I have now been doing chemotherapy with Avastin weekly.I had the
best scan ever..75% reduced cancer cells in my lung and chest area
lymph...no spreading Yea! Being on medicare it is all paid for thank
goodness.So far I havehad virtually no side effects.
I am now going on a trip and the doctor said it could be a long
one.He is giving me a two week infusion of avastin before I
leave.Question: has anyone suffered bad effects when taking a double
dose of avastin.??
Another thing that I just found out is that
in another country I will have to pay $6140 for a two week supply of
avastin!!! I guess that cuts my vacation plans short since I would not
pay such an outrageous amount of money.
Aren't we fortunate,(at
least those with insurance that covers!) to be among the few people in
the entire world who have access to medicines with insane pricetags
like this?????
