Hi I have been receiving bevicazumah (excuse spelling) for a few months every three weeks. Recently I keep having too much protein in my urine and two weeks ago the same again although my bp was far too high so i wasn’t allowed treatment. This week I’m doing another 24 hour urine specimen today and first thing in morning on Tuesday I have a ct scan, blood tests on Wednesday a face to face appointment with my consultant on Thursday and they will decide if I can have treatment on Friday or if they have to look at other treatment options for men if there is any. Has anyone else found their self in same situation? I am terrified incase this is the end of treatment and I’m trying to put a brave face on for my kids but I have no one else to talk to about this thanks if you’ve managed to read this far and would be greatful to hear from anyone else going through similar
Hi Minmax yeah it definitely is I can be full of energy one day and be exhausted the next, I think we are all the same. Thanks very much I will update on Thursday once I’ve had my face to face with my consultant. How you have a lovely day xx

Hi Teresa, sorry for the late response 3 hospitals today. Though born in Oban, have lived in Yorkshire 52 years, in a village called Bentley near Doncaster, the hottest, sunniest, driest place in northern England, I also lived in Glasgow for 6 months when I was young, I'm glad your leaving your sign off it's how I remembered you from 5 months ago. I hope your trip to the hospital went smoothly, now the wait, will have everything crossed they bring good news

Wow three hospitals that is a lot. I’ve heard of Bentley although never been. Scan went well and they’ve said although my consultant won’t have the results for a couple of weeks she should be able to access the images on Thursday so fingers crossed for a good outcome and if not we will deal with it the same as other times by accepting it and moving on. Hopefully I can go back on my own treatment again or they can come up with a suitable one. I’ve still got plenty fight left in me so that’s got to be a good sign right lol roll on Thursday to get it over with for now I hate the waiting. Hope you’re ok tonight you must be exhausted going from hospital to hospital xx

Hi Teresa, glad to hear your scan went well, now the waiting, which is not nice, but that's great your consultant can view your scans so soon, but I prefer to wait for the radiologists assessment, but good luck anyway, and I love your positive attitude and that you have plenty of fight in you.
Nobody comes to Bentley for their Hols, Teresa, there is also a Bentley in Hampshire,
I am tired, was out all day, fortunately I can drive so saves a lot of time, only at hospital twice tomorrow and hospice also, what will you be doing to help with the waiting, I try to keep busy, best wishes.

Hi Kate, Nice to see you post again and hope you continue to improve.
Maybe Karen, you and I should try for a meet-up! Do you ever go to Glasgow Fort? It is not far from me along the M8. Maybe we could give it some thought while I am away on holiday? What do you think?
Anyone else that could manage would be more than welcome of course! Watch this space!
Love Annette x
Hi Kate, I got Newton Stewart mixed up with Newton Mearns,sorry! Of course it would be too far to come, especially during winter but maybe we could organise something for spring!
Love Annette x
