Anyone having blood pressure issues following IV Avastin injections?
Hi everyone; I hope all is well. I'm nearly six weeks post first intravitreal(IV) Avastin injection and ten days post second IV Avastin injection. My BP is pretty high(160/90's) and nothing else could explain it other than perhaps some chronic dehydration. I was mildly elevated at times(pre Avastin therapy

OC has spread to lungs
Six hour debulking surgery in June. I have had two infusions of carboplatin/paclitaxal. Sadly, CT scan this morning shows several large metastasis in lungs. Oncologist called this afternoon to discuss adding Avastin. He described the possible horrific side effects. Has anyone had success in shrinking

Here we go again
In June 2019, I was diagnosed with stage 4 OC. And, on Tuesday, 8/25, I will start my third line of treatment. Will be taking weekly taxol and Avastin. I’m told it’s pretty tolerable, which I’m all about. Any advise for what I can expect to feel with respect to side effects? Unfortunately, I didn

Bad Avastin reaction
Hello all. I was diagnosed with OC back at the end of Feb, after a cyst burst. At the time the emergency hysterectomy showed it was 'contained' and they staged it as 1C, but of course the fluid meant cells went winging around my abdominal cavity, and because it's an 'unknown primary' - apparently undifferentiated

Stage 4B OC, 1st Recurrence. How is CarboPlatin and Gemcitibine as treatment?
I have just been diagnosed with a recurrence after 18 treatments of Carbo and Taxol and debulking surgery. Diagnosed originally in June 2019 with OC stage 4B. I am told because my recurrence happened in 6 months, I “may be” platin resistant. I am specifically looking for feedback on CarboPlatin and

Does Ovestin cream help bladder prolapse?
My bladder prolapse can’t go any further south. I used to walk miles and cannot do so now. Have been using the cream for a month now. Can anyone tell me if it will help? I do know it can take weeks, it can it help “shove” my bladder back up?

Avastin and ca 125 level going up
I’m new to this. Has anyone had ca 125 levels to creep up with Avastin alone. Mines went from 37,43,56,78, and now 140. But my ct scans are clear.

Adriamycin anyone?
So after Ibrance, Taxol, Fulvestrant, Avastin (still taking Fulvestrant and Denosumab), Xeloda. It looks like my next port of call is either more Taxol (which I found fine for the first 17 weeks) or Adriamycin. Anyone tried this?I found Xeloda was so bad for my tummy plus tiredness but found Taxol fine
