Avastin (bevacizumab) "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 (bevacizumab) "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."
