[|Human|] I am 61 yr old female, diagnosed with peritoneal cancer, had total hysterectomy one year ago, followed by six months of chemo, now on Avastin for maintenance. I have had bowel change habits and my doctor isnt concerned.  But, I am.  I am in remission. I have lost a few lbs...but dr not concerned either... help?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Avastin (Bevacizumab) can cause blocked bowels with no movement leading to constipation. It is a severe but infrequent side effect and calls for proper attention and relief of the problem by taking required treatment. In some patients, incomplete or infrequent bowel movements might be experienced. This can cause light discomfort and is a less severe symptom. This being a less severe symptom is not a serious concern. It is better to have soft diet with adequate amount of fruits and vegetables to normalize your bowel movement and avoid processed food.
