Are there no downsides to Avastin? How long is a cycle?

  still harsh side effects. just not as brutal as chemo. the cycle depends. my mother is on it indefinitely.

  Your wounds won’t heal. It also costs a fortune. I don’t think it clinically makes a difference in survival rates either. My wife had stage 4 colon cancer and they used it in conjunction with her standard chemo treatments for a couple of sessions. The incision where her port was installed never fully healed so they took her off of it. Edit: when they took her off the avastin, her oncologist just said it was no big deal. They use it because it doesn’t hurt anything.

    Once she came off it her wound healed?
