Avastin side effects..
Hi to my fellow warriors, I need some advice for those of you who had or having the avastin treatment and your experience with it. I had my 4th sessions of avastin only after my 1st line chemo treatment of carbo/taxol. I was totally very lucky with the carbo/taxol. For me it was a doddle as I was very

Looking for guidance
I have recently been changed to Avastin as my CT scans showed my cancer was spreading in my lungs. The Chemo drugs were no longer working. Is anyone else in Avastin. Thanks

High Blood Pressure
Good morning all. I went for my Avastin treatment yesterday, but my blood pressure was extremely high and although we took it several times over the next hour, it still did not normalise, so I came home without the treatment. I now have to monitor my BP over the weekend and go to the GP on Monday if

Ca125 risen a little.
Had my avastin today and results of blood test for CA125 was 29. I know this is within normal range but it was 20 last time. I feel worried but they said there's no need atall to worry. What if next time it's gone over 35.? Would they be concerned or does it have to go up considerably ? Could it

Giving up
I am beginning to think that my cancer might be returning, after 6 goes of carbo/taxol and 8 doses of Avastin. I was NED in January, and had begun to feel better generally, but in the past fortnight I have had persistent pain in my right groin, and increasing tiredness. I am 70 next Monday. I am

Turmeric
Hi everyone Further to my post re joint pain when on Avastin, I was all geared up to start intensive turmeric consumption, when another of the ladies on this forum told me that a pharmacist had advised her that turmeric and Avastin should not be taken together. Has anyone else heard this? As I said to

Joint Pain
Happy Easter everyone. Although I have had arthritis for some years, it has never really affected my way of life and I have always been very active and enjoyed walking. I have had twelve Avastin treatments, and am now finding that my joints are becoming increasingly painful and am unable to walk more

Eylea injection pain.
Bad lifetime near-sightedness (os -13.5) has led to macular degeneration in my left eye. Went through 18 injections of Avastin over 4 years, now on my 5th Eylea. Over all this time, warping distortions have improved greatly, dark grey spots obscuring central 25% of vision have not improved but have not

CA125 rising
I was diagnosed with OC 3c in September 2016. My CA125 was over 9000 at that point and rose to over 11000 as I started chemo (weekly paclitaxel and 3 weekly avastin and carboplatin). I had surgery in January 2017 and have had 7 weeks more chemo since. I have two more weekly sessions of paclitaxel to

Avastin Caused Permanent Kidney Damage - Looking at Dialysis
HELP........... It appears Avastin has caused permanent kidney damage and I will now require dialysis to clean out my kidneys (probably 3 times a week). Is anybody on dialysis while on chemo????????? I thought I was doing everything right and yet I hit another brick wall. I am trying hard to stay

Avastin Gave Me Kidney Damage/Doxil Didn't Work
Hello Ladies, Here is my story: First line treatment, I did amazing (or so I thought). My scans were clean and I lived a short remission. I recurred and was put on monthly doses of Avastin and Doxil. The Avastin has given me a terrible time. I had to stop after three full doses. I now have high

Caelyx
Can any one give me any information on how they have been with Caelyx? I am feeling terribly depressed as the oncologist team offered me a trial of a super duper new drug which has been launched by Pfizer. They are so confident in it that they are paying for the trial themselves. Naturally I jumped at
