Welcome to Connect, @miyonggilman. Will you return to AZ for your checkup in June or is your cancer care followed locally in WA when you're not near Mayo Clinic?

Hello All,
I have a question for those of you who are on Avastin.
My incredible Mayo oncologist recommended Olaparib as a post chemo/surgery medication for my stage 3C cancer, but I find the copay is $2200+ per month. Outrageous!
So...
Is bevacizumab (Avastin) equivalent to Olaparib? Cheaper?

I'll have my follow up care in Lacey Wa. Then go to Tucson in Oct. and continue whatever is necessary in this cancer journey. In Dec 18, I had surgery hysterectomy and oophorectomy at St Mary's in Tucson. My oncologist said, I am cured. My last CA 125 was 6. But being diagnosed with occc is never easy.
