Avastin side effects?
At our appt. with the gyn-onc yesterday, we asked about Avastin (my mom has stage 3 ovarian or peritoneal cancer, they haven't said which!). The gyn-onc said he doesn't like using it because it can cause bowel perforations, but I haven't seen this mentioned in the literature. Anyone have this experience

Avastin
Can anyone tell me if they have been prescribed Avastin with firstline treatment or is it a drug they only prescribe after? Its just that my husband is asking the criteria for getting Avastin and I don't know the answer. I am in the Midlands England. Thanks.

Following 2nd line chemo (Carbo, Gem & Avastin) CA125 already rising. Only got the CA125 down to 471 but nevertheless no evidence of disease on the scan. On Avastin only now. I feel pressure low in my abdomen and like I want to go to the loo all the time. Has anyone else had a clear scan and still had

Hello> CA125 up on Avastin
I've just had it confirmed that my CA125 has gone up by 200 to 593 after my first Avastin with no Carbo and Gem. This would suggest to me that Avastin doesn't work for me. This is probably because we couldn't get my CA125 down to normal so it really didn't stand such a chance. I knew in myself it was

TOTALLY PERPLEXED
After appointment with my oncologist today, I feel totally perplexed and at a loss. My debulking went well, however if would appear that the cancer has spread to my lungs. He could not confirm that it was he fact ovarian cancer on the lung, but could only assume. I am currently on Carboplatin only, he

Paid Research
I thought I'd share an opportunity. I'm taking part in a research project on Tuesday - and will be paid £170. The Fielding Co-ordinator tells me they're looking for one more research associate. Are you currently on Avastin? Can you get to London on Tuesday afternoon to take part in a research project

Ovacome Magazine
HI ladies, I was lucky enough to receive the latest copy of the Ovacome Magazine in the post. There are some interesting snippets of information in it. If anyone would like to borrow it, you can probably pm me through the site. I am in the Cork area. Just a note to admin on the site, while waiting

A little Bonus from Volunteering
I never thought I'd be paid for having ovarian cancer and doing a bit of volunteering but as a thank you a research company gave me £170 to spend an hour answering questions about how I feel about ovarian cancer. It was really interesting and all done in the comfort of my own home! They say they have
