 I was unblinded today, i was Arm B (E5103) so no more avastin for me. I had one side effect from it and that was very slow wound healing. My incision for my port which i got at the end of may 08 - just healed completely last week. No nose bleeds, rashes etc.... I see a light. I really needed to hear this today, For the past 6 months i feel like i have been constantly kicked in the you know what. It's almost like winning the lotto. I realize that it's all still a "crap shoot" but it makes me feel better knowing i was part of a study that could help millions.

    Erika,

    I am so verrrrrrrrry proud of your courage and strength that you have shown with your journey. You have made a contribution toward medical history and you should be proud to share this with your children aswhen they get a little older and have a better understanding of what you have gone through to make life a better place for them and others. I am excited you received the Avastin and hope it provides a better, cancer free, life for you. Please stop in and share your progress in the latter part of your journey and maybe help other woman just starting theirs.

     many hugs to one brave woman!!
