Gemcitabine vs Topotecan
Hi all Was wondering if anyone had opinions or experience of whether Gemcitabine or Topotecan have advantages/disadvantages over each other? Either would be given together with Avastin on a weekly basis. My wife has been in discussions with our onc due to her High grade serous BRCA -ve recurrence

Amlodipine Besylate 5mg. for BP
I did 6 rounds of chemo, & had Hysterectomy for clear cell ovarian cancer. Now I'm ongoing treatment with Avastin. As you know Avastin has one side effect that is high blood pressure, which I am experiencing. I have never had high blood pressure in my entire life, but now must go on Amlodipine Besylate

What's next?
Hi all you wonderful women/lovely ladies. Have any of you ever had a chemo called Topotican (sp?) or Gemzar? The Avastin and cytoxan doesn't seem to be working. I go for another cat scan next week to see what's going on. My CA 125 keeps rising and I'm starting to feel bloated and achy. I don't know what's

Sinus problems
Hi everyone just wondering if/ when my sinus problems will improve. I was given Avastin with 4th and 5th Carbotaxol chemo. Since then I have had a runny nose, blood in the mucus and occasional nose bleeds. My oncologist was not too concerned. No Avastin on my 6 th chemotherapy as I am now waiting for

Chemo side effects tips
Hi All. I'm having a bit of a challenging week. I'm currently on carboplatin and Avastin. Just had my third round this Monday. Due to temperature spikes at home on Thursday, I was then assessed in hospital. I didn't want to cause a fuss and thought I should just ride it through. Told not to do that.

What Next?
I have been on this forum for a few years now, and have seen that treatment usually follows the same procedure. I have had Carbo/Taxol with Avastin, Carbo/Caelyx, Rucaparib and am now ready for the next goody bag. Single Taxol has been suggested, but I have heard that this is not very successful. Does

Fasting, chemo and cancer
Hi everyone, I would like to know if any of you have seriously tried fasting and if it was beneficial at all for you? I regularly do intermittent fasting (almost every day for the past 2 years, when possible. Usually easier when at home) but I have not tried anything longer than that. I am willing
