3 days agoI had ovarian cancer in 2022 with a complete hysterectomy and 6 cycles of carboplatin and taxill. I now have a tumor on my stomach and near my bowels with enlarged lymph nodes. No biopsy was done because the tumors can’t be reached. One is near a large vein and the other near my bowels. My CA-125 numbers are going up too. 6 cycles of chemo start this Wednesday with Avastin Has anyone had bad side affects from Avastin?

2 days agoOvarian cancer can unfortunately spread to other areas of the abdomen, including the stomach and bowel regions, which is why ongoing monitoring and treatment are so important. Many community members have shared experiences with Avastin, and while side effects can vary from person to person, having an open conversation with your care team about what to expect can help you prepare and manage any symptoms that might arise. Your strength in facing this next phase of treatment is evident, and this community is here to support you through the journey ahead.

2 days agoI’ve been on Avastin alone since 2/2024 and really haven’t had any bad side effects. I do still have very little taste or appetite and some neuropathy but could still be from the chemo I started 7/2023. I couldn’t take Taxol so Avastin was the 3rd drug. Lynparza made my legs swell terribly in February 2026 so for now I’m staying on Avastin and I’m lucky that it seems to be working to keep my cancer away. Wishing you the very best.
