Nosebleeds
Hello All I hope Friday is treating you well. Just a quick question. I finished Avastin in Feb and while on it had the usual bloody nose that many people report but my nose has never really recovered and recently I've had sneezing and irritation (poss pollen related although don't generally suffer).

Olaparib
Hello ladies I hope everyone is as well as can be expected! I have just been told by my oncologist that I will start Olaparib with Avastin, after scan showed progression of disease with more tumours in peritoneum. Does anyone have experience with this therapy? I have BRCA mutation in tumour but

Tomaxafin
Good Morning My mom is stage 3c high grade. She had ascites before diagnosed but after frontline of carbo/gem and Avastin for 6months her ca-125 is very low but was never high..79 at diagnosis and 13 during treatment. Dr says her scans don't show anything except small ascites still. He put her on Tomaxafin

Side effects
Hi I am new to posting. Was diagnosed stage 111c high grade Jan 2016. Had 4 lots of carboplatin and paclitaxel then hysterectomy followed by further two rounds of Chemo. Had Avastin until December when Ca125 levels started to rise rapidly. By February levels were 1400. Showing no symptoms so they left

The dreaded CA
I am coming up to a year post op and one more avastin to go. I was feeling quite jubilant. I asked for my CA result at Avastin 17 and was confident all would be well as it had sat at 15 for about 4 months. I was gutted that it was 42 and more than doubled in 3 weeks. I've had a melt down but now

Avastin?
Does anybody know what criteria determines who is prescribed Avistin after first line treatment and who isn't? I'm in US so curious if this is a more common practice in England but not here. When I asked my Onc if I would be having it she simply said no. I didn't push it, but seems to be standard

Back ache with Avastin
Hi ladies Just a quickie. I had my 2nd Avastin last week along with my 6th 1st line chemo. I woke up in the night last night with spasming lower back pain which wouldn't settle. It's easier while I've been up and about today. I know it's silly but I've convinced myself that it's spread to my spine! My

Avastin maintenance dose

Avastin side effects..
Hi to my fellow warriors, I need some advice for those of you who had or having the avastin treatment and your experience with it. I had my 4th sessions of avastin only after my 1st line chemo treatment of carbo/taxol. I was totally very lucky with the carbo/taxol. For me it was a doddle as I was very

Looking for guidance
I have recently been changed to Avastin as my CT scans showed my cancer was spreading in my lungs. The Chemo drugs were no longer working. Is anyone else in Avastin. Thanks

High Blood Pressure
Good morning all. I went for my Avastin treatment yesterday, but my blood pressure was extremely high and although we took it several times over the next hour, it still did not normalise, so I came home without the treatment. I now have to monitor my BP over the weekend and go to the GP on Monday if

Avastin v Trial
Hi Ladies I need some advice please. My mum has been on the icon 8b trial having carbo with weekly taxol ( taxol at a reduced dose) After surgery it was suggested that she should go onto Avastin as there is cancer still there. If she opts for this drug for 18 weeks she has to come off the trial and have

Ca125 risen a little.
Had my avastin today and results of blood test for CA125 was 29. I know this is within normal range but it was 20 last time. I feel worried but they said there's no need atall to worry. What if next time it's gone over 35.? Would they be concerned or does it have to go up considerably ? Could it

Giving up
I am beginning to think that my cancer might be returning, after 6 goes of carbo/taxol and 8 doses of Avastin. I was NED in January, and had begun to feel better generally, but in the past fortnight I have had persistent pain in my right groin, and increasing tiredness. I am 70 next Monday. I am

Turmeric
Hi everyone Further to my post re joint pain when on Avastin, I was all geared up to start intensive turmeric consumption, when another of the ladies on this forum told me that a pharmacist had advised her that turmeric and Avastin should not be taken together. Has anyone else heard this? As I said to

Joint Pain
Happy Easter everyone. Although I have had arthritis for some years, it has never really affected my way of life and I have always been very active and enjoyed walking. I have had twelve Avastin treatments, and am now finding that my joints are becoming increasingly painful and am unable to walk more

Eylea injection pain.
Bad lifetime near-sightedness (os -13.5) has led to macular degeneration in my left eye. Went through 18 injections of Avastin over 4 years, now on my 5th Eylea. Over all this time, warping distortions have improved greatly, dark grey spots obscuring central 25% of vision have not improved but have not
