hi donna, hi everyone,

following your answer to dianne
i would like to tell you that i am currently managing my dadīs case.
he is 75 years old and has recently (august 2005) been detected metastases
at liver and lungs of an original colon cancer (resected in 1993)
since then we are doing oxaliplatin+ FU + leucovorin chemotherapy.
after 10sessions every 15 days and tumor has partailly shrunk (40%).. but
oxaliplatinum has reached its maximum toxicity in his body and it will be
deleted in future chemo sessions.

Marcelo:
What about Avastin? Why wasn't it used in combination with the
chemotherapy?
