Treatment
I have been reading through all the posts and was wandering if any of you wonderful ladies can answer a question that has just popped into my head. I have noticed a lot of post saying their treatment is six chemo, surgery and then further treatment. I am stage 3c PPC and have been told 3 Taxol / Carbo

ct scan
Many are going through such a tough time at the moment, I am rather hesitant to post. I was in clinic today for the result of my ct scan. The team are pleased, I have remained stable so have an extended leave of absence from the Oncology Unit. This leaves me with queries as to why Avastin works better

Avastin and aching all over!
Hi all, Avastin was introduced into my last 3 carbo/taxol chemo session at the end of 2015 and since January I have just had infusions of avastin every three weeks. I am experiencing quite severe pain in my right arm if I move it a certain way, and pains in my back, legs and feet if I sit in the same

Update on Olaparib
Hi Ladies. Had my PET scan and Oncologist said scan was good and he was happy with results.Had to have scan in Euromedics or whatever they've renamed it,that was a bit confusing to say the least. Side effects are still a hindrance to living a normal life.Im now fighting a bad chest infection,appetite

Cold/hay fever symptoms and Avastin?
What a lovely sunny morning. I'm posting to ask if anyone taking Avastin had experienced runny nose, and croaky throat on Avastin. I had my first dose with no 5 chemo, and didn't get any effects. The second dose was with my final (hurray) chemo no 6. I developed a runny nose after a week and now, 2.5

Scans etc
When I was first diagnosed last May with Ppc my oncologist said that I would have 6 monthly scans Now, however he has said that I won't have any further scans unless I have pain or ca 125 markers go up considerably. Is this standard follow up treatment now ? I'm on avastin at present Thanks x

Watch and wait - update
Sorry everyone - I had updated my post on the question of whether to watch and wait, but it seems I didn't actually manage to post it! You may recall I posted about my Mum, who was told be a registrar that she would go on second line chemo, even before they had ordered the scan. The scan was meant

Cancer returned within 3 months
My mum was diagnosed with stage 3c oc last April, she had emergency surgery to remove ovaries, tubes and part of her small bowel. My mum had 6 rounds of chemo and was put in remission last October but we were told that we would probably be looking at more treatment in 2/3 years. Yesterday mum was told

Hot flushes after chemo.
Hi as anyone experienced hot flushes after finishing chemo. I also had debulking operation last year and finished my last lot of chemo in December. Been on avastin since last November. I have been through the menopause but now have started to get hot flushes, so feel like I am going through it again
