Nosebleeds
Has anybody been having frequent and unexplained nose bleeds while on Avastin, Carbo, Gem combination. I have had to be referred to ENT which I could certainly have done without!!

Ibuprofen whilst on Avastin?
Was interested in the post by DRDU discussing Ibuprofen and am wondering if anyone knows if it is safe, or not, to take ibuprofen whilst on Avastin?? I think one reply to her post suggested that it may not be advisable. Does anyone have any knowledge about this please?

SCAN
Well here I am a little scaredy cat, the results must be in and I wont ring. I am due for Avastin tomorrow week so if that is not changed in the meantime, I should be okay. Seeing the oncologist at the end of April, a long wait but they said they would contact me if there was a reason to meantime.

Told 'no cure' after first recurrence.
Is this NHS policy? It is just so depressing, surely some people have beaten this thing even if it has recurred a few times? Have been offered trial with Avastin, but onc admits she would not be pushing for chemo just yet as I feel pretty fit and healthy.

Avastin, again
I am trying to help my mom make a decision and I need your help. She is a vibrant and healthy 75, IIIC, had debulking, 6 carbo/taxol for first line, and is being offered Avastin for 15 months. Not just offered--strongly encouraged by 2 oncs. She went to the Avastin website and is terrified of the possible

WBC still low 6 months after chemo is over...
Hi ladies, I was on Carboplatin, Taxol (weekly) and still on Avastin at the moment. It has been 6 months since chemo is over but in my recent blood tests my white blood cell count, including neutrophil, is still quite low. While the onc and nurses said it's not down to dangerous levels and nothing to

CA 125 risen on avastin
I have been booked in for a scan as my CA125 is now up to 169 so I assume I won't be on Avastin after the results. Bit disappointed as I had hoped to have my quota , only had 11. It's all up the air until results, I would like to think it's a false reading but in my heart I know it's an indication the
