Hi I was diagnosed with Grade 3c Serous Ovarian Cancer in Jan.2021. After debunking operation and 18 sessions of chemo I am now on Avastin. I find this drug gives me very achy joints. Does anyone else have a similar experience
Hi Blackwell, I'm not from this group, just dropped by and noticed you've not had a reply as yet. Until the members come along and answer I just looked it up and muscle and joint pain seem to be a common side effect of the drug.
Hope someone here gives you some advice on any tips they may have.
Hugs, B xx
