Infusions and side effects
Is there anyone who has undergone the Avastin (immunology) infusions, who stopped them because of the side effects, but not at the instigation of the oncologists. It was their own decision. Did they experience serious consequences from interrupting the infusions? Also how did this impact on their treatment

Avastin...hmmm
Hi all, it's been awhile since I've been on here, so I will refresh all of you with my journey with cancer. I had Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer stage 3C, negative Brca. I did 6 rounds chemo, & also had a total hysterectomy. In fact today is my 1 year anniversary of that surgery, 9/8/ 22. I was then put

EFFECTS OF TREATMENT
Just a quick question - have any of those undergoing treatment with Avastin experienced bite like skin eruptions that don't seem to heal (dry but similar in look to an ulcer), problems with hearing and excess mucus? Our oncologist is on holiday and the present stand in is less than sympatico and/or

Update on Mum- recurrence is appendix cancer not OC, olaparib and avastin stopped.
Good morning everyone. Hope you’re keeping as well as can be.. So after Mums CT and recurrence (as some of you may remember) she has had a biopsy and they have confirmed that the plaque like recurrence near her bladder and bowel is from the appendix cancer (that they found in debulk for OC) and not

Losing my resolve and feeling defeated.
I have always tried to be positive and strong but I fear this last diagnosis 3 reoccurrence in less than 3 years, has really kicked me in the gut. I have had one round of Cisplatin/Gemzar and then one week later just Gemzar. The pet scan showed all in my lymph nodes and around omentum and possibly

Avastin Sore Mouth
Hi there, my mum has had 2 infusions of Avastin and although seems to be tolerating it well she has developed a really sore mouth and eating is really painful. Can anyone recommend anything to help and does this settle down as the treatment progresses? Thanks in advance for any advice. Ashleigh x

AMD Injection Procedure
This is based on a response I gave to a regular poster that I think may be of more general interest, especially to those who have not yet had an injection or who are experiencing post injection discomfort. Note that the following applies to wet AMD only. I’ve been having injections for wet AMD for

Hi ladies confused 🤔avastin question?
I'm getting my 3rd chemo tomorrow and just read that avastin isn't offered if you have more than 2 chemotherapy treatments? Is this a mistake? I haven't had my operation yet and scan is booked after 3rd to see if I'm ready so couldn't start avastin til after that as it doesn't help with healing. Anyone

Avastin and Olaparib

Is this it?
I saw my oncologist today, and as I thought the Anastrazole isn't working. Having already had Carbo/Taxol, Avastin and Carbo/Caelyx all he has left in his arsenal is weekly Taxol. Can you please tell me how you managed with this, and whether it was worthwhile. He said that I probably only have about

PET scans
I had 4 rounds of chemo for my stage 3c peritoneal/ovarian cancer. The ca125 dropped to 128. Following surgery it was 424 and then 400 but the ct scan was clear so I was started on Avastin alone. However ca 125 has now risen to 565, I don’t normally like to be ‘pushy’ but I did question my oncologist

What happened to you after Avastin?
I'll be on Avastin as a maintenance treatment for one to two years. I'm just wondering what happened to others at the end of their maintenance? Thank you all. This site is so helpful and reassuring.❤️
