The update: Avastin has dramatically reduced existing tumors in frontal lobe. By 80%. That is the good news. Now, the complex news. The other tumor -- the one that grew quickly and caused all of her left side weakness issues -- has shrunk by only a third. It remains large and threatening and the doctor is doubtful that Avastin alone will knock it out. What he wants to do is continue with every-other-week Avastin and also supplement with an intense, focuses amount of radiation for five days. What he does not know is if her brain can take any more radiation. So he has to huddle with the radiation doc to figure that out. A positive report, but we have work to do on the most problematic tumor.
