That is a good thing, I hope? And does the Avastin give you nosebleeds? It had mine bleeding almost constantly, but not always flowing. Blowing my nose would often lead to blood running down my chin.

Nope. Today was my 4th treatment and the only thing so far is fatigue.

My dad has some but it's always a small amount. Similar to what you may experience with a sinus infection and not your typical nose bleed.

BTW, when diagnosed he was given 12-24 months to live.

December will be 24 months and there are still two different treatments he can try if/when what he's on is no longer effective. At this point his tumor/anomaly hasn't shown any signs of growth in 6 months...
