Hi I’m new here. Is anyone else on Bevacizumab ? I’ve to have this treatment every three weeks, I’ve had one and my next is due on Friday I seemed to be really well for the first twelve days and now i am exhausted. I am even falling asleep sitting watching tv or on my phone one minute and before I know it I’m waking up sitting in the same position even with my phone in hand. I’m still sleeping well at night I’m in bed for 10pm and that’s me until my alarm goes at 6 to get up and get prepared before I wake my child for school at 7. I’m just wondering if this is a side effect? Thanks if you manage to read this and i wish you all well

  • Thank you for the helpful information. I have my consultant tomorrow, i will mention how tired I am also I’ve read about the backpain,the pain in my back is really painful but it was discovered I had a fracture to the back after my last scan and I’ve just been thinking it wasn’t healing so I will mention that too. Thank you

  • Teresa stop apologising, It must be nice taking care of your nephew though can imagine the reason why you do was difficult. We are going to Fort William to see family, my aunt and her partner are celebrating 60 years together, though i am originally from Oban have lived in Yorkshire for over 50 years but it's always nice going back, though  the 7 hour drive is a bit of a pain, take care.

  • Have a great weekend and the celebrations. Hopefully the traffic isn’t too bad. I have my consultant at 10.45 I’m wondering why as it’s always a telephone appointment. I will look forward to hearing how your weekend goes xx

    The reason you're given a time for a telephone appointment is so that it is scheduled on a clinic list as a task for the health professional. Also so that it gives the patient an estimate of the time. I used to work in this type of setting. Hope your appointment goes well.
