Avastin for maintenance therapy: Any experiences to share?

Posted by marfish @marfish, Jul 15, 2019

I’m new to the group. I’m starting treatment for first recurrence to include Carbo/Taxol/Avastin, after which I’m supposed to continue Avastin as maintenance. Hoping to hear how this has worked for others. Thank you.

Hi @marfish. I also had 3C ovarian, carbo/taxol, but not Avastin. Also, BRAC negative. I went through the usual surgeries, IV & IP chemos and am currently on metformin. It has been almost 3 months since my last chemo and so far, the cancer has not reappeared. I need to add that I am on a metabolic life style; Mediterranean diet, exercise, meditation, 16 hour fast 5 days/week, all the fun things!

Welcome to Connect, @marfish. I'm tagging @miyonggilman @7429 @starko @mommyjeanne3 and @pat417 on this discussion because they each have experience with bevacizumab (Avastin).

Marfish, what type/stage of cancer do you have?
