Hi,
I have stage IV CRC.
I had a colon resection Nov 06 then it was
discovered I had mets to the liver that they initially said they could
not operate on.
I have had some great results with Avastin.
After
13 Folfiri, 9 with Avastin, almost everything was gone and the surgeon
did a liver resection (65% removed) to remove the ghost areas.
My oncologist said he never saw such results before Avastin.
Now
even though there is No Evidence of Disease I am having another 12
rounds of Folfox4 adjuvant chemo to get rid of any microscopic seeds. I
also take a ton of supplements.
Avastin is quite expensive. In Toronto it cost $2700.00 per treatment.
You should search this forum for other Avastin stories. Another option that has shown to be effective for patients in my support group is Erbitux.
Hope this helps.
Roman
