Watch and wait vs treatment
My mom went to see her oncologist and they offered her surgery, doxil/carbo and avastin. They said since she responded well the first time - they think she will respond well again. The reoccurrence is two small nodules one on her stomach lining and one in her pelvis both less then 1”. She’s meeting

Can you survive a reoccurance?
My mom was diagnosed October 2018 with Stage 4 and recently learned she is having her first reoccurance in her stomach lining. Two small spots- They offered surgery, the doxil/cabo + avastin. has anyone had this combination for a reoccurance? What is the prognosis between the next reoccurance? I hate

Update on previous post.
Update on previous post: so after comparing scans from April to recent it has grown quickly. Taken all by surprise and whether it was the Avastin that had been holding it back which was stopped in March they don't know. So we are where we are, unfortunately and I have to have chemo to stop it, reduce

How long do side effects linger?
After Carbo and Taxol, I did a year of 'maintenance' Avastin. I finished that in Feb 2021. I still have lots of pain (joints, muscles, etc) and still feel as tho I have chemo brain. Am I just crazy, or does it take a long time for the body to heal from all of these drugs? I appreciate

Doxil and Hair Loss
Hello ladies - my oncologist will be placing me on Doxil with Avastin. I was searching previous posts on Doxil side effects but didn’t see anything on hair loss. For those who were on Doxil, did you lose your hair? Thank you.

Avastin stopped due to blood clot, niraparib next
I went for my 4th avastin on Friday, but after waiting several hours had a surprise visit from my consultant, who told me my recent scan had picked up a blood clot in my left thigh/groin, so I couldn’t have treatment that day and it was being stopped altogether! I now have fragmin injections and an appt

Hello Ladies - I have recurrence and have gone through another 5 rounds of Taxol and Carboplatin plus Avastin. I’m still on Avastin but having side effects from it. Has anyone gone through Mistletoe therapy? If you have I would appreciate hearing how you have done. I know Dr. Nasha Winters who had

Cancer with no rise in CA 125?
Hello collective hearts, While looking for something completely unrelated to cancer it was found on a CT that i have a new 3 cm ( not mm) spot on my lung where previously there were only two tiny 2 and 3 mm ones. Two months ago this was not there. Will be getting PET to determine metabolic activity.

Still clear
Hello ladies, It’s been a while since I last posted and to be honest I have not been logging on too often. My darling husband passed away last month, his cancer was too aggressive and treatment stopped last August. He deteriorated gradually but after Christmas the change was drastic. In the end his passing

Length of stabilization of wet MD?
I am being treated for wet MD in both eyes with Avastin. It has been stable for 10 weeks and I have not needed shots, which makes me very happy. The plan is to monitor me every 4 weeks. I would love to hear from others about how long their eyes remained stable.

Rising CA125
Hi. Looking for some advice. I completed 6 cycles of chemo (carbo, taxol plus avastin) in early October with a CA125 of 16 (op was in July). I have continued with Avastin. My scan in mid Jan was okay but my blood test last week shows my CA125 is now 23. I know this is within normal levels, I still

Monoclonal Antibody Infusions: an alternative to vaccination? My assessment for PWPs
Monoclonal Antibody Infusions: an alternative to vaccination?
In some situations probably yes.
Specifically, they are probably most useful for "positive Covid infected" PWP who are 1) NOT vaccinated or have not been vaccinated with last 90-120 days, 2) who are > 65 years old, 3) who have 1

Hi , please don’t worry . My Ca125 last year was the highest the consultant had seen at 57,000!!! I have had chemo , radical debulking and an ileostomy ( but a tiny amount of tumour is left on the small intestine) , more chemo and now 3 weekly Avastin. My Ca125 is finally 139. I have stopped worrying

Double vision and 3D vision with wet AMD
Hello generous community, Have any of you with wet AMD (I have left wet and right dry...so far) experienced what feels like double vision and/or sort of 3D visual effects? Perhaps more pronounced following injections for wet? Can nicking of blood vessel in eye during injection process result in worsening
