Experiences with

Bevacizumab

Hi all I got diagnosed with stage 4b ovarian cancer in May 2023, ive had 6 rounds od carboplatin,paxitaxol and bevacizumab, then I had 15 bevacizumab with olaparib oral tablets daily, I have been suffering terribly with joint pain especially my shoulders shoulder blades sometimes it's that bad I can't

Hello, Just wondering if anyone here has been given bevacizumab beyond the 18 cycles after first line treatment? Thank you!

Then torture of 3 weekly bevacizumab for 9 months. Along with lynpraza (ongoing). Mentioned a pain lower left recently, Dr pressed there and said nice and soft, nothing to worry about. But...if there was something, maybe 5mm, would it be felt ????

Moving to doxil/bevacizumab in a wk. Definitely been a rough journey. Looking to learn from others and see if I can find things that help me. Thanks

I had 2 drains for ascites before my first treatment of Bevacizumab, followed by Paclitaxel and then Carboplatin. At the end of the bag of Paclitaxel (3 hours) I had an allergic reaction. The oncologist reduced my 2nd cycle to 75% and gave me steroids for 5 days before.

They want me to do weekly taxol and Bevacizumab. However, after chatting they’ve basically said that I’ve got about 12/18 months with or without the treatment. I have directly asked about time and quality and quantity.

hiya everyone I’m starting my 1st chemo tomorrow having carboplatin Paclitaxel and bevacizumab feeling very nervous. I had surgery and was told I had 3b MLA of the ovary can anyone give me advice what is is best to take with me and thing o help after chem thanks.

I had five line of carboplatin, Bevacizumab, zentabun. Noting helps. I will try 3-4 more and if it’s not change I will stop everything. I got very high doses ox chemo and I am so sick. please if someone has success with pleural effusion let me now to deceid to stop or continue.

Following this, she received 6 rounds of Doxorubicin + Bevacizumab, which kept her stable. However, she still has many carcinomatosis nodes in her abdominal area, and we are worried that this stabilization won't last long.

I've been told all along that I will continue with Bevacizumab as a maintenance treatment (I've had 3 rounds of it alongside chemo, 2 before the surgery and 1 after). I caught COVID towards the end of treatment which has delayed getting started on maintenance.

This was mentioned by my oncologist as an option for second line treatment. I’ve heard that it’s super expensive, but in searching for info’ it seems that some are finding it less expensive than it was. Does anybody have any experience of self funding avastin?

I was diagnosed with HGSOC 3c in December 23, started chemo (paclitaxel , carboplatin & Bevacizumab) in Jan 24. Debulking surgery April 24. Two more chemo cycles post op, (NED) then onto Bev as maintenance, which I’m due to finish in July.

Lytenava (bevacizumab gamma), is the first licensed version of Avastin for wet age-related macular degeneration. The treatment was approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for use in the NHS last year.

Treatment with atezolizumab, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin (ABCP) was significantly more effective than pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin https://dailynews.ascopubs.org/do/atezolizumab-bevacizumab-and-chemotherapy-improves-pfs-egfr---alk--mutated-nsclc-after?

Chemo re-started received PLD + Bevacizumab till 03/05/2023. No improvement, CA125 rose from 44 to 85. Changed treatment to (Gemcitabine ( 1gm/m2)D1, D8 and Carboplatin AUC-5 -(150 mg). CA125 to 45.4 in Aug 2023.

So I am now going to have weekly sessions, with a third of one of the chemo drugs plus Bevacizumab, and the other chemo drug will be every 3 weeks. I can't remember which of the chemo drugs is going to be weekly, it was hard to take it all in, and the names were new to me!

Debulking surgery, then 6 cycles of taxol and Carboplatin - the latter 3 with bevacizumab. Followed by 18 months of Olaparib which then stopped working late last year.

I had my 1st chemo 2 Jan (carboplatin paclitaxel and bevacizumab) 8 hour infusion. I didn't know how I would react and although I had many symptoms, it was manageable.

This person will shortly be commencing 18 cycles of bevacizumab/ Avastin and is seeking to hear from people who have experienced this treatment please. They would like to know how people have felt on this treatment, what side effects people had and how it compared with chemotherapy.

Carboplatin and taxol Bevacizumab Carboplatin and Ganetespib (Eudarian experimental protocol) Niraparib Yondelis and Caelyx (Tramant protocol) yondelis Carboplatin (discontinued due to allergies and resistance to platinum) Weekly Taxol Weekly Gemcitabine Letrozole I wish there were more studies and
