I went to the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Timothy F. Cloughesy, MD is the director. The Phone Number for them: 310-825-5321. There website is www.Neurooncology.ucla.edu
The drug I was on was Avastin. That website has a great article on the treatment I underwent. It saved my life. Because of the location of the tumor they were unable to operate. Now, a little over a year later I went to the gym today and worked out. Something I was not supposed to ever be able to do!
