On Friday I had chemo, with Topotecan, Still waiting to hear whether I can have Avastin. Yesterday I felt great, but today I'm cold and shivery and ache all over. Temperature has gone up to 38 C. I'll keep an eye on it, and if still at 38 tomorrow I'll go back to the chemo unit. I feel so miserable and

Why I think Aspirin or Ibuprofen could give longterm remission
I am a retired GP. I was diagnosed with stage 3 PPC (on the ovarian cancer spectrum) in September 2009, and am now in my 2nd remission, since March 2011. From my own experience taking ibuprofen, and from my review of recent medical literature, I am convinced that patients with stage 3 and 4 ovarian

HRT or not
The consultant put me on hrt elleste solo and I'm using
ovestin
cream which are both oestrogen based. I am due my follow up in a couple of weeks time but I am now wondering whether it is wise to go down the hrt route in view of the risk of re-occurrence.

First hand experience of Avastin?
Hi - My partner has OC (stage 4) and we are going through 2nd Line chemo after a remission of about 9 months last time. We were originally told we that were getting Avastin this time round; then, due to admin malfunction, that we weren't. When they thought they couldn't get the drug, docs told my

After the ecstasy and hope of being granted Avastin - the downside...
It has taken me months to write on this site again, because when I was finally granted Avastin back in April/May, I wanted to see how things went before reporting back on what I know is a subject so close to the heart to all of us, and I didn't want either to give unrealistic hopes or dash high expectations

Is it worth removing the floaters in an MD affected eye
I am a 33 year old and I have dry MD in my right eye. In my left one I had wet MD and I had been treated with avastin and lucentis. With regards to my right eye which I only have peripheral vision, do you think that remving the floaters from it is worth the risk? Lately I the amount of floaters increased

Professor Hani Gabra's Presentation - Professor of Medical Oncology - Imperial College - 25 September 2012
I attended a lecture by Professor Hani Gabra at the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre in East Acton. I took notes for Gill (Midwife Gill) who wasn't able to attend but thought it would be helpful to put a résumé of the notes I took as I felt his message was full of hope. Professor Gabra's
