Failed Eye Injection
Yesterday I had my first injection of EYLEA as 3 injections of Avastin were not working. I have Best's Disease so MD isn't sure how these meds will work for this condition. Does anybody here have Best's Disease? My main question though is for everybody who gets eye injections. With my 3rd Avastin

Avastin rare side effects
My mom started Doxil and Avastin for her first reoccurence of OC seven months ago. Mid-way (roughly August) through the cycle - Avastin was stopped due to high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and severe headaches. Doxil was continued until October - then stopped as mom decided to explore other

Maintenance Therapy
I am interested to know if anyone is on Maintenance Therapy after initial first line treatment............I know about Avastin but wondered if there is anything else offered by the medical profession.

Blurry Vision 7 days after injection.
I have been receiving eye injections for wet AMD for almost a year. I did not respond to well to Avastin and was switched to Eylea which seemed to stabilize my sight for the last 4 months. However after this last injection (and after the 24 to 48 hours of recovery) there has been a dramatic change

Update on my myopic cnv macular degeneration
About 15 months ago I was diagnosed with choroid neovascularization (cnv) in my right eye. Just out of the blue at age 39 I noticed a black spot near my central vision. I received one injection of Avastin 4 days later. I was so upset I actually thought death would be easier (!) and i lost a lot of weight

Ovarian cancer stage 3c/4
My mom was recently diagnosed with said to be ovarian cancer stage 3c. She had a "better then optimal" Surgery per the oncologist, and today she visited the medical oncologist who said it could be stage 4 because it was on her liver. But the surgeon had told us it was on top of her liver and he removed

Stop pursuing treatment, or weekly taxol
This is the latest options my oncologist put to me this Fri. I'm hoping you lovely ladies will help with your wonderful perspectives and provide any close experiences you have had to my own predicament. 1st, some background info. I was first diagnosed with OC after 2 plural effusion drains on right lung

Not great news today
After being told my leakage was improving a month ago, my consultant today said it has began to increase again and he thinks Avastin isn’t working? Although I had a further Avastin injection today he has asked me to think about using a different brand. I am not feeling very confident with this consultant

Still trying to gather information
I am very surprised that nobody on this site has had the same problem I am experiencing. The large floater which remained after an injection with Avastin in February 2017 is still there. Diagnosed as a silicone oil droplet that somehow separated from the needle and mixed into the medication. I was

Hi- my first real post.

Avastin?
Have any of you decided against having Avastin? The side effects scare me. I have a lot of bowel problems already and don't want to add anything that may make that worse, or end up back in hospital. How did you decide? Lyn xx
