About to start taxol + carboplatin + avastin...
Next week and getting a bit anxious about side effects. Am based in Hong Kong so the regimen may be different from you all. Has anyone had all three drugs together? It will be taxol carboplatin and avastin every three weeks, and taxol every week. Has anyone got similar experience?

Has anyone else had this?
I've read all your posts for going on two years now. Some of them are truly inspiring. I've never contributed until now. My wife Ingrid was diagnosed with grade IIIc 3 1/2 years ago. At that time they gave her "months". Her cancer is low grade, but her tumours are calcifying i.e. turning to bone. They

Hello everyone hope you are managing to enjoy some sunshine and avoid the showers. I thought I would post a little bit of an update.

CA125 down a bit from 1058 to 952
Has anyone on the GEM, Carbo, Avastin regime found it is a gradual reduction in CA125 or has everyone else had a really big drop after the first one? I'm really glad it's gone down but was really hoping it would be more than that. I feel afraid that I'm becoming platinum resistant or am I just being

new drugs trial in Holland proves good news for us patients
Just googling, too much time on my hands but always open to new articles like us all on Ovarian Cancer, Today the Mail on line has an article you can google. Ir would seem that new trials of cisplatin and etopside have done very well in comparison to trials with Avastin if I am reading this correctly

Avastin
Judging by the number of people who are getting good results on Avastin it looks like there is hope for the more successful treatment of ovarian cancer in the future.

CA125 raised and having to play the waiting game!
I finished all my treatment including a course of Avastin in June 2013. I had been diagnosed 5/4/12 with stage 3c OC. I had a slight problem with the Avastin around treatment 15 so they stopped. I was and am fairly healthy as am a full time postie! After Christmas I started feeling not right with

Rollercoaster ride
Here we are again, trying to remain positive but feel extremely nervous this time. 4th recurrence in 4 years. Had 3 different types of chemo, Avastin and finished 5 weeks of radiotherapy last November, Scans were good I'm told apart from 1 small area at the original site Looking at op now.

I've been starting to get back pain in my liver area for a while but since having my gem, carbo and avastin (last Tuesday) it's getting really bad. I have got some cancer on the outside of my liver so I hope it's that being destroyed but I keep worrying that the cancer has started on the inside of the

Had Gem, Carbo and Avastin Tuesday
Not feeling too bad at all, not taking the anti-sickness tablets as they make me sooo constipated but not feeling sick at all. Energy much better today so back at work. Do you all get given antibiotics to take as a matter of course from day 8? I have attached a photo of my friends and I at the coffee

Cancer is back confirmed by CT scan
It is in the abdomen, several little bits but not in lymph nodes or in any other organs. Chemotherapy soon with Avastin hopefully. Not surprised as CA125 was 1058 but still leaves you feeling rather shaky and upset. Here we go again with the fight! Lovis

I have had GCT 6 times in the past 10 years. I have had been treated with chemo, and Avastin but keeps coming back. So tired of fighting
This crap! Anybody else have this many reoccurrences? Feeling a little discouraged. Everytime I have surgery it takes longer and longer to heal. I have pain from a lot from all the scar tissue. Just hoping to connect with someone else who's had many reoccurances.
