Thank you all for your kind words. I wrote to you all 6 weeks ago with this update,  i thought i will give you our journey and results since then.

Mum started on Avastin straih after she was told that she had regrowth, and has been on that every forthnight. She is still on teodal and has increased her chemo using procarbazine, she is on the 20/8 protocol.

Her mri as of yesterday came back with a reduction of both her tumors, and no new growth.

So some thing is working, and i really recommend avastin as apparently 70% of patients (in oz) show shrinkage.

As long as mum is alive there i hope for a cure, and a new incredibe drug that will buy us more and more time.

My heart goes out to yo all... i can tell you its been a pretty tough couple of weeks, and now i am mentally exhausted...

Yipee however as mum is having her 1 year anniversay tomorrow the 3rd May. I will praise the lord.

Thanks for listening
