Avastin?
Have any of you decided against having Avastin? The side effects scare me. I have a lot of bowel problems already and don't want to add anything that may make that worse, or end up back in hospital. How did you decide? Lyn xx

Great news, not so great news and the AMD learning curve
My 1st Eylea injection in my left eye was June last year after which I've gone from every 4, then eventually 6, 8, 10 and now a 12 week gap between injections. The great news is that after my next injection in another 12 weeks they will stop but continue to monitor as the wet MD is pretty well dry now

First Post, DME sufferer with approx. 40 injections
Diagnosed approx. 4 years ago, diabetic for the last 30 years. Had avastin injections in left eye for a while, then both eyes were treated and the right eye cleared completely after about 12 injections but left eye still has leakage. Ophthalmologist recently switched to Eylea so I think I'm on my 6th

Battling ovarian cancer (recurrance)
Hi, My name is Grace and I am new here. After the 1st hysterectomy and debulking, followed by a round of chemo (carboplatin and paclitaxel), I was in remission for 11 months. A CT and PET scan then showed some nodules. These were removed by a key hole surgery and I am currently receiving chemo again,

photodynamic therapy
I have had a series of 7 avastin then 2 eylea injections. My Dr. is suggesting using PDR therapy so that I can extend beyond 4 weeks since leakage is still showing up in one eye. Is this too soon to give up and add another therapy. I would love to go to 6 or 8 weeks but as with all these therapies they

What happens when avastin finishes?
Hi ladies, after finishing carboplatin and paclitaxel I am now on no 14 of 18 avastin. I have just had a scan and have new small growths in my liver and lungs. However a previous growth in my abdomen continues to shrink. I am a little worried that when my avastin has finished that the cancer will come

Flying after Lucentis injection, is it safe?
Hey all my name is Becky I am 36 years old and have been having lumps growing in my retina for last 4 years, also new vein growth and retinal bleeds. Also had a lump on right heart boarder and lumps around edges of lungs (borderline abnormal). The doctors tell me it’s some sort of auto immune disease

CA125 Rising Even with Chemo
I’m struggling with a recurrence right now and feeling defeated. I’ve had Avastin 3 times (3 weeks apart) and carbo and taxol every week for the past 4 weeks. After the first treatment of Avastin my CA125 went from 211 to 157. I was encouraged and feeling good about treatments. Now, after 2 more treatments
