Stable Tumor...Similar Treatment...Why??

My husband (dx. 8/07) did the standard treatment, as well.  He did 2 months of the 5/23 Temodar and the doctors at Duke began him on the CPT-11/Avastin regimen.  He completed two 6 week cycles of this and now are now continuing the CPT-11/Avastin and adding back Temodar 5/23 along with it, for 8 weeks.  MRI's have been good.  The first two showed shrinkage and this last one was stable.  He is doing pretty well with these two treatment methods melded at the same time.  I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but the docs at Duke wanted to give it a try and see what results we could get.  The doctors at Duke coordinate my husband's treatment with our local oncologist.  It's great!
