ONE RIBBON, ALL CANCERS lets make it happen

I've not posted in a long time
but I have a question to ask. I have been on 5fu, Avastin and CPT-11 since June 2010. I lost all my hair (everywhere) after the second treatment. Last month my hair started growing back (I even have eyelashes again). Is this normal? Should I be worried that my onc has cut back my dosage without tell me? Thanks, Debbie in…

My name is Cindy Brady
I treat myself to a milkshake twice a month...gotta have it. The problem is that since I have started on the Folfox + Avastin, my face starts feeling slightly numb during the infusion.
