Does Avastin cause severe fatigue and brain fog?

I was on Avastin for awhile, same as you, every 3 weeks I also had the mouth ulcers Chewing I've chips while getting treatment helped me a lot I also did salt(1/8 teaspoon) and baking soda(1/4 teaspoon) wash 4-5 times a day and used orajel for bad pain when necessary All of that helped Didn't really have any other side effects except brain fog, which I just accept as a part of chemo

The side effects you're describing with Avastin are concerns that many people in the ovarian cancer community share, and it's important to discuss these symptoms with your oncology team to see if there are ways to manage them better. Connecting with others who have been on similar treatment plans can provide valuable support and insights, so hopefully some community members who have experience with Avastin maintenance therapy will share their experiences with you.

I'm sorry you're dealing with all of these side effects. We have cared for patients on a very similar treatment plan, and several of them experienced fatigue, mouth sores, muscle aches, and brain fog as well. First of all, congratulations on your clean PET scan—that's wonderful news. ❤️ If you ever want to explore another opinion or discuss supportive care options, I'd be happy to recommend our team and see if we can help. Wishing you continued strength and recovery.

Thank you all for the feedback. I really appreciate it!!! I keep thinking I’m the only one with all these side effects. I just feel so horrible.

Hi Diana, How long did you stay on Avastin? ( # of treatments?) Are you on something different now? Hope you are doing well❤️ Lannie

Mi L, Hi! Where are you located?? Thanks!

We're based in Chengdu, China. Many of our patients travel here for treatment. Thanks!

I did 6 treatments and then my cancer came back😞 So now I'm on Doxil every 4 weeks and no problems so far
