    Great effect after 1 dose. Dark spot has become hazy to opaque. Waiting to find out how effective dose #2 will be. Avastin price is right and assistance programs also available

    Shots in the eye are very difficult for me, however, if it saves my sight, it's certainly worth it.

    A week or so after my first injection (left eye) I developed 2 patches of red on my left cheek. Itchy as all get out. Visited 2 dermatologists but the patches were not in the derma range. Visited a general practioner and he recommended a contagious disease specialist. Have appointment next Tuesday. Hopefully he will have an answer.

    I started at every 4 weeks and progressed to every 3 months. A big mistake as far as I'm concerned. After a year and a half of improvement there was dramatic loss. I am set for my next injection tomorrow and am hoping for the best after that. Anticipation of the first was the worst. After that a piece of cake.

    fter my right eye had gone, avastin has kept my left eye near 20/20 for about 4 years. One eyeball shot every 4-5 weeks.
