I am post Avastin treatment # 9 and feeling pretty darn good. My CA125 blood test, the marker for ovarian cancer, is at 12 and that is very good considering it was 34 when I was re-diagnosed in May 2011. I have been on "maintenance" treatment since Dec. of 2011. With the help and generosity of Genentech, the maker of Avastin, I plan on staying in remission and on this drug indefinitely. My side effects are minimal compared to chemo, and I am in Dr. Palchak's care which makes me feel solid and confident. Right now I am going to take my doggies Rylee, and Tinkerbell for a walk in the sunshine. Carpe Diem!
