Pam, you're right, no new areas is good, stable bone is good - and I agree, take the good news where you find it.

I know what you mean - the battle itself makes one weary...but somehow we keep putting one foot in front of the other BECAUSE we are greedy, for life!

Gordon Gekko aside, that kind of GREED IS GOOD!

Hang on sweetie.

Hang in there Pam. You are quite a woman !! Keep going. I hope you find some help for some of the bone mets even though the scan was stable. Take good care of yourself.

Seems reasonable to try for it as often as you can get it. I'd be curious how your onc interprets the papers in that link. I take them to mean that more frequent dosing can give anti-angiogenic benefits..without the cost or toxicity of Avastin. Regarding convenience, some clinics can accomodate unique schedules by giving after hour infusions by ER folk or on the onc floor in hospitals. I imagine it would be a lower dose so it might go a little faster.
