    God Bless you and everyone else on these boards. My husband is just getting ready to start his chemo. Good luck with your scans. We have just begun our battle but already know the stress and anxiety waiting for results can cause. I will keep you ( and all) in our prayers. I thank God this site exists so I can aks advise and seek comfort.

    hello there. have had no problems with avastin. it can cause protien in urine, blood pressure increase, and the worst is stroke. all these have not affected me thank the Lord.
