Avastin and less-common side effects, esp. joint pain.
Hello ladies. Do any of you have experience of joint pains while on Avastin only (and so not caused by chemo drugs)? I read posts from 3/4 years ago on this subject and you'd think that by now oncologists would have accepted that joint pains can be a side-effect of Avastin. Mine does not think so and

Got sick and woke up with blurry vision.
In early May, I had flu like symptoms and became sick. I woke up having blurry vision in my left eye. I thought it was from being sick so I continued to take flu medicines and rest. It never went away so I saw my eye dr who referred me to a RS. I was given an Avastij shot last month that I honestly feel

Private pay for evaluation and Avastin
Dear All, have been referred to an ophthalmology Specialist for what I believe is a recurrance oof wet AMD after 5 years of having it dried up. My current insurance won't allow me to see the doctor that I need so I have to cover it out of pocket. Any idea what the damage might be for a visit for eval

Avastin cancelled and CA125 rising.
Hi lovely ladies. My avastin was cancelled today as I had too much protein in my urine. I often have it when I do a sample but I did a 24 hour sample and there was too much protein so treatment was cancelled. Will have it after my holiday. Also my CA125 was 54. It was 40 last time and lower each previous

Afraid of a wet AMD relapse.
Dear All, I had several years of Avastin for Wet AMD in my right eye by a fantastic specialist and was discharged as cured about 5 years ago. I still had some light loss and a little distortion in the right eye and will forever. Lately, however, I have become anxious that there are more residual symptoms

Carboplatin and gemcitabine
Hello All...... I believe I posted a week or so ago about my recurrence after a 27 month remission from Stage4 OC. My doctors thought I'd be eligible to enter a study, but as it turns out, I am not. I will start on Carboplatin and gemcitabine on Wednesday. My previous treatment was the Carboplatin

Has anyone been able to lose the weight that they gained during chemo? If so how did you do it?
I've finished 8 sessions of taxol/Carbo and avastin end of last December. I've started a new line of Femara+Ibrance+avastin in January. Even though I insisted on stopping steroids during this new line of treatment I'm gaining weight like crazy. Excruciating pains inhibit my mobility but I'm doing my

Monitoring
Good morning ladies I shall be finishing Avastin in August and at my oncologist appointment this week, asked how it would be monitored when treatment finished.
