There is a rather in-depth article in todays online NY Times about Avastin and it includes some back story for how it came to be used in fighting Brain Tumors. Here is a link.

Hi Brandon, thanks for the link.   It's an interesting article.  Wish it had contained further info about the use of Avastin for brain cancer.  There still isn't much information out there.

Take care Brandon.

Thanks for the link.  We will be starting Avastin in a few weeks, and I now know more about what it is and what to expect.
