It has been proposed to me that for sight impact reduction that a course of Avastin (bevacizumab) injections be administered.

Has anyone had experience of this in an uveal melanoma scenario?

The side effects listed are wide ranging and unpleasant. Some by extension I assess could mean additional medication that I really don't want. The rarer side effects are equally unpalatable. That said, the drug is used in other cancers and intravenously so what I am finding may not be sufficiently definitive in invitriol use.

Anyone able to better enlighten?

  • I only ever had one such injection and then I was advised to have Eyelea (I think that’s how it is spelled). No side effects from the one injection and none from the 9-10 Eyelea ones. Perhaps you could enquire re Eyelea?

    all the best with it
