During my third treatment with Folfori and Avastin I had severe
swelling of the tongue and lips that was so bad I could not breathe
or talk. Today the Doctor told me no more Avastin, the event I
experienced was a life threatening one. I am lucky it happened at the
Clinic.
I had Folfori for 6 months in 2004 & 2005 with very good results
( I am stage 4 with mets to the Liver and Lung). I do not want to
scare anyone doing Avastin, I just want everyone to know what to
look for with any of these drugs. I will start Folfori next week
and pray that it will work for me again.
I have been reading this board every day since it
started and I admire you guys so much for all of the advice and
support you share. Holly, you continue to be the greatest
