Hair colour
Hi everyone. I keep meaning to ask how long after chemo did any of you colour your hair?? I’m still on Avastin but I’m not sure if that is a problem or not. I have about an inch of hair growth now and It’s just a little way to have some control over what’s happening .. 😊x

Has anyone seen my big girl's knickers?
Hi all. As promised, my results. Not good though. The carbo/caelyx has done zilch and all the tumours have marched along merrily this last six months as the avastin alone didn't do anything either. I'm going to start on Hycamtim in two weeks, once the carbo/caelyx is out of my system. Chances

High white blood count
Hi all, just an update and question. Had my 14 dose of avastin and I was given my results of bloods which i had done 3 weeks ago, my ca125 remains at 9 which is fan, but my wbc is 12. Normal range is 11 and under. Does this indicate that it is high? Sounds a silly question, I know it is only over

Mouth pain with avastin
I just had my 2nd treatment of Avastin on Friday. On Saturday I felt like I had a toothache. My jaw is sore to the touch. My gums on the one side are extremely painful. I know mouth pain is a side effect. I wasn’t sure if that meant from sores (not present) or just pain in gums. Has anyone else

Kidney problems
I am stage 4 breast cancer and have been on Avastin for almost 2 years along with a couple of other chemos which they keep shifting. I’ve complained endless times to my oncologist that my urine is foamy but he says that this will disappear once I’m off Avastin. Now I don’t urinate for hours after I drink

Oral Cytoxan and Avastin
Hi I have been on Cytoxan/Avastin for awhile now I get Avastin IV every 2 wks and take the Oral Pill every day. I have been noticing bad aches and pains. I guess it’s muscle/joint and even bone pain. Anyone else get this. It seems to be worse now . It’s mostly my hips and thigh. I’m also very stiff

Contact lenses
Hi, I am just about to go for my second Avastin injection this week, I don’t see much improvment since the first, the sight is still quite distorted so don’t feel safe to drive, the glare is a little better but mainly as I have bought the over glasses. I wear varifocals glasses and wondered of wearing

I need advice on managing chemo side effects for a stage four NSCLC patient
Hi My wife, 57 and a non smoker, got diagnosed last summer with Shane four NSCLC mesothelioma. The dr at Penn got her on Keytruda, Alimta, carboplatin...which worked for 6 months. But her foundation one has no biomoarkers for targeted therapy. Monday she starts a very powerful, and thus deadly and

Missing chemo
I’m currently on avastin and doxil. I’m going on a vacation and am thinking of skipping one round of treatment so that I’ll feel better and these mouth sores will go away. The way my treatments are scheduled this will mean it’ll be a month between treatments if I skip one. I guess I’m scared that

Avastin
Just wondering what are the views on Avastin injections, and the side affects being encountered. I read it is widely used and I have just had my first injection, too early to say if it’s helping but not felt too good since.

Avastin treatments.
How long is the longest anyone has been on Avastin for maintenance? In Canada the government will pay for 12 treatments, but not more as there is no clinical proof that it remains effective after this period. I know women can continue treatment through other funded methods (clinical trials, private

both eyes same day?
Went to a new specialist and he gave me Avastin injection in both eyes on the same day. This was my 4th injection series and other doctors would not do same day injections. It is better for me due to distance I must travel. Some say it is a risk if one had an issue...this doc says most docs don't do
