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.

Comment:
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.

Comment:
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.
