Hi, I was on both avastin and alimpta for about 1 1/2 years with no extraordinary problems. I had earlier had maximum targeted radiation treatment, 3 months taxidere and cisplatin chemo, and a right lung lobectomy . I did not have brain cancer , I had lung cancer stage IIIA/IIIB with metastasis throughout nodes. I am hopeful that the avastin will similarly benefit you. Best Wishes, judg69
