My blood pressure went o high on Avastin (bevacizumab) that I was in the ER several times. I started taking my bp twice a day and sending the results to the oncology department where they were supposed to be treating me. At first the nurses told me to send this info to my cardiologist, which I did, but I didn't top sending the numbers to my oncologist. Finally she called me and took me off Avastin. I was being treated for stage 3 ovarian cancer -- which returned after five years in remission. I have been in "remission" ( don't know if that word is useful anymore) for almost two years now, but my CA 125 is starting to climb and I'm having a CT Scan this week. Avastin is a useful drug for those who can tolerate it. I hope your cancer team is listening to you and paying attention to what you're going through.
