  I have been on avastin since December, 2012. I am having surgery in 4 weeks, so this weekend is my last dose until 4 weeks after surgery. I'm very nervous about this. I have colon cancer in my liver, and it has shrunk considerably since December. I have had no side effects, and I am teaching full time again.
