After three years on Avastin, it stopped working for me. PET shows new spots on left lung.  So, I have appointment on the 6th with my clinicial trial doctor to select a drug. I have a kras mutation so I'm told it will probably be some kind of inhibitor in pill form. I don't know. I'm a little down. Disappointed Avastin stopped working but thankful for the time it gave me. I will let y'all know what's next when I know.

    I'm a visitor from the uterine cancer board and noticed that you hadn't had any responses yet, so decided to chime in. I follow the immunotherapy news closely and notice that they're getting excellent results with immunotherapy in colorectol cancer with the KRAS mutation. I'm so sorry Avastin stopped working for you but it seems there are excellent, and very hopeful, choices out there and the options are expanding daily. Best wishes as you move forward!
