It's gone
I was diagnosed with stage 4 peritoneal cancer June last year at 42 it had spread to my lungs and chest, I also had tumours laying on my liver & diaphragm. I had 6 rounds of carboplatin and taxol followed by what the surgeons called ultra radical surgery it involved a full hysterectomy, a liver resection

Paclitaxel
Hi, My wife has stage 4 Ovca. Dx was in November 2014. Well on the first cycle of chemo in January they tried to give her Paclitaxel but she reacted to it so they stopped, they ended up just giving her Carbo and Avastin. Yesterday was her second chemo cycle, again she reacted to the Paclitaxel despite

Disappointed
I had my 4th Avastin IV last week and a CT scan last Thursday. Previously my CA 125 level had been rising on Avastin and apparently it has risen again and is around 1,600. My scan showed my primary (I have not been able to have surgery at the moment) has grown and the secondaries in the peritoneum

A little sad
Hi ladies, hope everyone doing ok. Just feeling a little sad and disheartened and you have been so supportive any time I post that I said I would do so again. Mam has been on cyclophosphamide daily and avastin fortnightly since early November when she had ascites drained. She was great until Christmas

The Cancer Drugs Fund review results
January 2015 The Cancer Drugs fund (CDF) was set up in 2010 to provide funding for cancer drugs which have not been approved for NHS use England by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE). This may be because the drugs have yet to be reviewed, or that they have been reviewed, but

Apologies
I wrote that Avastin was roughly £25000 for a 10 month course which is £1.56 for every year of life a 50 year old woman has lived. It is actually £1.36. Not much really, is it?
