Water Works
Good morning everyone, I have just finished 6 sessions of carbo/taxol (the last 4 with avastin) and have a further 14 sessions of avastin ahead of me. Every time I had chemo, I developed a UTI, for which I was prescribed anti-biotics. I now find that I have an extremely weak bladder, and need to have

ICON8B and Avastin/bevicumizab
Hi Women, I am on the every 3 week with avastin arm of the ICON8B trial. I have only 4 avastin doses left. I was due one yesterday but it was postponed due to severe nerve pain in my feet. I am currently on cymbalta and vitamin b6 for the lack of feeling in my feet and finger tips (from taxol) and

Hi all. I was feeling very positive lately. I had an excellent response to chemo and just after three cycles was told that there's hardly any disease left. I will still have surgery and three more chemos to mop up and 16 more cycles of avastin. Then I look online. I shouldn't. It said on one site

in remission
I am so happy to be in remission after 1 1/2 years of debilitating chemo. It has been 11 months now, and I am on Avastin every 3 weeks. I am hoping this will be permanent, but one just never knows. I am new to this community!

What is 'normal' after chemo?
I had my second lot of Carboplatin, and first of Taxol and Avastin last Wednesday. Seem to have cracked the constipation/diarrhea balance, this time, but have been badly affected by pains in feet and legs. I'm finding it difficult to sleep because of it. Otherwise, apart form being tired all seems

My story
HI Ladies, I remain stable at the moment. However my body has started playing tricks on me. I need spare parts from Ebay, my daughter says, So to recoup, went to see a Rheumatologist re my hip, I got a steroid injection which has helped so my physio wants me to have another to get rid of the pain

Avastin and tumeric
I would like to jump on the tumeric bandwagon after all the good things that I have read. Does anyone know if you can take it whilst on avastin?

PIP & ESA
Hi Ladies I keep reading about these and not claimed as if I'm honest I have no idea if I'm supposed too. Is this part of an entitlement being diagnosed with OC? I was diagnosed in December last year with 3C and had surgery followed by 6 rounds of chemo with Avastin which ended in June. Now on Avastin

Avastin and vision
Hello Ladies just been to hospital for my 5th Avastin (7 more to go). I asked if side effects were cumulative it seems not the case. I just feel so tired, have achey leg joints, runny nose, stomach cramps, constant headaches and I drink loads of water. I did ask about my vision as have noticed it has

Needing some positivity 😢
I completed 2nd line carboplatin and Gem in June was disappointed as I didn't get NED but the consultant was pleased with the effect of the chemo. Am lucky enough to be on avastin for maintenance. There was residual in my right lung. i have been having increasing discomfort on this side and hoping it

Good news
Saw my oncologist yesterday and my ca125 had gone down from 300 to 148 😊 my prayers were answered. Last year before I started chemo it was 2,700, then went down to 19. But then started rising again when I went on avastin then caylax. Back on taxol which I was on last year and it's working. Also had

Ascites
What symptoms do you get with ascites? I finished doxil after five rounds in July because of toxicity. I've had carbo platol, gemzar carbo with avastin. Then doxil. My tummy has always been large since diagnosis but seems more uncomfortable lately. I have days when I can go all day not wanting to pass

Avastin
Just a quick one ladies. I have had two sessions of Avastin added to Carbo/Taxol and wondered if anyone else had suffered side effects of loss of balance and "shaky" hands. I am moving around like a little old lady (which I suppose I am really!) and am hoping that this is not going to be with me for
