I've been catching my mom crying alot lately, she has been using more pain medication lately and the oncologist said that this could mean that the chemo/avastin may not be working,and that the cancer could be getting more aggressive, my mom describes her pain like a funny feeling, not really a pain but weird feeling along her lower ab area, her liver is quite enlarged, she uses a hot water bottle. She has that pain or funny feeling every 4 hrs, her pain meds help, but she dont always want to be sleeping, because of the meds. she had about 6 treatments of the avastin... not sure what to think???? It's been a year since she was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer, but she just started avastin in sept 2007.
