Avastin
Hi everyone I wondered what anyone's experience was of
Avastin
? It's been suggested to me but as I feel I'm doing well (chemo,op, chemo) I'm not convinced that the benefits out weight the side effects etc. Decisions, decisions!! Thanks, Sue

Is anyone taking Avastin as well as Taxol/Carboplatin as part of their Chemo regime?
It was suggested by my oncologist that given the advanced nature of my condition that there might be some advantge in combining
Avastin
to my chemo regime.

After a hysterectomy and chemo I had excellent scan results but my cancer has come back very quickly.
3 months after finishing carboplatin/taxol/
avastin
chemo my CA125 has started to rise. It had been stable at around 17 and then in 3 weeks jumped to 51. I'm on maintenance chemo having
Avastin
every 3 weeks but now it looks as though this isn't working.

I am still around !!!!!!
I am on new chemo, the
Avastin
I have had to come off it, as if I need surgery on the bowel I have to wait 6 weeks to get the drug out of the system first. So I am now back on the dreadful stuff, Taxol, where I am losing my hair, eye lashes and eyebrows.

New to this, but would really like some help x
I have completed 6 sessions of chemopherapy (pemetrexed,
avastin
and carboplatin) . I thought that would be it, however, have been told in order to prolong my life I need to remain on chemo indefinitely (
avastin
and pemetrexed).

Fantastic Chemo Response - Was it the Curcumin?
Another scan was taken at the end of the chemo and the
Avastin
treatment was started.

Second opinion and poetry
The most interesting thing was
Avastin
, but because of the way it works, it hasn't been shown to help women who have responded well to chemo and have no active disease of more than 1cm.

Cancer Coming Back!! Please give any advice on Weekly Taxol.
(Gemcitibine and treosulfan) and being only on
avastin
, my CA125 has gone up slowly. It is now 77 and my Oncologist feels the cancer is trying to start again, and the
avastin
isnt doing the trick. So back on the chemo.

Avastin - is it an urban myth?
I asked about
Avastin
, could this be considered alongside the Carboplatin? The response was, 'not in this country, it is not available. Don't believe all that drug company hype. It is not used in this country as it is not funded'.

Avastin decision
What bothers me most is I have read that after
avastin
treatment ends, if the tumours do come back they come back with a vengeance. Quite simply is there any evidence for this? Thanks

We're applying for Avastin! Wish us luck!
I asked about the possibility of applying to the cancer drugs fund for
avastin
, fully expecting the onc to try and put me off ( don't know why?! ) But she was really positive and is going to apply for the drug for my mum - I'm delighted.

HOW INSPIRING YOU ALL ARE - I WANT TO THANK YOU
I have just asked my oncologist for help in getting
Avastin
. I don´t know yet whether or not I will as here in Wales we do not have a "Drug Fund". I want to thank you all for your inspiration whether I have felt up or down.
