My Mom had galbladder surgeory and one kidney removed in May due to a mass on the kidney. When she went back for her check up there was a mass on the liver in stage 4, she had chemo for 9 wks we were informed that the treatment did not reduce the mass when she began treatment the mass was 12cm now it is 13cm and the mass has spreaded to the stomach , they began a chemo treament with Avastin. What does this medicine do and will it help.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query.it is chemotherapeutic which fight against tumor cells. Unfortunately it won't cure and results are not so good It may only prolong his life for several weeks or months, but also sometime it is not helpful at all. However, she should take it as doctors recommended since this is the only way to fight against his disease. Wish you good health. Regards.
