Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Take Gefitinib And Vorinostat Instead Of Avastin For Brain Tumor?
Our daughter has glioblastoma (brain tumor) Currently is on Avastin and we see many of the side effects listed. Can she go off of it, and try something else? When I searched in the Mayo Clinic about Glioblastoma two patient s documented their success one was on gefitnib and the other on vorinostat (Zolinza) Are those readily accessable and could our daughter switch? She is currently also on three medications for seizures...Lamictal100mg, Vimpat150mg and Levetiracetam 500mg all of them 2x daily.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, as matter of fact even if you go on changing the drug side effects would remains more or less same, if you are just worried about the side effects the in allopathy no single molecules you would find without the side effects more over disease need to be given more importance rather than side effects, in such great pathology always discuss it with Doctor, hope this information, take care and have a nice day.
