I do remember reading about Avastin adding just a few percent points to OS or PFS, like 3% or something of that low nature. I would not take it for a long run.... Well, I would not take any chemo at this point for a long run, too... so, I am not a good point of reference.... hope your second Fury goes well...
Hugs, hang in for a trial... vilca

It was like I would blow a box of raisins out my nose - thick, hard, and lots of it. And sometimes there were bits of blood in it, but I never had actual nosebleeds. My friend with cervical cancer also took avastin and had the same side effect.
Other than that, I didn't have any major problems. It was my first line treatment, with FOLFOX, and it might have just worked because all my tumors really shrank afterwards.
