Hello @mommyjeanne3 and welcome to Mayo Connect and to the discussion group on Ovarian Cancer.

It sounds like you have experienced a lot of treatments in your journey with cancer. While you wait for others in this group (@rochellewisner @starko @falconfly @odette) to reply to your post, I'd like to say how happy I am that the Avastin has not affected your appetite or your ability to sleep and exercise.

Will next week's Avastin be your second treatment?
