      <title>RE: interferon and avistan</title>
      <description>Hi,&amp;nbsp; My wife was on Sutent since Jan&amp;#39;07 and then discovered in her latest CT scan that there&amp;#39;re some progression so she was taken off from Sutent about 3 months ago.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She will&amp;nbsp;start on Interferon this&amp;nbsp;coming week.&amp;nbsp; Our&amp;nbsp;oncologist is also thinking (but hesitate to ..)about combining IFN with Avastin but the key concern is to watch for her kidney function (Creatinine &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;BUN as well as&amp;nbsp;protein level&amp;nbsp;in urine).&amp;nbsp; Avastin&amp;nbsp;will&amp;nbsp;have some side effect on a patience&amp;#39;s kidney function so please make sure that you closely monitor that.&amp;nbsp; Would really appreciate for your&amp;nbsp;future updated progress in trying this combined treatments&amp;nbsp;Cheers,Petch&amp;nbsp; </description>
