I am starting Avastin treatment this coming Wednesday and was hoping to hear from others about their experiences with it. I had been taking Sutent 50 mg for 12 cycles (28 days/14 days) but in Feb. starting having severe pain my chest. A CAT scan showed a tumor in my left lung had grown from 1.4 cm to 2.4 cm in two months. Anyway, whatever info you can share is greatly appreciated.
My mom started Avastin in January 08 for lung cancer and has had positive results. Her first few treatments left her very, very tired but now when she has her chemo she is up the next day. She is one of the few that I know who feel better on chemo than without it. Good luck with your treatments. I sure hope you get positive results as well.
