Avastin
I’m in the US and have a choice about adding in Avastin to my first go of chemo and of being in a trial that requires 22 treatments of Avastin for maintenance. The doc said Avastin would only add 2 months without recurrence. I wonder what others would recommend-especially about side effects?

2nd try: Avastin (Bevacizumab) + Taxol (Update)
Update. Kind of odd, but Mom who has Stage 3c ovarian cancer, had a tremendous response from Carbo + Taxol first line treatment. Her CA125 plummeted from 3,000 to near 0 during her 4 month treatment. Even 1 month post treatment the CT scan showed no signs of cancer at all. The cancer spots on the outside

Confused good news!!!
Hi my lovelies, Well confused good news it is...... Taxol doesn’t usually work it usually takes forever to do anything and it usually has to be mixed with something like avastin to get any results so her CA125 went from 168 up to 190 so expecting it to be way over 300 we had a shock it’s 56 we have

Eye injections for Retina Vein Occlusion
Have just had my 5th eye injection with Avastin. Had a decrease in sight from last test. Blood buildup does not seem to be breaking up and still have fluid build up. I wonder where we go from here if this is not working. I have hemi retina vein occlusion in left eye.

Taxotere and Cyramza
Wondering if anyone has been on Taxotere and Cyramza and what kind of side effects have they experienced. I am really not liking what I am reading. Have been on Alimta and Dr wanted to add Avastin, however my insurance co denied. I feel like my life is not in my doctors hands but some lousy insurance

Is Doxil and Avastin Still working?
Hello Teal sisters, I'm starting to worry I have been on 3 cycles of Doxil and Avastin out of 6. After the first two cycles my Ca 125 level drop in half however, following the third cycle my CA125 only dropped 3 points. Has this happen to anyone else? God Bless

Stage IIIc High Grade Cancer
Hi Everyone, Just want to know if anyone has taken Cisplatian after Avastin? My friend needed to stop taking her 1st line and moved to Avastin for the last few months ( maybe 3). Now her CA 125 is at 1700 and she just started taking Cisplatin. Any ideas-workds of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Hair colour
Hi everyone. I keep meaning to ask how long after chemo did any of you colour your hair?? I’m still on Avastin but I’m not sure if that is a problem or not. I have about an inch of hair growth now and It’s just a little way to have some control over what’s happening .. 😊x
