Avastin is a drug commonly used for patients with
ovarian cancer, but researchers have found that it may be effective only to a point. Cancer can be difficult to treat, resulting in lengthy recovery or the inability to return to work. You may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits if you are unable to work for a year or more.
Ovarian cancer is often deadly and can be very difficult to treat.
While Avastin can help prolong a patient's life, the effectiveness of this drug reaches its peak at 12 months. Once the drug has reached its peak, the positive effects begin to diminish.
While Avastin can help a patient to live without their disease advancing for an average of 1½ months, researchers hope to see more effective drugs produced for women suffering from ovarian cancer.
Avastin is not only used to treat ovarian cancer but has been prescribed for patients battling lung, breast, bowel and other types of cancer.
The diagnosis of ovarian cancer can be overwhelming. The last thing an individual needs to worry about it is their finances. While undergoing treatment and recovery, Social Security disability benefits may be available to help offset lost wages. Contact a
Social Security disability attorney today who will discuss your case and help determine eligibility.
