I was wondering.....
Hi Everyone! I just completed my 4th round of Taxol Carboplatin. I also receive Avastin and immunotherapy/placebo. This was more difficult side effects than before. I was more nauseated and the body aches were worse and lasted longer as well. I am a very positive person and the treatment is working so

Avastin and knee, shoulder pain
Hello All, My mother is on Avastin. She has taken 3 doses (600 mg) at an interval of 21 days. Total she has been advised for 17 doses. Avastin has started after her chemo were over. After having Avastin's first dose, she has started having too much of knee pain. It is so much so that she finds it very

Avastin and itching
Hello all, my mum has continued with her chemo post surgery, carboplatin & paxlitaxel. Avastin was added for cycles 4-6 and Paxlitaxel removed for cycles 5 & 6 due to Neuropathy. Just wondering if anyone's experienced itchiness with Avastin. We think it's the Avastin as the itchiness only started

Blood pressure
Has anyone else had BP issues? Mine went up with avastin, so I was put on amlopodine, which seemed to control it. When I finished avastin I noticed that my feet seemed to swell rather unattractively, and my doctor said to stop taking the amlopodine, so I did. My BP is now higher than it ever was,

The mountain lion is closing in again!
Good morning ladies - I’ve just read this week’s posts and am marvelling at the positivity that abounds in this community. I’m seeing my consultant today because my CA125 is continuing to rise - I was NED in February and have had 14 of 18 Avastin, but started to feel that all was not well at the start

No, I've not been captured by aliens. Just sick and playing Nana.
Hi soldiers and warriors. Thank you for the messages I've received about my whereabouts these last few weeks. Most of the time I've been in hospital recovering from the chemo side effects. First time was 2 days after first chemo when I got severe neuropathy and ended up without use of my right arm

Avastin not working - what happens next?
Hi all, I don't know what I'm looking for here; perhaps a little reassurance, or perhaps just a clue as to what, realistically, might be in store. My beloved mum, who will be 70 in a week, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Primary Peritoneal Cancer in the summer of 2015. Since then she's had 2 lines of chemo

Wet AMD Advice needed
After receiving 3 avastin injection by NHS in my left eye my sight has been stabilised for 3 months and did improve but my vision is still quite blurry. My question is if an extra injection would reduce the liquid around. Regards,

HE4 why so high but ca125 within low range
I'm so confused. I've been reading so much and now I'm even more confused. My mom last CA-125 went down a bit to 21. She never had a high number and the lowest was 13. She was on hormone therapy. She developed a lot of ascites and they saw some evidence of disease growth. She is now on Doxil and

Dilated bile duct & high liver enzymes, any ideas?
Hello, I've been waiting two weeks to find out what my Onc & SN are going to do about abdo pain. Some of it is due to a narrowed colon but the bit I want to ask you about is a dilated Common Bile Duct (CBD). I though about posting on the LIver Trust site but I though I'd try here first. I do have metastases
