Re: My Dad -- Avastin and protein levels in urine???? ...

[Guest guest]

All I can think of is that is drinks alot of water and other electrolyte

building fluids to flush out the protein.

I don't know of anything that would work. Just taking break from chemo

will help. They could reduce the dosage somewhat to avoid the build up

of protein... Be thinking about you all and keeping you in my prayers.

Hope all gets better soon.
