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
Good morning dear ladies, I have been very down these days, mostly because of the side-effects Avastin has given me - such terrible fatigue (wanting to sleep all day and every day) - have never felt so tired in my life and on top of this I have had terrible backache, along with achy muscles, occasional

Hello Ladies, I am on my 8th infusion of Avastin and I have not managed to figure out how to manage the joint pain. Currently taking Naproxen and Massaging magnesium oil into my joints/muscles. My shoulders, hips and lower back in particular are giving me the most trouble. I constantly feel like

Stoma? I’d advise you to wear abdominal support garments from the get go.
Hi all, Back in June 2019 I came out of surgery with a stoma, which I was not expecting. I was very careful to listen to and take the advice about abdominal surgery; no heavy lifting or even lifting a kettle half full etc. About a month and a half ago I noticed my abdomen was sticking out more than

Avastin
I am in the UK and have my final 18 avastin dose soon. Has anyone had more than 18 treatments. It has worked well for me and I don't want to stop treatment of this marvellous drug but unfortunately I understand this is maximum number.

After Avastin.
Morning lovely ladies x My Avastin treatment will ending in May, having had 22 cycles following surgery and chemotherapy. I can’t help wondering what happens after? Is it just of case of wait and see? I was stage 4b when diagnosed in November 2018. I feel very grateful for the treatment I’ve received

Pleurodesis?
I had a chance to speak with my doctor today for the follow-up to the thoracentesis. I was told that I am now at stable disease. I had the second thoracentesis in six weeks with another 1.1 liters pulled out. My treatment options are pretty slim as if right now. I'd never originally responded to first

Pendle99 : Farewell to Penny
Dear friends, sisters and fellow warriors, It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you all that my friend Penny lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer last Monday, 20 of January. Her dear husband Johnny was kind enough to call me that day to let me know that she had passed away. He told me that Penny

Hi, I am taking Olaparib doing fine up to now I’m taking it since last January 2019 I was initially given Avastin after my first round of chemotherapy, I had my first recurrence 21 months later, I’ve had two recurrences in total but because I just couldn’t take anymore chemotherapy I pushed for the Olaparib

Integrative? Success with supplements - food choices prolonging remission?
I have been on (and off) chemo for about three or four years, mostly on. The latest was almost a year and a half of Carbo/Gemzar also with Avastin. Now I am ONLY on Avastin, NED for almost 6 months. I was NED during most of last chemo also. I always take all sorts of supplements and foods, and I am revisiting

Update on the pleural effusion
Well, you all were right. This pleural effusion is coming because there has been a development in the small nodule growing in my right lung. it's very small and its growth is incremental at least in as far as the last CT scan over a month ago. Meanwhile, they're keeping me on avastin because the doctor
