We got a second opinion and we were advised to go for 3 cycles of chemo ,surgery and 3 more cycles. We decided this

First line treatment and Avastin - advice please
Hi Ladies, I hope everybody is staying safe, and coping ok in these difficult times. I’m really aware that some people are having a desperately hard time with treatments being cancelled or postponed, and I hope that my post isn’t insensitive in anyway. I’m really hoping you won’t mind me picking your

Endometrial Cancer- 8 months remission-after 4 years trying
Hi friends, As we all worry and deal with covid-19 pandemic, I thought it would be good to share some success I have been having, mostly because I never expected this much success...even though I remain open to the idea that my cancer can recur. I am in remission about 8 months! My doc always said he

‘Fighting’ for an injection
On Wednesday my eye clinic phoned me, at first I thought it was to confirm my eye injection appointment the next day but instead it was a lady saying my consultant says I don’t need an injection for 4 months. So I made my case. I am in my very early 50’s I have DMO not AMD I only have 1 useable eye now

What I am doing to prevent possible Corona virus infection and complications.
I have been taking supplements for the last 10 years especially Vitamin C. Presently, I am taking 8000 mg spread out throughout the day. It is criminal that the allopathic community is ignoring the benefits of this supplement while people are dying needlessly. Don't take my word for it but listen to

Liver enzymes super high
Hello fellow warriors, I have completed only 1 cycle of chemo for first reoccurrence. I am on Carbo, Gemzar, and Avastin. I could not start my second cycle due to low wbc’s. So I had two weeks off of chemo. In that time my liver enzymes ate through the roof. They went from 57 to 457 in that time

Lymph Node inflammation
Hi Ladies, I'm a bit concerned about the latest reports of my mom's tests. She's a stage 3 CA ovary patient. She got treated 3 years back and it again recurred and this time on colon. She's gone through the treatment and currently on avastin drug . All reports are normal .. her CA 125 is back to 6.5.

Avastin, Metformin and a Pleurodesis-
I have found much worthwhile information from the experiences on this site. I thought it may help someone else in the future to share my treatment changes in the past month- perhaps someone else may benefit from the information. I am 45 years old. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Clear Cell in May

Back to my oncologist this afternoon to hear the result of my scan - anyone on weekly taxol?
Just got home yesterday from doing my scan in time for my oncologist to call telling me he was going to bring forward my scan to which I informed him I had just had it. Well apart from the disorganization, he wanted to know if I had heard from London - to which I had to reply no (will be calling them

Side-effects
