Dear All

I am 38 years & doing my job.I started chemo on January 2005 & already undergone 19 cycles of cytotoxic chemotherapy covering gemcite,carboplatin,oxaliplatin,paraplatin,docetaxel,xeloda,calyx,5 fu& mytomicin.Also I had taken Geftinib & Nexavar(20 days only as I could not tollerate it)Now I have two Mets on lung while liver is clean.My Afp is increasing by two times every month & is currently 464.

My doctor has advised 3 cycles of avastin & irinocam while I want to take only Avastin due to toxic effects of Irinocam.

Has anybody experienced this combination?Will it be more effective in my case than Avastin alone vis-a-vis negative points?Please reply me.

Pranab
