Hi

Yesterday my wife's MRI revealed her tumour has grown since June. She had just finished her chemo treatment this week and had the scan to see if surgery, radiation and chemo since February had worked.

We are yet to talk with the medical oncologist, but our surgeon thought that possibly no surgery at this stage but Avastin could be an option.

I am keen to hear from someone who has been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma grade 4 that has also had Temozolomide treatment that was not fully effective and then consequently had the Avastin treatment. 

Was the Avastin treatment successful and compared with Temozolomide, how bad were the side effects?

Hoping someone can respond

Thank you!

  • Hi  I am rather sure that you meant to post this in our Glioblastoma multiforme group that you have posted in before as this would be the best place for you to connect with other folks who may be on the same cancer treatment pathway.

    The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups as each Cancer journey can be so different.

    You can also use the site search Mag tool to check out old posts about these drugs.

    All the best.
