Yes, it is a Good Day to Live!

I have been doing chemo for 7 mos. now, and my doc says I will only have one more because the complete response.  Yippee! Take that, you cancer devil!  I will be on Avastin for the remainder of the year and all of next year. This is the drug I helped put on the market with my clinical trial participation. Genentec (the maker of Avastin) is generously donating the drug for me as my own insurance company, Anthem Blue Cross, would not pay for it. Sometimes drug companies get a bad rep, but I think its all about the insurance gurus calling the shots. Anyway, I am very close to being cancer-free and that makes me happy!
