Is this it?
I saw my oncologist today, and as I thought the Anastrazole isn't working. Having already had Carbo/Taxol, Avastin and Carbo/Caelyx all he has left in his arsenal is weekly Taxol. Can you please tell me how you managed with this, and whether it was worthwhile. He said that I probably only have about

PET scans
I had 4 rounds of chemo for my stage 3c peritoneal/ovarian cancer. The ca125 dropped to 128. Following surgery it was 424 and then 400 but the ct scan was clear so I was started on Avastin alone. However ca 125 has now risen to 565, I don’t normally like to be ‘pushy’ but I did question my oncologist

What happened to you after Avastin?
I'll be on Avastin as a maintenance treatment for one to two years. I'm just wondering what happened to others at the end of their maintenance? Thank you all. This site is so helpful and reassuring.❤️

Need advice re: Stomach pains and Acid Reflux after eating?
Hello ladies, I hope you are all keeping as well as possible. I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please? I had chemotherapy and de-bulking surgery 18 months ago and then took Avastin (Bevacizumab) for 1 year maintenance afterwards and my CA125 levels came down to normal for 1 year.

Treatment Options at 2nd recurrence.
Hello Ladies I do hope you are all keeping well. I am unfortunately facing another round of treatment for recurrence. I had my last carboplatin treatment in Nov 2021 so I am now classed as platinum resistant (I've had two opinions on this) so GemCis is not suitable. I was NED in December and went on

Surgery if now Platinum resistant?
Hello ladies, Im having a second relapse and because I recurred 5 months after second line; Carbo/Caelyx, I'm now classed as Platinum resistant. I was wondering if any of you have had second surgery (second debulking) after second line chemo, and then gone on to non Platinum chemo / maintenance regime

Does Avastin cause a drop in ca125?
Hello All, I'm on Avastin as a maintenance treatment, and my ca125 is dropping a point or two with each blood test even though the main chemotherapy ended nearly 4 months ago. Has anyone else experienced this good effect?

Olaparib dose reduction
Hi all. I've been on Olaparib and Avastin for 2 weeks following frontline chemo for OC and already I've been told to stop because my white blood cells are way too low. I was on 600mg Olaparib and the nurse said to have a break and then if bloods improve to start again on a lower dose. I have heard

Metastatic ovarian to 2 lymph nodes
Hi Ladies-- I haven't written in a while but it's been hectic. I am on cancer #6 now starting in 2007. My last scan in January showed my ovarian cancer is now metastatic to 2 lymph nodes now. This cancer is different for obvious reasons. I had been on niraparib for 3 years and it was working until it

Hi All, I am stage IV serous ovarian cancer with spread to lymph nodes in my neck and chest, diagnosed in April 2021. I am 75. My onc said neck and chest were inoperable so no point in going through abdominal surgery because of recovery time and quality of life prospects. She gave me two to three years
