Chemo not working
They are offering her
Avastin
as her last chance to get her to surgery. However the potential side effects are scary. I haven't come across this scenario and wondered if anyone else had poor iniital chemo results and, if so, what was the next step? We could really do with some good news!

Strength in good memories
He was given
Avastin
in June which rescued the leg but gave him thrombosis and after that a rollercoaster of cortisones and other medication which made him depressed, irritable and changed his personality slightly.

EFFECTS OF TREATMENT
Just a quick question - have any of those undergoing treatment with
Avastin
experienced bite like skin eruptions that don't seem to heal (dry but similar in look to an ulcer), problems with hearing and excess mucus?

Lymph nodes
Have had 1st line chemo (carbo/taxol and
avastin
) and debulking surgery. Then I had 3 cycles of
avastin
; Due to CA125 rising rapidly I had a PET scan which shows cancer in the lymph nodes. This weeks
avastin
was cancelled and I am now waiting to start caelyx.

Avastin and Olaparib
I am obviously pleased that I don't need to take
Avastin
any more, but, at the same time, I feel anxious because there is no clear evidence as to whether it is the
Avastin
that is keeping me stable or the combination of both
Avastin
and Olaparib.

Avastin Sore Mouth
Hi there, my mum has had 2 infusions of
Avastin
and although seems to be tolerating it well she has developed a really sore mouth and eating is really painful. Can anyone recommend anything to help and does this settle down as the treatment progresses? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Update on Mum- recurrence is appendix cancer not OC, olaparib and avastin stopped.
My worry is now how they will treat this recurrence and also they have stopped her targeted therapy-
avastin
and olaparib. She was 3 sessions away from completing the treatment… what will this mean for a recurrence of OC now, I don’t know.

Cortisol test for Adrenals
Hi there I have had PMR since 2016 and have gradually decreased my prednisone to 4.5 mgs. I have been on that for about 2 months. Dr has agreed to order a 9 am cortisol test for me because I read on here it was easier/better than a synacthen test. I gather from Dr Google that I do not take my usual

Cramps above belly button and nausea after eating - currently on chemo
She is on chemo right now - carbo/taxol weekly and
avastin
added on one of the weeks. Has anyone gone through something similar while on chemo? I am scared that this means she is progressing while on chemo...which means it isn't working.

What happened to you after Avastin?
I'll be on
Avastin
as a maintenance treatment for one to two years. I'm just wondering what happened to others at the end of their maintenance? Thank you all. This site is so helpful and reassuring.❤️

PET scans
Following surgery it was 424 and then 400 but the ct scan was clear so I was started on
Avastin
alone.

Looking for advice as to whether Avastin is the right option for my mum
Following an appointment with her oncologist today she was told that
Avastin
was possibly an option and she has to make the decision whether to try it. As mums scans showed NED and CA125 is within normal range can anyone advise if
Avastin
is the best option.

Is this it?
Having already had Carbo/Taxol,
Avastin
and Carbo/Caelyx all he has left in his arsenal is weekly Taxol. Can you please tell me how you managed with this, and whether it was worthwhile.

AMD Injection Procedure
I have had injections of all the drugs used for AMD: Lucentis,
Avastin
and Eyelea. Of the three, my experience after more than 40 injections is that Eyelea was the least effective. At present I’m having Lucentis in the left eye and
Avastin
in the right eye, for reasons that only NICE can explain!
