An update on my sister who is being treated at Duke.  She completed the avastin/cpt-11 and had a clear scan on 3/08, and has been off treatment since then.  Other than fatigue and some minor headaches she is doing well,...now 22 months after dx.

That is great news! Did she have several clear scan prior to going off treatment?

Pay close attention to those headaches-- that could be a bad sign. Headaches can mean re-growth-- especially if they're happening in the mornings.

thanks for the response.  She did have several clear mri's and then a clear pet scan which is, from what I understand, more revealing.
