    I'll be on it at least 12 weeks(if my body can take it) before my big review to see what happens but they were talking about maintainance doses after that so I don't really know.
    I will see my onc every 3 weeks as well up to that point then have a scan at 12 weeks.
    I have chemo every week at the moment not every 3 weeks as previous...Taxol one week followed by Avastin and Taxol the following week then repeat again.
    Don't even think I get a chemo break on this one.
    If my typing goes in to strange words it'll be because I haven't got to them in time to change them with chemo brain so please excuse me x
