Bevacizumab v Niraparib
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.

Is it possible to get back to Platinum based chemo?
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.

Anybody self funding Bevacizumab/Avastin treatment?
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?

Good news from the ATTLAS trial for patients with EGFR mutations and ALK translocations.
Treatment with atezolizumab,
bevacizumab
, paclitaxel, and carboplatin (ABCP) was significantly more effective than pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin https://dailynews.ascopubs.org/do/atezolizumab-

Has anyone experience of weekly rather than 3 weekly chemo sessions?
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!

Clinical trials
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.

Coping with chemo side effects
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.

Didn’t make it to trial B96 - second line chemotherapy- paclitaxol
I was lined up for a trial B96 for platinum resistant recurrent which included paclitaxol;
Bevacizumab
and pembrolizumab/placebo BUT I became so ill that I had to start on chemo immediately hence didn’t make it into the trial. I had 9 nights in Addenbrookes getting better.

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.

Reaction to Chemo Drug
I suffered an immediate severe reaction to chemo drug Paclitaxel and had to have an antidote administered in order to recover.The other2 drugs were ok(Carboplatin &
Bevacizumab
). I was told that some ladies have this reaction but when they take this drug a 2nd time they have no problem.

outcome
My husband has just had his second infusion of Atezolizumab/
Bevacizumab
, and is feeling awful. The initial infusion caused fatigue and some sickness but he is now experiencing chills, a bad cough, sickness, lack of appetite. He feels if this reaction is repeated in future infusions he will stop.

New here
This was successful and in Feb 2021 my scan showed NED, was then put on a maintenance drug
Bevacizumab
and will have my last one on the 16th Feb 2022. I'm also non BRAC. I'm feeling a little anxious now as not sure if it is the
bevacizumab
keeping the cancer from returning.
