For Glioblastoma Multiforme "Diagnosed with brain cancer four years ago at age 32. Surgery, Temodar, and radiation worked for the first couple of years. Then I got two more tumors, stopped Temodar, and started Avastin. In just two months, I've seen dramatic improvements with minimal side effects (constipation, nose bleeds, and mouth sores), all of which have responded to simple remedies. My last brain scan showed a large improvement over the prior one, and I've reduced my Dexamethasone dose substantially! I highly recommend!"

For Cervical Cancer "My mother was diagnosed with Stage IV cervical cancer a year ago. Doctors gave her 12 to 18 months of life. She went through 6 rounds of chemo, and tumors are not visible in scans. The doctor said she is one of the few people with this kind of response. Now she is on Avastin (third application) and doing great. Scans still clean and manageable side effects (mouth sores, dry skin, and fatigue). The doctor said he has seen cases of 30 rounds of Avastin and still responding. I hope this is the case for my mother too. Good to all of you, and keep your hope!"

For Ovarian Cancer "I've just finished round 4 of Avastin / Doxil. I have developed painful swelling of my fingers with blisters. Is there any treatment for this? I also have mouth sores. I take L-glutamine, gabapentin, and Cymbalta. I'm in agony and feel as if I'm being tortured."

For Ovarian Cancer "I had sores in my mouth, hands turning dark inside and cracking in the skin. I am tired, and I have nose bleeding, but not enough for medical treatment."
