Stopping Avastin
Hello lovely ladies, I saw my oncologist yesterday and discussed with her stopping Avastin. As my blood test results are good, CA125 stable between 8-10, and my last two scans show nothing new, she has agreed I can stop. I’ll see her again in April after a PET scan and blood test. I’m so pleased I just

Another new approach!!
I just wanted to let u all know I'm still fighting!! After Avastin, and 2 platinum chemos in addition to all the rest and olaparib, which was great for 18 month, then cisplatin, then gems. (I think) I again reacted to platinum and we are now going to start another Astrazeneca. 7 plus years and counting

Hi lovely ladies, today is my last chemo (2nd line) of Gemcitabine and Cisplatin. I am so looking forward to having a break from the chemo; must say it was much harder than the first line. The oncologist ordered a scan in about 4 weeks from now, so not sure yet how effective it was. As it became harder

Rotterdam Regimen- any information please
Hello all. I have just started on the Rotterdam Regimen as my second line treatment. I was having Avastin and had 9 treatments but now my CA125 has increased to 2900 after being below 30. I finished my first chemo in August 2018 after being diagnosed Stage 4 in January 2018 and have had TAH. Is there

Just back from skiing the three valleys. I have completed my 18 avastin treatments and my last body ct scan and brain mri are clear. The area they were concerned about in my brainstem has shrunk and now they don’t think it was ever anything significant but will monitor me 3 monthly. I am back working

Long term Avastin
I’m new here and I have been in remission (2nd time) for 16 months and will have my 32 Avastin infusion next week. Has anyone been on Avastin for a long time and had a recurrence?

Following on from my post on Avastin length of treatment....
Well after a lot of thinking and reading I've decided to stop Avastin, I'm calling my oncologist tomorrow to call a halt. My life is starting to feel like it has slowed to a stop, everything hurts, I can't wake up on a morning as I'm stuggling to sleep and my 2 day a week job it giving me the fear.

Avastin
Hi everyone, Can anyone advise me about Avastin and the criteria for having it in the UK for first line treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer along with pacletaxel and carboplatin. I am sure I had read on line that it was to become available for first line treatment, but I now cant find the information

Sound Familiar?
Hi Ladies, I have had three recurrences of ovarian cancer in six years. I am on Avastin now. Lately I’ve been experiencing tension or sinus headaches frequently, my gums bleed a lot and I feel discomfort in my neck area. I am getting a CT scan tomorrow but if the abdomen. Am I freaking out again or

OvarIan 3C Avastin & Doxil
My wife was diagnosed ovarian 3C in June 2017. Has been getting Avastin since march 2018. Started every 3 weeks for a few months. Ca125 kept rising. Then changed to a cycle of doxil and Avastin every 4 weeks (day 1), and just Avastin in the middle of the 4 weeks (day 15). After several cycles Ca125

I’ve seen my consultant today who tells me that I am eligible for Rucaparib. Good news, but it has left me with a dilemma. Ever since I was diagnosed with PPC in June 2016, I have been philosophical about the likely outcome of treatment - recurrence - treatment and so on. After Carbo/Taxol and the

AVASTIN length of treatment
Hello, I’m wondering how long any of you have managed to tolerate Avastin. I’ve been having it since March first with second line then on it’s own and I’m really struggling. So feeling really torn between putting up with it and giving up the two days I work (normality) or trying an 80% dose with no

Happy new year to all, I would appreciate advice on wearing contact lenses with Wet AMD?
I am having Eyelea injections in both eyes after 6 months of Avastin that stopped working. Since my injections my specs don’t seem to be as good, but today I tried my contact lenses in and found my sight to be a little better, I am wondering if anyone else has found this? I obviously can’t use contact

Doxil and Avastin
Hey guys I just wanted to know what to expect from this drug combination I had my first round and felt pretty good had very few side effects. Should I expect this through out my whole treatment or is it cumulative? Please let me know your experiences with this drug. I’m clear cell stage 2c grade
