Hi, my oncologist said last year had he met me earlier he would have put me on avastin, however that's not available now, but if I go on another chemo first and the results are not great we can then go on avastin. So for 6 months I was on chemo which kept the cancer at bay, neither growing or shrinking. I've since had a 4 month break and another ct scan.
The results have shown the cancer has grown and I have a new growth. I asked about avastin , but the drug has now been totally withdrawn from the nhs and no longer available.
I now feel whatever drug I'm going to be put on is going to be inferior, and I am thinking about paying private. Even downsizing the house in order to pay for it.
I'm so confused as to what to do.
