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.

Avastin silicone injection and floaters
Can the silicone molecules buildup and form floaters over a time frame ? I had 5 series of avastin injections. I mentioned thefloaters I am experiencing now to my Dr. before the injection two days ago and he said it was the silicone . He asked if I wanted to change to Eylea. I did not know that they

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

Has anyone seen my big girl's knickers?
Hi all. As promised, my results. Not good though. The carbo/caelyx has done zilch and all the tumours have marched along merrily this last six months as the avastin alone didn't do anything either. I'm going to start on Hycamtim in two weeks, once the carbo/caelyx is out of my system. Chances

High white blood count
Hi all, just an update and question. Had my 14 dose of avastin and I was given my results of bloods which i had done 3 weeks ago, my ca125 remains at 9 which is fan, but my wbc is 12. Normal range is 11 and under. Does this indicate that it is high? Sounds a silly question, I know it is only over

Mouth pain with avastin
I just had my 2nd treatment of Avastin on Friday. On Saturday I felt like I had a toothache. My jaw is sore to the touch. My gums on the one side are extremely painful. I know mouth pain is a side effect. I wasn’t sure if that meant from sores (not present) or just pain in gums. Has anyone else

Kidney problems
I am stage 4 breast cancer and have been on Avastin for almost 2 years along with a couple of other chemos which they keep shifting. I’ve complained endless times to my oncologist that my urine is foamy but he says that this will disappear once I’m off Avastin. Now I don’t urinate for hours after I drink

Oral Cytoxan and Avastin
Hi I have been on Cytoxan/Avastin for awhile now I get Avastin IV every 2 wks and take the Oral Pill every day. I have been noticing bad aches and pains. I guess it’s muscle/joint and even bone pain. Anyone else get this. It seems to be worse now . It’s mostly my hips and thigh. I’m also very stiff
