temodar for injection

We know the tumor is in a slightly different area than it was originally. He is in treatment (Temodar for the second time) for the third recurrence of his tumor. We have always been told it is in an area where surgery has not been an option. The oncologist does say he believes it is a higher grade. We think he believes it is glioblastoma but he won't say that definitely without doing another biopsy.

She had a surgical resection near the end of November and is currently in her third week of Proton Therapy and chemo with Temodar. Her tumor was in the right temporal lobe and the remaining tumor they couldn't remove (about 10 percent they said) is on her right insula. Hoping to chat with other people in the same boat as her. What if any side effects did you incur on Proton therapy? Did everyone who had proton therapy to their brain have to be on a steroid? Did anyone NOT lose hair.

HI, I AM WITH OLIGODENDROGLIOMA,, NOW ON CHEMOTHERAPY-TEMODAR 350MG.

Glad to hear she is doing better. The steroids may have a bit of side effect themselves so if she gets a bit moody - it is the pills. Keep us posted and we wish you both well.

He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain. The oncologist put him back on a steroid last week for swelling in his brain. That is adding to his sadness and anger. He feels awful and is extremely depressed. We have gone back and forth with his oncologists, GP and yesterday his pain clinic (whom he doesn't like). We just can't give him any relief. I am very worried about him and would like any advice on what we should do.

Had inhect for pain in right leg several weeks ago - injection was to the right of the spine. Today I had another one but this time it was on the left side of spine--this doesn't make sense. Is there a reason for something like this?

s a stretch, but have you tried a yeast free diet? I saw a medical intuitive for a while who put people on this diet for a variety of reasons. Anyway, I've seen people come out of her office healed of a brain tumor and cancer. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself. The medical intuitive is Sylvia Flesner if you are interested. Best of luck to you! I keep you in my prayers. Stay strong!

Welcome to the medhelp neurology forum. Thanks for writing in. I empathise with you for what your husband is going though. Gliobastoma multiforme is the most common and most malignant of the glial tumors. Changes in personality, mood, mental capacity, and concentration may be observed along with the other symptoms of a brain tumor. Also the disease, its treatment must have been so very taxing for him, for depression to set in.

Thanks selma for the prayers. I know my DD will be grateful, she is very scared.

My SNB was done like yours around the nipple. My lump was at the 1 o'clock position also, but was > 5cm. According to my doc, he said that the injection was to follow the path of the lymphatic drainage system from the nipple to the armpit. From there he would pinpoint where the injection landed in the first lymph nodes it found. I had 1 node positive.

I went to pharmacy and asked for numbing cream (called Emla) if feels like when you go to dentist for filling but in your butt, put it on half hour before injection DH did first time injection last night and I told him to put needle in slow not jab it in and inject progestrone slowly not fast did not feel a thing. He was shaking in his boots to give me an injection but I told him he would make a great nurse...lol. Good Luck hope this helps.

Hi I believe Dr. Santos is not here any more. I am not a doctor I am a not the community leader and microbiologist. I can try to advise you. So, how is your finger now is it still causing problem? Is it painful, swollen or does it have pus? Do you have a fever? I agree if you had the tetanus vaccine it should be good for 10 years. So now you just have to worry about other infections since it is a puncture wound.

ve been dealing with my ependymomas for over 10 years now. I was diagnosed in 1998, and have had spinal tumors removed surgically twice. I've had radiotherapy and oral chemotherapy many times over the past 10 years, with some success. But they keep coming back for me, too. I currently have 5 in my spine (including one wrapped around the nerves in the sacrum area) plus 5 more in my brain, where the cancer spread after several years.

I will see the specialist again on February 22, but in the meantime, I would like to know if you know of other cases where there was virtually no change for a few weeks after an injection, but that the swelling eventually went down and the eyesight eventually improved.

I have had 9 injections, and 1 surgery, then 2 injections after that. After each injection the pain for me was unbearable, and it was that way every time. I agree with toolmaker though Try it, itmay help you. Good luck.

Mark Myerson at Mercy Medical Center can be a Synvisc ankle injection. I had to pay out-of-pocket for the injection since insurance will only cover for knees.

I just got my first injection for keloids on my sternum area and left upper arm 2 days ago. I have been running away from from treatments for the last 6 years, when my sternum area kelid had just formed and was really small. A lot of people scared me about the pain and I kept procastrinating the treatment for that long. 6 years has made my keloid 6 times larger. And the pain from the scar is like 10 needles from inside! Sometimes unbearable!

Is seeing a black disk in the field of vision after an injection of Avastin for macular degeneration normal? Please explain what that might be and whether he needs to go back to the opthalmologist's office. My father had one injection in January and did not have this effect, but another opthalmologist today administered this second injection and he is experiencing what he describes as a black disk. Thank you in advance for your help.

Doctor said we have to check bone scan before doing injection. And what is the side effect for a long term? What kind hormon that is common use and safe for this situation? I also found data here for 10-11 years old is 6.4 +/- 1 (normal) and micropenis is 3.
