Thanks. I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who is an oncologist in our area and she said that avastin will probably not be an option any more because my mother had a pulmonary embolism in the hospital. We'll find out on Friday when we meet with the oncolocgist. She said that they will not usually give avastin any time after someone has a pulmonary embolism.
It looks like carbo/taxol will be it. We will keep our fingers crossed her cancer responds to it.
Have you ever heard if iv vitamin C and B17 are effective?
My doctor and others have said they won't give carbo/taxol/avastin because it's not a protocol yet --- I think you have to go through the trials unless you can find someone willing to try on their own --- they still don't know for sure that the triplet works better than the pair(carbo/taxol)
