Hey again!
After several months, I’ve officially finished Avastin to help treat the severe swelling that came about after receiving gamma knife radiation for my parieto-occipital AVM. I had a follow up MRI that showed the swelling has drastically decreased, so no need for any more infusions, yay! I’ve unfortunately been dealing with some vision loss in my right field of vision as a result of the swelling that my doctor said is likely permanent, so I’m adjusting to that. But I’m hopeful that I’m close to feeling better here soon! Now just have to get off the decadron (still trying to ween off—I’m at about 1.5mg now and trying to decrease) and then of course, continue to deal with the AVM. But just wanted to share my experience with Avastin in case anyone else has to go through it. It personally was a big help!
