"Stage 3 ovarian cancer, 24 rounds of Avastin. I had three infusions during chemo and the rest after while on Lynparza. No problems really. Blood pressure a little high but took meds to control. Protein in urine but Dr. thinks they will bounce back after Avastin is stopped, and my last treatment was yesterday!! Yay me"

"My mother is 56 year old, she is being diagnosed for Stage 4, Ovarian Cancer for last one year. She went through a surgery followed by 6 chemo cycles and had no sign of tumors or malignancy, after first 5 months of chemo therapies. In May 15' there were no signs of cancer coming back and it appeared dramatically in last week of July 15'. Our doctors suggested us to take Avastin, after reading and being counselled about the fatal side effects this medicine can probably have on a patient we were scared to give it to her. But we finally decided to use the drug and she absorbed the medicines nicely, without any sign of considerable side effects except being very tired all the time. I shall be sharing the results one we get another CT done."

"After 12 rounds of Avastin which were effective in bringing down my protein marker CA 125 to 10 to 14. However, I experienced numerous side effects (thankfully not all at the same time) which I was able to handle. Following the 12 rounds I was no longer able to tolerate Avastin as I had very high numbers showing protein in my urine. My oncologist was concerned about kidney damage and I stopped taking this drug."

"I've just finished round 4 of Avastin /doxil.. I have developed painful swelling of my fingers with blisters. Is there any treatment for this? I also have mouth sores. I take L-glutimine, gabapentin and cymbalta. I'm in agony and feel as if I'm being tortured.."

"After being diagnosed with ovarian/peritoneal cancer, I had chemo, major surgery, then more chemo. I am now on Avastin and Olaparib. So far, fingers crossed, my cancer markers are low, so hopefully responding well to drugs. Only concern is, I ache most of the time and all over. Just wondering if this is normal."

"Awful drug for me. Severe headaches caused by spike in blood pressure. Ended up with a mini-stroke from Avastin. Works for some, but monitor your BP carefully"
