Hope that you enjoy days of bloody nose free days. The Taxol I remember cannot be any fun. I had some bloody nose (more crusty bloody) on taxol. I gained 15 pounds while on chemo and lost it, when I got off the steroids. What I hated more was that my face broke out from the steroids. It was so bad that I did not even want to go out in the public. I hope that your body enjoys being off avastin, and I am sure the nurses would miss you if you were not there for treatment. I just recently switched to a triple dose of herceptin and I swear they are starting to forget my name already.
