What to expect with avastin?
Afternoon everyone, it’s been a bit since I posted. I hope you’re all doing ok. Mum starts avastin today, then olaparib in tablet form in a few weeks. I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience of these targeted therapies and how you got on? Mums terrified about side affects etc…I know there are

Anyone here been on tecentriq (atezo) and avastin (bev) for long?
I've not read much in the forum about these two drugs, mostly it seems people are getting pembro. Would love to know how people are getting on if you've been on these two for a long time. How long have you been on it? Any on-going side effects? Have you stopped it? I know the immunos can sometimes

Bathroom issues on avastin/doxil/carbo
Hi ladies, I hope everyone is as well as possible. My mom is currently on avastin, doxil and carbo for her first reoccurance and having bathroom issues. Every time she eats something (every other day) has horrible diarrhea for hours. She eats a very plain diet - spaghetti, chicken, plain, plain food

Avastin v niraparib maintenance
Morning! I’m HGSOC stage 4 BRCA neg, HRP , one chemo left then onto maintenance. I have a choice of avastin or niraparib. My onc favours the PARP inhibitor. How have others made the choice?? From the research it seems v marginal either way. Thank you, Charlotte x

Weight gain on Olaparib??
Having gained some weight during chemo (i ate too many buns as an emotional crutch!) I am now trying to loose it. However finding it impossible to shift. Anyone experience issue with weight on Olaparib or Avastin? Ive never had issues before!

My mother Irina
Hi all, My name is Roman and I'm from Melbourne Australia. I haven't posted much but have followed the forum since my mum being diagnosed with stage 3 high grade serious ovarian cancer in 2017. I think I've read every post since joining and feel as though I know many of the ladies on here. I can't tell

Maintenance after chemo
Maintenance after carboplatin Hi lovely ladies I’m going with mum tomorrow to see oncologist she has just finished six months of chemo and her ca125 has dropped. She’s had niraparib but that stopped working she is not braca positive. I have the knowledge of asking about hormone therapy as suggested

10 years of MBC- tumor markers creeping up.
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed Sept 22, 2011. Bones only. My first 4-5 years were pretty harsh. Avastin, Femara, Pamamidrate. After nearly dying, my oncologist just left me on Femara. Now my markers have been slowly increasing, the biggest this last test, every 4 months. They jumped 20 points. Now

Avastin/Parps
What is the difference between these. Some ladies seem to be put on Avastin for maintenance and others the PARPs so they must work differently. Avastin was mentioned for me when first diagnosed but not since.

Eylea left me with permanent floaters... HELP
I've been diagnosed with CRVO since June 2020. I received Avastin shots for the first 7 months with no complications or lasting floaters, then 3 months with Lucentis, then my RS experimented with Eylea on the 11th month and now I have a permanent floater that looks like an opaque blurry jellyfish in

Avastin advice
After finishing the hard chemo for ovarian cancer (which is now in my liver ), I continued to have severe diarrhea for 6 months. Nothing I did helped it. I started seeing an acupuncturist. Within 2 weeks the diarrhea decreased and my life has been given back to me. I am now back on Avastin as a

Vegan diet with ileostomy for low methionine
Hi , Does anyone manage a vegan diet successfully with an ileostomy? I had chemo then radical debulking last October then chemo till January. I’m currently on 3 weekly Avastin but my Ca125 is increasing . There is evidence that methionine ( an amino acid in protein ) ‘ feeds the cancer’ . A low methionine
