Just a heads up to anyone who is thinking of taking it. There's a new report on the Dr. Susan Love website that the drug has failed to provide any benefit to breast cancer patients, and is being pulled from the arsenal.
It always came with a dangerous menu of possible side effects, anyway.

Unluckily, I lost faith in Dr. Susan Love when she said she didn't "do" bi-lateral mastectomies. Threw the book across the floor, I did! She has failed me actually on several counts.

How are you doing gentlearts?

I have a friend who took Avastin for ovarian cancer. Is it still recommended for other types of cancer besides breast cancer?

Not up on this Dr Susan Love but I would not base my decisions solely on the advice of ANY one single doctor.

She wrote "The Breast Book", and she coordinates The Army of Women breast cancer reearch center.

I neither applaud nor condemn her offhand. My points stands regardless: I would not base my decisions solely on the advice of ANY one single doctor.
