For Ovarian Cancer "Did not work. 3.5 weeks after being taken off the drug, ended up in the ER with a hypertensive crisis. I was treated to lower the pressure, then sent home. Second night, had a mini-stroke at home, rushed to the hospital with extremely high BP, max headache. I had a headache like a strong migraine for 3 months straight. Always worse when I got treatment. A bad headache also increases BP. I had low BP prior to taking this drug - now I have to continually monitor my pressure so I do not get a full-on stroke. Be very careful taking this - watch your BP."
