Thanks for the additional information, @jo72. I moved your question to the Gynecologic Cancers support group here: connect.mayoclinic.org/group/gynecologic-cancer/

And am tagging members like @starko @katherinehayes @cancerback @rainna @rlg @corday7578 @katycot @jodimj @lathomasmd, who also have experience with bevacizumab (Avastin) as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer.

Are you continuing with Avastin? How are you tolerating it?

I’m continuing on Avastin so far. Chemo ended last August and I’ve been on just Avastin since then. My oncologist just told me how lucky I am because it’s stopped the tumors from growing longer than it usually does. He’d failed to tell me that before so that was a bit tough. But I just had my periodic CT scan and they’re still unchanged.

Thanks so much! 🙏🏽 I’m still trying to figure out how this works and how to connect to people.
