    Great News!

    I know it must be a relief to know  that the Folfox plus Avastin have  done what they were supposed to do and that the neuropathy, mouth sores and the other side effects  he suffered  weren't for nothing.  I hope  all his treatments  do as well and with fewer  side-effects.

    Such good news.  May his results continue to be good, and his lung mets shrink even more. 

    Give him a hug for me.

    Congratulations, go chemo. Does Avastin continue after the treatment course? Haven't seen or heard about any rough effects from it.................Dave

    Dave, Unfortunately my

    Dave, Unfortunately my husband will have to have chemo the rest of his life.  Onc. said he will stay on folfox/with avastin until it quits working and then go to something else.  Chemo is the only thing that is keeping ahead of the 'game of cancer'.  At least this is the plan right now, in a couple of years he said we could evaluate the chemo.
