What a great question! I wish I had an answer for you..My mom has 4 stage ovarian cancer. And has tried different combinations of chemotherapy.
It not only affects the cancer cells,but also the normal cells .she has scar tissue in her lungs from chemo and now having heart issues tachycardia and irregular beats is on Dilitazam now increased by her Cardiologist.
Its giving her a headache.
There is a holistic Hospital in Phoenix Arizona called New Hope.
I spoke with a representative who was very nice.your dr would send them all your medical records. And they would let you know if there was a plan of care for Treatment there. It was on information sheet on one of my mom's chemotherapy medication handout. I talked with her about it but her 98 yr husband was a concern. And her Dr said that would be the last resort. If he had no more tricks in his bag.
Not sure if that helps. I would like to connect with those we have gone this holistic route.

I'm on Avastin indefinitely or until I get another recurrence. Side effects are minimal this go round. Chills and sweating on and off. Feels like I'm going thru menopause which I did starting in my mid 40s so now at 80 years old it's weird to have those symptoms again. Also slight headache now and then and backache but if it keeps cancer from recurring or puts it off then I'm ok with it. Also lately blurry vision while reading or writing or watching TV. But I'm still alive and that's what counts.

This is my maintenance plan I started with Avastin every 3 weeks and Taxol every 6 weeks. Now with good results I’m doing Avastin every 4 weeks with taxol every 6 weeks. I do a PET scan in late July to see how it is doing.

I was mistaken, Lynparza was the maintenance drug they tried that did nothing, the cancers just worked their way around it. Currently on Avastin three weeks in a row, then off a week with Taxol two of those. I’ve completed 4 cycles so far, with few side effects, hair loss again, oh well, that’s better than the side effects of previous chemos! Two more cycles to complete and then another CT to see how things have progressed and hopefully shrunk. 🙏🏻 May CA 125 is great, only 8! Hopefully CT will also be good news.

I presently am on Avastin every three weeks for maintenance with limited side effects the thing that’s kicking my is Lynpraza twice a day. It’s rally messing with my blood counts. But when I was on the heavy duty chemo Avastin was one of the drugs that helped me get into remission.
