Went for 2nd maintenance and kidney numbers too high. Does this happen a lot?

Good morning chocolatemilk44

Thank you for your post. I'm sorry you've not had any responses to your question yet, I'm sure the forum community may be along soon to share their experiences with you.

I can see from your previous post that your maintenance treatment is Avastin (bevacizumab). I was sorry to hear that you've been told your kidney numbers are raised. Cancer Research UK have some information about the side effects of bevacizumab here on their website: cancerresearchuk.org/about-... . This outlines that regular tests should be done to check kidney function.

Have you had an opportunity to discuss these results with a member of your clinical team? They should be able to provide you with some personalised guidance as to the cause of the raise and offer you advice in relation to your individual circumstances and medical history. We are here to help you plan or prepare for any future appointments if you think that could be useful?

We are here to support you so please don't hesitate to get in touch if there's anything we may be able to help with or any information we can provide. You can message us directly here on the forum, email [e-mail] or call our support line on ([phone]. We're here Monday - Friday, 10am - 5pm, with full details of our support services available on our website: ovacome.org.uk/Pages/Catego... .

Best wishes
