Update to 6 month Avastin trial

Hi,

I've reached the half way point on the stage 2 trial for biochemical recurrence after definitive primary treatment failure. Avastin plus cab (lupron + Casodex ).

The usual ht (hormone therapy) symptoms in my case fatigue, memory, losing train of thought, emotions. No hot flashes so far.

This is my second time on 6 months of cab (combined Androgen blockade).

My present psa is 0.02 :)

How the Avastin effected the psa drop is unknown.

Trial stops the end of May then compare the 2 arms on length of time till bcr.

I sincerely hope this leads to a prolonged remission and the Avastin contributes to it.
It may lead to another treatment for this stage of the disease.

Best wishes to all

Gerry

Hi RalphV

Treatment frequency is 8 iv's 3 weeks apart.
15mg/kg (of weight)
I had no reaction to the iv, or other than very minor nose bleeds any other side effects

Thanks for the best wishes.
I really hope this leads to another treatment for BCR only with no other symptoms.
