I read this article<\/a>\u00a0a few weeks ago about Avastin, which was at one time thought to be the great white hope for breast cancer. The article said the trial was abandoned because the tumors weren\u2019t responding.<\/p>\n

The article, of course, was factual, clinical as it should have been. It was in the New York Times after all. But I still felt duped and a little cheated that it didn\u2019t say a word about Dena or Kelli or Emily or that it had been Emily\u2019s last chance. It didn\u2019t say anything about Emily\u2019s last trip to Hawaii before the tumor in her abdomen officially took her life. It didn\u2019t say anything about the pineapple upside down cake she served at her 30th<\/sup> birthday party, or her unintended last meal of peanut butter and jelly. It didn\u2019t mention that she had begged to receive the drug even though it hadn\u2019t been approved or proven. It didn\u2019t say a thing about how excited she was to get it or how unresponsive her tumor was. It didn\u2019t say anything about Emily, nothing at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
