Taxol and avastin

jenene

So I have a question for everyone. My husband was on EOX chemo plan. The doctor said he was "not thriving" and some cancer and decreased but some had also spread as well. So they switched him to an off-trial duo drug (taxol and avastin). Has anyone had any experience with these drugs? My husband seems to be doing much better on these drugs, no ascites anymore. But I wonder if they are really doing as well as the other drugs were doing. The doctor originally gave him a couple months to live. I really nhope these drugs are working but I have not heard too much about them. Thanks
