If she has wet macular degneration and AVASTIN or LUCENTIS is indicated, then there is no other effective alternative treatment. I'm sorry. Avastin is about 20 times cheaper than Lucentis (which is the same drug but packaged and approved officially for eye use). Most people still get Avastin over Lucentis due to the lower cost. Basically if you need it - nothing will work as well as Avastin or Lucentis.

hi,
can avastin eye injections stop a womans menstrual cycle?
thanks
Sytemic side effectse from ocular use is rare. I am not familiar with dosages for systemic use for cancer so you would have to talk with oncologist about that.
