he will have any suggestions, but what I am looking for from you ladies is how to deal with the breathlessness.

Wishing all the forum ladies and support workers a restful and peaceful Christmas and New Year.
Hi All, I had my 12th round of
Avastin
last week and have been struggling with generalised aching and joint discomfort. On reflection this has probably been getting worse since round 10. I am also on Olaparib which I know causes similar side effects.

My sister had a full debulking in July along with chemo after and is now on maintenance with an Oliparb drug and
Avastin
infusions every 3 weeks. She had a PET and CT scan after her chemo was completed and they were both clear. She’s feeling great and her CA125 has been at 9 for quite some time.

allergic to Caeylx, what now?
I then had 10
Avastin
infusions before it stopped working. Today was my first chemo with Carbo along with Caelyx and I had an allergic reaction to the caeylx. I’m so upset and worried. I see my oncologist on the 19th to discuss what’s next.

Ovarian Cancer spread to spine? Does anyone have any experience with this (PetCT scan pic included)
Her PetCT results needed to be checked by doctor council before they could give her
Avastin
and they wrote they suspect metastasis on spine and just came home DEVASTATED and crying.. Her onco sent her to some kind of bone or spine scan I forgot how its called so that is our next step next week.

Has anyone taken Avastin?
They think the
Avastin
treatment will reduce the brain swelling. (BTW
Avastin
does not work on breast cancer cells and is not the point of the treatment.) Anyone with a similar experience? Thanks so much! Kay

Ovestin and ivf?
Ok, so I had an ectopic from ivf which resulted in removal of part of one of my ovaries. I have been prescribed with Ovestin (estrogen cream) as a result as I am very dry and itchy down below. I know I need to stop this before my next transfer but want to take it until the latest possible date before

Today is a milestone for me. 5 years ago today I had my last round of chemo-
Avastin
continued until January 2019. As I was diagnosed stage 4b I am well aware just how lucky I am. No recurrence so far and I am feeling positive that my CA125 blood test (tomorrow) will remain below 10.

Best Wishes to All :)
Today was my last treatment of
Avastin
for the year, resume again in January. I'm also restarting Olaparib today which has been reduced for the 3rd time as its messing with my Haemoglobin levels! Anyway, enough about me!

It's back!
I finished
Avastin
(after pac/carbo/surgery) in Dec 21 and I have just been told that the cancer has returned. I will be starting caelyx/carbo .I'm a bit terrified this time I think it's going to be rough I tolerated carbo/Pac well.I'm feeling a bit defeated by it all.

Abdominal Hysterectomy
However there was still residual tumor seen on CT scan and I have been booked to have abdominal hysterectomy on 30th November followed by 2 more chemotherapy,
avastin
and parp inhibitors. I wanted to ask if anyone had hysterectomy and how was the recovery?

Advice please re: Niraparib (Zejula) side effects (i.e. bloating, nausea & vomitting & stomach pains?)
I was offered
Avastin
/ Bevacizumab last year, but they won't prescribe it again for recurrences on NHS. Does anyone know if there are any other drug trials / treatments available.

Need a bit of advice on treatments going forward.. avastin vs niraparib?
If i have
avastin
and then reoccur after 6months at the end i can have more chemo then niraparib but if i have niraparib and reoccur i can never have
avastin
but saying this it all depends on how if and when i reoccur! 🤯🤷♀️lost!! I dont even want to think this far ahead lol.
