Caelyx
) on Thursday having been told again that NICE do not sanction Avastin because of the cost, does anyone know if this is a post code lottery ' im having treatment at Hammersmith Hospital' or is it to do with peoples ages as I am now 69 although I have never been told

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.

Scan results mixed after 3 Caelyx doses
The oncologist plans on giving me another 3
Caelyx
then another scan which he says will give a better picture of what is happening (especially as
Caelyx
takes a bit longer than some treatments to make a difference) At least hes warned me that due to increased ascities my CA125 will probably have gone

AN UPDATE.....PLUS A GENERAL QUESTION OR 2
Then on Saturday in the post we received a copy letter from our Onc which basically said (but we hadnt known before) that the CA125 had fallen from 3200 (mid feb Marsden) when they stopped
Caelyx
after 3 sessions, to 2500 on March 1st.

Chemo 3 of round 2

Chemo 2 of round 2
So, all those lovely meals out I had on carbo/plat last year cannot continue with
Caelyx
. Pity, I enjoyed the lovely grub and took every opportunity to dine out. Other than that, I am now in my regime and life is good!

First Caelyx went smoothly
Although they warned me I could still get a reaction to
Caelyx
, it's a relief for number one to go ok. Lets hope it does a good job, and he decides to give me the 10 doses he plans on if the scan looks good, rather than the normal 6.

Tamoxifen
I'm on my 5th line of chemo, with Topotecan, having passed through taxol+ carbo (twice),
Caelyx
, then more taxol-carbo (weekly), and this has been going on for almost 4 years. It's now clear that my tumour is platinum resistant, and that is why I moved to Topotecan.

Ho hum. As my Onc said when I saw him last Monday, " Hello. You've been in the wars again, haven't you?"
I should be grateful for anyone's experience of
Caelyx
on the level that fore-warned is fore-armed. Meanhwile it is now the countdown to my elder daughter's wedding on June 29th and I therefore have no time whatsoever to be in the slightest bit ill.

CA125.......JUST KEEPS ON RISING!!!
SO.....after all that my questions are: 1: Has anyone had
Caelyx
and found the CA125 levels took awhile to drop. Reason for this is Onc obviously knew levels were rising so wonder why they continued and gave 3rd one. 2: Anyone had carbo with
caelyx
?....

SODIUM LEVELS & HORMONE TABLETS
Reason i ask is my wifes 4th line treatment (
Caelyx
) has had to stop after 3 sessions as CA125 and scans show continued growth, well a lot of continued growth.
