Recovery from ascites drain?
Hi all, I've been a member for a while but this is my first post. My dear mum has ovarian cancer and has been having treatment on and off for five years. She had a drain before the initial debulking operation back then due to substantial fluid build up, and recovered well. She has kept very well throughout

Avastin
Hello all, Had my review with my Oncologist today and he said that my tumours had shrunk by two thirds ( so happy) He has offered me Avastin. After reading about the side effects, I'm wondering is it worth it. What do you guys think? Sorry should have said this is third cycle and on carboplatin/ paclitaxel

My crumbling fillings
Hi Ladies, I went to the shop this afternoon and popped in to Aldi and could not resist a bag of choc eclairs for 59cent. So, I had one, two, three and went on to no 4. Alas, my lower wisdom tooth came apart at the seams. My dentist will be so chuffed with me not as he only added a piece of filling

Watch & wait ??
Following Avastin tagged on to first line last year mum has had a slow increase in CA125. Between Sept & now it's gone up from 8 to 70. She has no symptoms. Today she has been told scan then 2nd line chemo. I asked if they would consider the scan before deciding to watch & wait, or to proceed with chemo

Avastin
Hi it appears that in due course Avastin may not be suitable for my mother due to complications with the bowel. Does anyone know of alternatives? Many thanks to all those who replied previoulsy it was incredibly helpful.

Surgery / no surgery
Hi can I ask are there many women diagnosed with oc who do not have any surgery. I have had first line chemo carbo / taxol and avastin for stage 4b and looking to have 12 more treatment of avastin only. My recent CT scan showed all tumour is reducing in size. What do you think. Thanks

Not the best news
Hi Ladies. Am back in hospital since Thursday and confirmed today. My OC has spread & comeback - despite finishing chemo only last December and remaining on Avastin. From my last scan in October it had begun to spread during treatment even. Currently, a blockage & not an obstruction is root of problem

Hello and best wishes to all for 2016. I finished my 7th chemo on 3rd December and the onc decided to cancel the 8th and final one (Taxol, Carboplatin with Avastin included since 5th chemo) as I was hospitalised before the scheduled 8th one on 23rd December with neutropenic sepsis and had low haemoglobin

Has anyone self funded Avastin for 2nd or 3rd year?
Has anyone self-funded Avastin and is there any benefit in doing so? Mum will finish her Avastin in August, I am going to email her McMillian nurse and ask for advise too - however I wanted to know if anyone has had it for more than a year and why they did and if it helps keep the cancer away? Mum

I'm looking for suggestions for high calorie meal replacements for my mum with partial obstruction. Would really appreciate some advice.
Bit of background - my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian in March 2015. in the last two months she has had partial intestinal obstruction, and the avastin she was on doesn't seem to be working. She may be starting a different chemo soon, however at the moment she has been in and out of hospital
