Avastin - Pains
Hi Ladies I finished 6 cycles of chemo and Avastin 6 weeks ago (stage 3C). I'm now having just Avastin. My Onc says I'm to have 18 cycles of Avastin every 3 weeks. I'm experiencing terrible stomach cramps, I feel like I'm going to explode together with headaches and achy joints. It's the cramps more

PPC or omentum? No surgery yet as tumour not shrunk enough but ca125 dramatically reducing.
Hi My Mum is currently having chemo for what they believe is either primary PPC or omentum cancer. She had no symptoms other than fluid around her lungs which came back positive with tumour cells of an ovarian nature. Lungs drained 4 months ago, biopsy done and now chemo. Taxol and carbo 3 weekly

Very disappointed 😩
Just finished 2nd line Gem/Carbo and avastin. Consultant very pleased with my response to it but I'm very disappointed it's not all gone and now have to live with it knowing it's only a matter of time. Kids are 23 and 19 - I so want to see my youngest graduate but that's 2 years away. Have chosen not

CA 125 levels rising
Hello ladies, I had my Avastin infusion and scans last Thursday and was shocked to see my CA 125 levels had risen from 17 to 89. I met with the oncologist who said as the CT scan was clear, that he's not worried at the moment, as Avastin can cause CA to rise. IT hasn't stopped me worrying though -

introduction of avastin
hi everyone, I have not posted for a while . I am three weeks post op and doing fairly well considering the amount of surgery I had. I even had my appendix as well as a full hysterectomy. Although I am happy with my recovery so far, come the early evening I am so exhausted and struggle to keep awake

Hi! I was diagnosed in January 2016 with Stage 3c ovarian cancer. Following 6 sessions of Carboplatin and Taxol, my CA 125 dropped from 629.8 to 11.2. Debulking in 2 weeks and thereafter my oncologist says I will not need further chemo unless the cancer returns. So, I'd be grateful if one of the lovely
