How long will Avastin keep ovarian cancer at bay?

When the best treatment available still isn't much good, many people probably don't want to know.

I know that the treatment I'm on is only delaying the inevitable by a matter of a few months. But I'm still imagining that once I progress on this treatment, I'm going to find a clinical trial that will actually help, even though realistically I know that's unlikely. I need the hope.

That’s the recently learned reality that I’m now trying to deal with. I’m trying to join our women’s cancer support group here to get more support but here in my rural area, besides not the best medical care, that’s been pretty much a bust as well.

Hope is a good thing. Even if not realized, it’s so much better for us than the alternative don’t you think?

I guess when Avastin stops working, there are 5 other chemo drugs they can try. I understand they have a far smaller chance of success. Can I ask if you’ve gone through that type of chemo treatment after your original?
