Use Of Avastin For Macro Degeneration Is Avastin being used for macro degeneration? Thursday, 10/8/2009 9:43:40 PM 2 Replies
Drug Reaction Avastin I was on this drug for seven months with Doxil for recurrent ovarian cancer. I am a 13 year survivor. After the first dose, complained of chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, skin breakouts, nose bleeds, blood clots from my nose, runny nose, aches and pains, all side effects I had read on the Internet. Had a chest x-ray, doppler to rule out PE, saw a pulmonoglist, CT scans of the chest, bronchoscopy and thoracentesis, and skin biopsy (which revealed drug reaction) all other tests negative, yet I still have all of the above problems and in addition, a perforated septum. I was finally taken off the drug and now question what lung damage I have due to this problem, as my GYN/Oncologist has never had a patient with an allergy to the drug. Am inquiring if anyone else has had these symptoms? Tuesday, 7/28/2009 6:07:53 PM Post a Reply
