Replies to "Is the maintenance treatment with bevacizumab a choice of yours? I had the same first line..."
I’m not sure you meant this question for me, but I’ll assume so. My oncologist recommended bevacizumab every three weeks for two years as maintenance therapy. My philosophy on fighting cancer is to take every treatment possible. If it could help me survive longer, I want it. I have high blood pressure, too, but it’s well controlled on losartan. My neuropathy is bothersome, but my biggest problem is fatigue. I’m not sure whether it is residual from the chemo which ended late April, or whether it’s from the bev.
I can’t do anything anymore. In order to cook, I have to sit on a stool. I used to walk for exercise. Can’t anymore. It’s getting depressing. And so hard to accept! A fellow sister in teal recommended a physiatrist and a physical therapist who both specialize in cancer patients. I have appts with both of them soon. I hope they can help.
The first time I went through chemo, I never had any fatigue. I was still working. And walking. And cooking. I was working on my first quilt, for my first grandchild. I haven’t touched it in five months. He’s three months old now.
