Can you be more specific about what you mean by "switching"? Are you considering changing to Xeloda monotherapy (i.e., only Xeloda from now on, no Avastin), or are you talking about simply substituting Xeloda for 5FU so that your new regimen would be "Xeloda+Avastin" ? If the latter, then you would still have to go to the hospital for the Avastin infusions.
