Marty:

I have the nosebleeds too. It must be Avastin.

Hang in there. You are at the end. Things will be better soon.

My mom takes avastin and it gave her high blood pressure, very high. She now

takes meds to keep it down.

and Marty,

My father was on 15 cycles of Avastin -- he developed high blood pressure after

about 1 year and takes medication for it. He had nosebleeds only twice. But the

biggest concern is the protein level in the urine -- if it's too hight, it means

that the kidneys are not working well. My father had to stop Avastin for a few

months to let the kidneys rest... we hope he can resume it soon since Avastin

really works well to control his tumors.

Hugs,

Nickie

Praying for your dad Nickie.. Is a shame the drugs that work so well to kill

the cancer, are so hard on the healthy part of our bodies as well..

Hugs and Prayers Jolene

Hi ,

My blood pressure has gone up but it was low enough to

start with that there isn't any danger yet. We shall

see what happens later on. I am not worried too much

about blood pressure anyway except if I have a stroke

I hope it kills me outright.

As to the bleeding I have had a lot of blood in my

urin, but I think that may be caused by the stint in

my urator. It is not a big concern to the doctors.

Hi everyone:

For those of you taking Avastin, have you had high

blood pressure?

Mine is up to 160/95 and today they are calling in a

prescription for

medication.

Also, (for women only), have any of you had any

unusual vaginal

bleeding? I have this now and I am off to the gyn

tomorrow.
