Leslie, I don't believe there's anything beyond Avastin currently available. But it looks like there's a new treatment currently being tested. It appears to be a long way from becoming reality, but you might want to track it via Google news alerts: AFP-464 from Tigris Pharmaceuticals. Also, check this link on research on androgen receptors, which also sounds like it could lead to treatment someday. As for supplements, you shouldn't take anything at the same time as chemo without checking it out with your doctor first. he or she will let you know if supplements are OK. Good luck - PJH
