    Thanks for the posting and the stats were very impressive. Let's put Dennis in the plus column for that study, he was in the Avastin study and today is NED.
    Thanks

    The pathology report after the RFA of my last liver tumor showed mostly dead tissue (some cancer too, but less than the dead tissue) and that is thank to Avastin.

    This is a miracle drug,

    That is great news. I was DX stage IV just this week w/METS to my liver. I start Folfox with avastin next Friday.

    It give me so much hope seeing improvement in the drugs available today.

    Great info. I believe that Avastin has helped my husband get to the point of liver wedge resections in 2 weeks . If you read my previous posts, not operable for 8 mos, however since chemo including avastin, surgery scheduled oct 11 . I believe the avastin helped tremendously in shrinking the mets. God Bless and keep the faith.

    Just read the stats and those are amazing!. I was on FOLFOX and Avastin for my stage III. Oncologist wanted to bring out the "big guns" since I had a "very scary rectal tumor".
