Is Avastin bad?
Ken had his first treatment today and it really has hit him hard. Hopefully he will feel better in a few days.
Taxol can be somewhat hard on the system. One thing it can cause your feet and hands to be numb.

On the Avastin, it is a good drug, but it was just released yesterday that were some fake shipments.
I keep up with all this stuff through my Breast Cancer support group.

Here is the press release from Genentech the only makers of the Drug.

Prayers still going out for Ken.
