So sorry for your troubles... This is a breast cancer site, and we're not able to give you advice about lung or brain cancer. I'd suggest you ask your doctor, and/or see if there's a clinical trial going on. Avastin has worked well for some breast cancer patients, perhaps it would work for other lung/brain cancers, too. Good luck - PJH
