Anybody here on Avastin? I have Stage III and I'm on a clinical trial using Folfox with and without Avastin. I'm in the "with" group. The Avastin will continue for six months after the Folfox ends. The only side effect I'm having is nosebleeds. I had one last night when we had company and hid in the bedroom so I wouldn't upset anybody. Then I started feeling sorry for myself because I was all alone in the bedroom with a nosebleed so no one ELSE would get upset. *I* was the one having the nosebleed. I was the one with cancer. Why was I protecting everyone else? I should have had everyone fussing over me and taking care of me. I just have to learn to ask for what I need. I'm no good at that. I was a nurse for too long. An oncology nurse at that. I don't do "patient" well.
Anyway, if anyone else is on Avastin and having any similar or different experiences with it, I'd be interested to know. Especially if anyone is getting ONLY Avastin, like I will be in a couple of months. It's a very different drug from all the others.
