Avastin
Hi Dace, I'm sorry for all of this nonsense (I also have 2 young children and stage IV BC). I was just at my oncologist's office discussing my next path and she had hoped to look at Avastin, but said that the studies that came out of ASCO showed more benefit to IBC gals. Don't know if that helps and I haven't looked this up specifically myself, but it is easy to look up the ASCO data.
Best, Best wishes to you!
Joy
