Not sure I spelt it correctly...I would like to hear from someone who has had a similar experience from mine. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3 ; had 4 chemio then surgery then other 2 chemio and I m continuing every 3 weeks since then with this drug called BEV. On completion of my chemio 6 sessions I still had a few millimeters (seen on CT scan) of cancer on peritoneal tissues. They are shrinking. I had 5 sessions of BEV. Has anyone had more sessions and as result eradicated cancer to the point that was not shown on CTscan?
Thank you
Hi Peonia
It’s Bevacizumab, and although I had a different cancer and a different treatment, I’ve seen it mentioned often in the forum so I hope you’ll receive some helpful replies. I hope you continue to do well with your treatment, and it sound like you’re having some positive results so far.

Hello.
I’m getting beyond anxious waiting for my hospital to call me in for further biopsies so Im a little behind you.
Peritoneal nodules were found back at the end of November and now a mass on one of my ovaries.
So I’m sitting waiting for the results of mdt to get back to me.
It’s good ( well you know what I mean….of course it’s not good ) to make contact with someone in a similar position.
Please take care.

You can reply directly to a person by hitting the “reply” button on their post, or you can tag them by using the “@“ symbol directly before their name when you are writing a reply.
Anyone can look at this thread, or any thread in the group, and see all the posts, so your posts will be seen by others.
I know how hard it is to wait for things-I’ve been through difficult waits myself over the years, but they are unavoidable in the diagnostic process and beyond. Everything seems to involve a wait, and the wait always seems long.
It’s best to try and keep yourself distracted in the best way you can as you wait. You are waiting to get an appointment for biopsies, so there’s a wait for that, and then there will be a wait for the results and for your case to be discussed at the MDT (multi disciplinary team meeting). Once a decision is made about next steps, then you wait for an appointment to discuss this.
