Bevacizumab

Okay, I checked Wikipedia. I ignored all the possible side-effects, they are the usual, horrible, possibilities.

But does it work?

Here's what Wikipedia says:

(1) Bevacizumab slows tumor growth but does not affect overall survival in people with glioblastoma [that's me]

(2) [In 2009] ...approval for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme [mine]

(3) A 2018 Cochrane review deemed there to not be good evidence for its use in recurrences either.

So. Sooner or later the GBM will kill me -- but the drug may delay the end. That's good :-)

I wonder why the doc has only just mentioned the drug?

btw: No way I'll remember that name. So I'll think of it by the name that it makes me think of: Beelzebub...

I'm nobody's fool. Care to adopt me?
