Avastin Lawsuit

Breast cancer is an awful disease. Many times it can be cured, but often drugs are given to slow the growth of the tumors and all it does is prolong life. However, they have found that Avastin does not prolong life. In fact, it has many serious side effects that in themselves are life threating, thus a Avastin lawsuit has begun. In checking the Internet I was reading up on this drug and found the side effects could be heart attack, holes in the stomach, high blood pressure, and these are just a few of the side effects. If you or someone you know has suffered such side effects, they will probably want to contact an experience law firm to find out if they have a case. They will give you a free consultation.
