    hi to all that know me- and those that dont- dont lose heart!

    ' no evidence of disease' - how sweet are those words,(I have it in writing, on the copy of the report). sorry for those who havent got them yet, I hope it comes soon.

    hi all

    after having side effects from avastin, on the icon7 trial, they allowed me one more dose, and to report any side effects. I was really hoping that nothing would happen as I seem to be seeing this trial as a lifeline- chemo all done in may, and this was a way of still doing something, rather just waiting to see if it came back.

    after having severe headaches and vertigo, the dose wasommitted and a brain mri came…
