Monitoring
Hi all. Is there anyone else who doesn't have regular monitoring? I am stage 3b and have two more Avastin treatments before finishing treatment. I am seeing my oncologist next Monday to be signed off. The thing is, he said that he will not be seeing me again unless i have symptoms. No scan no CA checks

Fab holiday. Back to reality.
Had an amazing couple of weeks in Cuba. So glad I have hair now. Lol This is me and my other half who has been my rock for the last year. Got back yesterday and today I have to do a 24 hour urine sample, take it hospital in the morning where they'll do a blood test too. Tomorrow afternoon is a CT

Looking for others experiencing a seemingly permanent floater from silicone oil after Avastin injection
Hoping to get a picture of why this occurred. Was it the compounding lab? Is there still a chance of it going away? ( it has been 6 months). Switched to Lucentis since, so far, so good. It is beyond annoying: the shape and size of an olive slice. White/almost fluorescent center.

On a journey
I have been getting injections for macular degeneration for 4 years. Have experienced floaters in shape of bugs,, washers. Some lasted as long as several weeks. Most of them went away after a few hours or days. In January, I had a black circle with white inside in the left eye, and it never went away

Finished Avastin.....but
Hi Ladies... I finished my 18th Avastin on 7th March but for the past 4 days I’ve had diarrhoea and constant stomach ache, this I did have after Avastin infusion. I’m taking Buscopan for stomach cramps but this isn’t helping at all. Has anyone experienced this after finishing treatment and can

Hey there wishing every one well I am back in treatment after two years of no treatment - they put me on Doxil once a month and Avastin 2xmo. The Doxil is Chemo and the Avastin is an immunotherapy drug - so far so good side effects are not that bad! I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer stageIII I have

Hell all. I am new to this site. Was diagnosed with OC in 2015. CA125 was 1265 and cancer staged at 4 which was later changed to 3C. Had chemo and optimal debulking op. At the end of my chemo CA 125 was 8. What a relieve, but it was short lived. I had a recurrence 11 months after finishing chemo. I

Ca125
Hi all Sorry for writing this because I know so many are facing far worse issues at the moment. My CA125 settled at 8 after first line chemo (carbo/taxol), and has stayed there for 2 months. I'm happily settling into remission with Avastin, but today my CA125 has come back as 9. I have had a hacking

Avastin and less-common side effects, esp. joint pain.
Hello ladies. Do any of you have experience of joint pains while on Avastin only (and so not caused by chemo drugs)? I read posts from 3/4 years ago on this subject and you'd think that by now oncologists would have accepted that joint pains can be a side-effect of Avastin. Mine does not think so and

Got sick and woke up with blurry vision.
In early May, I had flu like symptoms and became sick. I woke up having blurry vision in my left eye. I thought it was from being sick so I continued to take flu medicines and rest. It never went away so I saw my eye dr who referred me to a RS. I was given an Avastij shot last month that I honestly feel

Private pay for evaluation and Avastin
Dear All, have been referred to an ophthalmology Specialist for what I believe is a recurrance oof wet AMD after 5 years of having it dried up. My current insurance won't allow me to see the doctor that I need so I have to cover it out of pocket. Any idea what the damage might be for a visit for eval

Avastin cancelled and CA125 rising.
Hi lovely ladies. My avastin was cancelled today as I had too much protein in my urine. I often have it when I do a sample but I did a 24 hour sample and there was too much protein so treatment was cancelled. Will have it after my holiday. Also my CA125 was 54. It was 40 last time and lower each previous

Afraid of a wet AMD relapse.
Dear All, I had several years of Avastin for Wet AMD in my right eye by a fantastic specialist and was discharged as cured about 5 years ago. I still had some light loss and a little distortion in the right eye and will forever. Lately, however, I have become anxious that there are more residual symptoms
