Default Re: New Cancer treatment approved

It is nice to see some new drugs. My onocologist hasn't used Avastin on anyone yet. She is still looking at the results and none of her patients "qualify" for it yet.

The radiation, chemotherapy and surgery on my colon/rectal cancer was pretty bad. And I am still not feeling well. But then it hasn't been a year yet. (well today is a year since I started the radiation and initial chemo.

I am curious as to what the Avastin side effects are. At the stage they are testing/using it on, anything could be better. The 5FU and Lavastin really sucked and they wiped out most of my red and white blood cells.

The radiation, sucked after it was over with. Well towards the end (figuratively and literally) it was causing a lot of pain, but then the tumor wasn't happy.
