"Our family's experience was terrible; I do not know if you will print this. After only two doses, my husband suffered two of the extremely, extremely rare side effects. This is a quote from the drug company genentech. My husband had a successful surgery. Tolerated IV chemo and chemo pills extremely well. No weight loss, No hair loss. After avastin he suffered horribly, and died at the age of 55. I am still so devastated. I would not want another family go through what we went through."

"Avastin has stopped the progression of my colon cancer, cutting off the fresh blood supply and nutrition that feeds the main tumor."

"My mother, Ms. Violet Mary, was treated with Avastin in combination with Oxaliplatin. She had undergone 6 cycles of Avastin at a cancer institute in Chennai. She returned to normalcy and was able to survive for another 11 more years. Thanks to God."
