Hi
I've recently come off Paxitacol and Carboplatin but am continuing with Bevacizumab (which I was previously having with the chemo). My oncologist was very relaxed about it and said I shouldn't get any side effects. Is this just in comparison to the chemo or genuinely possible? I've been off the chemo over 6 weeks (was on it since March, 7 rounds) and I'm so tired all the time. My allergies seem worse than ever, like I'm constantly brewing a cold that never comes. I do think my 7th chemo was a bit of a blinder, bloods all over the place, rashes etc. How do other people get on with Bevacizumab? I'm on it indefinitely.
Thanks
Hi Annabel
I had paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy for endometrial cancer in 2022.
I found that the chemo took a long time to recover from and I remember being really fatigued and run down. My bloods were also out of kilter for some time. It sounds like it is still early days for you at 6 weeks and if your experience is similar to mine with chemo you would be starting to feel more human within a couple of months.
I have not had experience of Bevacizumab but I have found the following that may help.
You are welcome to give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses about the bevacizumab if it would help.

I hope that you soon start to feel more yourself after the chemo and that the Bevacizumab does not cause you too many side effects.
