Avastin
I'm so sorry, 3Mana. I'm reading at Chemocare.com, and I see that hemorrhage is listed as one of the rare complications from this drug. It must have been awful for you

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I just wanted to respond as I have been on Avastin. I know that they warned me right from the start , that, Avastin could cause bleeding problems. I couldnt even make a dental appointment for a routine cleaning, for fear that the avastin may have thinned the blood.That is one of the risks of taking these drugs, you just never know.It scares me to be taking all these treatments, but, I dont like the alternative. I want to live ! Just as your husband did....which is why we take the risk. Again, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.0 -

Sunshine,
Try to think positive. The complication my husband had was very "RARE". It was just such a shock cause things seemed to be looking better. He had just been diagnosed in January, so we didn't have time to prepare.
Keep in touch so I know how you're doing!! I'll say a prayrer for you!!0
