Re: Abraxene & Avastin.... I was dx with lung mets in Jan 08 and did 3 months of A & A and then had a CT scan which showed that the larger spots were reduced by half and smaller spots were no longer visible. My hair had just really come back after 1 year off of chemo when I started with the A&A. It seemed to be thinning out so fast and was so annoying that I went ahead and shaved it. I have had very thin pitiful sprigs coming thru while on treatment but am just going to shave it until I am done. The side effects I have had are high blood pressure, nose bleeds, constipation and some fatique. I have been able to work fulltime thanks to WIFI at the chemo center and cell phone to stay in touch with my office.
I will continue on the same treatment for 3 more months and then another scan. Not sure where we go from there if the CT is clear. Sounds like I will probably be dealing with some type of maintenance treatment after this. Sure we like to have hair by Christmas !!!
