hilnoron reviewing I see Avastatin is in place for cancer treatement and Lucentis Licenced for my condition. Both have side effects. My tendancy is to go for Lucentis as this is Licenced but can you tell me which is the safest under test, has the lesser of the two side effects and give me a little guidance to come to a decision.
I have age related macular degeneration (wet) I have been given the choice of Avastatin or Lucentis?

Hi, The safest bet is that you contact your Doctor-Medical oncologist and make a joint desicion.
All meds as you know have side effects which are weighed with the benifets of the usage of the meds. Now not all organisms react in the same way maybe Avastatin at first will work better for you,but after a while you will commence to experince its side effects and the same goes for Lucentis. At the end of the day it is relative.
Again the best guidance you will recieve is from a professional, that is their job, that is why they studied for... so go for a Doctor in this case your Medical oncologist.
