Niraparib
Hello to all my fellow teal warriors, It's been a while since I've posted, after my 1st recurrence in May and had carbo/taxol again but only for 3 infusions as I responded very well, my ca 125 was 15 from 571. I had the option of continuing carbo/taxol for Onother 3 infusions or going on niraparib, although

Unbelievable Updated Update
Morning ladies! Well its 8 days since my debulking op was cancelled, sending me home having waited in the hospital for 51/2 hours, dehydrated and totally P****D off.

AVASTIN
What do you think of todays news about Avastin. It might save the NHS a lot of money but is that a good enough reason to use old technology. Would you like to go back to dial-up internet if it was cheaper? It would be interesting to hear what our American members think.

Feeling a tad fed up
Hello lovely ladies, 9 days ago I had the jj stent which has been in my left ureter since last August changed. I’d had two treatments of Avastin cancelled due to blood in urine and because of the operation. When I saw my oncologist on 30 August she made the appointment for me to have Avastin today. After

Avastin
I’m in the US and have a choice about adding in Avastin to my first go of chemo and of being in a trial that requires 22 treatments of Avastin for maintenance. The doc said Avastin would only add 2 months without recurrence. I wonder what others would recommend-especially about side effects?

2nd try: Avastin (Bevacizumab) + Taxol (Update)
Update. Kind of odd, but Mom who has Stage 3c ovarian cancer, had a tremendous response from Carbo + Taxol first line treatment. Her CA125 plummeted from 3,000 to near 0 during her 4 month treatment. Even 1 month post treatment the CT scan showed no signs of cancer at all. The cancer spots on the outside

Confused good news!!!
Hi my lovelies, Well confused good news it is...... Taxol doesn’t usually work it usually takes forever to do anything and it usually has to be mixed with something like avastin to get any results so her CA125 went from 168 up to 190 so expecting it to be way over 300 we had a shock it’s 56 we have

Eye injections for Retina Vein Occlusion
Have just had my 5th eye injection with Avastin. Had a decrease in sight from last test. Blood buildup does not seem to be breaking up and still have fluid build up. I wonder where we go from here if this is not working. I have hemi retina vein occlusion in left eye.

Taxotere and Cyramza
Wondering if anyone has been on Taxotere and Cyramza and what kind of side effects have they experienced. I am really not liking what I am reading. Have been on Alimta and Dr wanted to add Avastin, however my insurance co denied. I feel like my life is not in my doctors hands but some lousy insurance

Is Doxil and Avastin Still working?
Hello Teal sisters, I'm starting to worry I have been on 3 cycles of Doxil and Avastin out of 6. After the first two cycles my Ca 125 level drop in half however, following the third cycle my CA125 only dropped 3 points. Has this happen to anyone else? God Bless

Stage IIIc High Grade Cancer
Hi Everyone, Just want to know if anyone has taken Cisplatian after Avastin? My friend needed to stop taking her 1st line and moved to Avastin for the last few months ( maybe 3). Now her CA 125 is at 1700 and she just started taking Cisplatin. Any ideas-workds of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
