    Avastin

    I'm a member of the uterine cancer board. Although I haven't taken Avastin, I know that a number of the ladies on that site have taken it and have posted comments about their experience with this drug.

    If you go to https://csn.cancer.org/forum/189 and search for Avastin in the "keyword search" box you'll bring up a lot of posts.

    Also you can repost your question there and get some direct responses. The ladies there are always willing to provide support. Please visit us there.
