ernrol Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I thought I would give you your laugh for the day. Some of you know I started back on Carboplatin and Taxol and yesterday they added Avastin. So I rechecked all the side effects of Avastin, one of them being bleeding. You can have nose bleeds etc. So when I woke up this morning to find what appeared to be dried blood on my pillow, I immediately thought that I am not going to get away with no side effects from Avastin. I jumped up and blew my nose to see if I could see any blood. There was no blood. I do think I got the ear wax out of my ears. All I could think of was when is it going to start to bleed again. After I settled down, I began to think about my tracks of the night before. I remember that I brushed my teeth, went out and had a glass of water, took my melatonin, headed back to bed. But wait, I stopped on the way. As I went passed the cupboard I reach in and sneaked a very small piece of bitter sweet dark chocolate. I then went to bed chewing on the chocolate. Light lightening coming from a nearby cloud, this thought came to me, “I bet those are chocolate stains from my guilty mouth.” So still no side effects. Stay positive, Ernie (the chocoholic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 That'll teach you to eat after brushing your teeth! You do brush your teeth before going to bed, don't you? By the way, I had a few very minor nosebleeds when I was on the taxol/carbo/avastin combo, but I've never had one on avastin alone.
