Hi there, my brother-in-law just completed his radiation treatment for 2 brain tumors that are metastasis of melanoma. He has a heart valve and is on Coumadin. We wanted to get info on the Avastin/Temodar clinical trials and if he would be a candidate for them. Any information or experiences that someone might have with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much. c.

Hi, so sorry about your brother's situation.
