    blip?
    17 Oct looks like a blip in the CEA data to me, doubling rates greater than 20-30 days look highly suspicious. Total miss or somebody's transcription error like 170, fat fingered with a double 7?

    tans sorry i missed this as well

    no i saw the lab results, its 1770, the spike was caused by removab, it had stimulated a massive tumour cell die off.

    this was about a week after arriving hallwang. its proof rat and mouse antibodies can be effective against colorectal.

    If it makes you feel any

    If it makes you feel any better, Avastin is not chemo, but rather another monoclonal Ab, si its closer to Removab than chemo....

    thanks tedd

    the side effect profile is pretty scary, doc nesstlehut warned me against systemic avastin, i am taking his advice.

    now locally injected avastin i like, after reading ren blog, the half life of avastin is long. no wonder its had such a good effect on stopping 

    my immune suppressor cells.

    hugs,
