My 69 year old wife has evidence of tumour progression (recurrence following surgery, 6 weeks radiochemotherapy and 6 cycles of adjuvant temezolomide) on her latest MRI. One of the options for treatment we have been asked to consider is Lomustine chemo in conjunction with Avastin. Avastin side effects for someone in my wife's age range look pretty horrendous. Is there anyone out there who has been through a similar treatment regime or is aware of others experience, in particular what benefit if any is there to be gained.
