LuAnn-

I was saddened by your first post and uplifted by your second - I haven't had the procedure, but like Sandy, am probably headed in that direction. I have mets to the lung and outside the lung, and have had many of the treatments you've had. I am so glad you are responding to the doxil - can they add avastin to it?

Kind regards,
