So the two drugs were Avastin and Doxil, Doxil seems to be pretty toxic still. her white blood cell count would still go down, still have hair loss, very similar to chemo. While with Avastin her hair can grow back, her white blood cell count should be fine, her engery should be good, and her time in the infusion center should be shorter.
After talking to a few professionals, I'm pretty sure mom has decided to go with Avastin. She will correct me if I am wrong.
She will have three treatments of Avastin, and then they will do a CT scan.
Many prayers that Avastin will shrink the tumor and mom won't have any side effects.
Thank you for the love and support!

ct results
The tumor is still there, it hasn't changed.
Mom has 4 options for other treatments to try. She's brought it down to two. Avastin or another drug. Both are less toxic but have other side effects.
They will do a semi sugery to add a portal in a week or two.
She has a week to decide which treatment she will use.
Many more prayers please.
We are very grateful for all your love and support.
