"35-year-old female. Tumor in chest wall with cancerous nodes on lung wall. Treatment schedule was so easy. Once every 3 weeks. I felt great. No side effects. Never sick. No hair loss. Worked full time throughout. Taken with Xeloda. Unfortunately, my cancer is more aggressive than the treatment. It only slowed the progression. Not a cure for me, but definitely give it a try. Loved it! Would have given it a 10 if it worked."

"I've just had Avastin along with chemo, and I've just been told that the tumor in my lung from secondary breast cancer has shrunk significantly. I may be put back on Avastin, hope it keeps shrinking."

"Have been on Avastin since December 2008 and have had very positive effects. I am off chemotherapy for the first time in 2 1/2 years and have been in remission since the 1st of February. I feel like a new woman, and I have not had any side effects."
