The clinical trial that I am now trying will go till I have a bad scan (checked quarterly). It's Avastin and another drug (technical names Bortezimib and Bevacizumab). One hits tumor cell division and one hits tumor formation (onto existing blood vessels). I have to go in 4 times every 21 days and get an infusion (IV). One visit will last about 4 hours for a blood draw, doctor visit and 90 min infusion and the other three are straight to the infusion for 30 min.
First treatment was yesterday and I feel almost normal waking up today. I feel about like Pre-IL2 like I felt in late-Jan almost recuperated from the surgery. Very interesting! Hand numbness is reduced (which can get worse from this trial!), grip is easier to do and my weakness feels reduced. Odd but I'll take it!
Here's a link to the trial web page: click here.
Since today is the day that I might have started to have new side-effects from the new treatment, it is very encouraging that, instead, I feel more normal than before!
