Bonnie... did the Avastin give you a remission? How many treatments did you have and how were they administered. My Mom will have it every 3 weeks. Tks Liz

    Remission is a word that hasn't been used for me. But it did starve off a lot of the tumors and I have less cancer than b4 I tried it. I had it every 2 weeks along with daily cytoxan, and got 12 treatments total. I did get really bad headaches adn had high blood pressure the whole time, even on medication. But it was worth it, I am sure I would not still be here if we hadn't used it.

    Pray it is the one that works for your mom.

    Hugs N Prayers Bonnie

    Thank you Bonnie... she is having abdominal pain.. the Dr. says this isn´t because of the drugs he thinks it may be the cancer. Any comments on this?
