Please leave a comment if you or your loved one has used the Avastin cancer drug.

We would love to hear answers on the following Avastin questions

• how effective is Avastin?
   
• for which cancer did you use the Avastin cancer drug?
   
• was Avastin given by itself or mixed with other chemotherapy?
   
• in case of Taxol and Avastin chemotherapy: what-how is the survival after Taxol and Avastin?
   
• in case of Avastin and Zeloda - Xeloda chemotherapy: what - how - how long is the survival after Avastin and Zeloda - Xeloda?
   
• what were the Avastin side effects?
   
• what was the Avastin cost and how did your health insurance intervene?
   
• are you an Avastin cancer survivor?

The above Avastin questions are related to Amanda’s question to Kistan2, commented at Avastin for metastatic liver cancer:

Kistan2,

 

I am really interested in speaking to people who have found Avastin did not help with their treatment.

 

I am looking at whether it is as effective as people are told it will be.

Lesly shares how she is living the last days together with the only love of her live who is suffering with metastatic liver cancer. She left her condolences in a comment at Patrick’s post who very recently lost his father due to metastatic liver cancer.

Thanks to the cancer stories you leave on our blog, people that go the same path don’t have to walk it alone.

Thanks Lesly, Patrick and all others for

contributing to the life of others!

Like you say Lesly, love indeed is a beautiful thing. It gives the motivation to do the things needed to be done when you take care of your loved one.

51 is way too young to go I find, be it due to cancer or any other disease.

Cherish the precious time together as long as you can with as much love as you have to give.

All our hugs go to you Lesly.

Lesly’s metastatic liver cancer story

My heart goes out to you Patrick and your father.

 

I am presently losing the only love of my life to the same disease and I am here with him ever day at age 51.

 

Your story is so inspirational to me and helps me to deal with what the days will bring.

 

Love is a beautiful thing and having had that in my lifetime is very completing to me.

 

Like I found what God has always said is the answer to life.

 

Thanks for writing your story for others to share.

 

Lesly

Charlotte’s father’s cancer starts resisting the chemotherapy he gets to cure his colon cancer and secondary liver cancer. In here comment at More news from Trish - metastatic liver cancer survivor, she aks:

What do you say to man who is going to die?

How would you answer that question? Please leave a comment.

When father diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer we were shocked but upbeat and kept talking about finding a cure.

But when after a few days of more tests, biopsy and scans the oncologist said that chemotherapy would most likely kill my father, we just became all very silent. Exactly, what do you say now?

We never found the right words to put father’s mood back to where it was. All we did was managing to put a smile on his face once in a while by doing the things he loved to do (with us).

Maybe the inspiration can be found in the last words father said to mother a few hours when he died:

When I have to do it all over again,
I will do it again with you.

Charlotte’s metastatic liver cancer story

I have just got back from the hospital with my dad. He was diagnosed with bowel and secondary liver cancer some time ago.

 

Now, after 12 months of intensive chemotherapy and an operation to remove his tumor in his bowel, we have learned today that the liver has not responded to treatment.

 

More chemotherapy has been offered and without it survival rate is less than twelve months.

 

More cancer cells have appeared since the operation and the chemo, so we are obviously devastated to hear in theory this is the end of the road.

 

Seeing my dad turn yellow and in pain is terrible, and no words can comfort him, what do you say to man who is going to die!
