Good News
I've been on Avastin/Erbitux monotherapy for about a month. saw the ONC yestrday, and CEA has come down from 18 to 6! Although inconclusive w/o scans to confirm reduction/growth of tumors,this is good news. the Onc was more suprised than anyone, because I'm not EGFR positive which is supposed to be one of the prerequisites for this
protocol.
Anyway, this the first good news in a long time.

yes Kanga..the change has been good for my spirit, inasmuch that I have some friends here (new and old) who keep me outside of myself. budkangatoo said:Well done Bud....must be that bit of humour that has it's benefits too mate.Was gunna ask you.

Thats really really great news. Are you on any chemotherapy with this. are there many people out there taking both avastin and Erbitux?
Does anybody know of any site that has data?stats about this combined treatment?
That isa some good result.
