raneyf Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I was wondering if anyone on Avastin only could let me know what their schedule was. My doctor was thinking about every 2 weeks, but he was doing some more research on that. Just wondered what the norm seemed to be on here.

wiesia Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think the doctors are still trying to figure that out. In the carboplatin/taxol +Avastin trial they used around 200/kg (I think) every three/four weeks. In the recent trial in Europe, Cisplatin/Gemzar +Avastin they lowered that to 100/kg (and after a while to 70/kg). The results were similar. My father was taking 100/kg every three weeks.

TracyD Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi Raney, My doc has me on avastin every four weeks, but I think many people here are on a three week schedule. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm every 3 weeks, same as the Taxol/Carbo/Avastin schedule. Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fight Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Raney, I am also on the every three-week schedule. Just like when I had chemo. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
