I am a 43 year old with metastatic ovarian cancer that has spread to areas around the abdomen/pelvis and lungs. I was previously treated with carboplatnin and doxel, then topotekan (hycamptin). Now my oncologist wants to try Avastin. My surgeon/oncologist told me that Avastin should be combined with another chemo drug such as Gemsar.
Has anyone here used Avastin? From what I gather, it's mainly used to treat colon cancers, but some success has been found in it's use for ovarian. Thanks!
