Common Questions and Answers about Temodar glioblastoma multiforme

I had an uncle with the same form as your mom, the glioblastoma multiforme - he also found it late and passed quickly but glioblastoma is a different form. It is the words after it, if any, that make for prognosis - as well as stage, previous health, location of tumor and a host of other factors.
I have a cousin with a thalmic cancerous tumor, and he is doing ok so far.
Since the diagnosis of Glioblastoma grade 4 in August, my husband has had the tumor removed and completed the round of radiation and chemotherapy - temodar. Recently I have noticed him being very short fused and argumentative. The slightest thing sets him off as if he had been personally attack. I have also noticed depression setting in. I'm assuming this is all part of the treatment and diagnosis.
Has anyone had a loved one with Glioblastoma multiforme? My husband has been diagnosed with this and had a tumor debulking last month. He is now on radiation treatment and is experiencing fatigue and his mind is now childlike. Will radiation reverse his cognitive thinking? Also, has anyone had a loved one who survived this cancer?
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.
today we found out my husband has a glioblastoma multiforme grade 4. how long with radiation and chemo does he really have? they could only get a small piece of the tumor out surgically.
My husband was recently diagosed with glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer. The neurosurgeon put him on Dilantin "for life." He isn't even going to check blood levels. My husband has not had any seizures. Does this seem appropriate?

my dad was diagnosed in July with glioblastoma multiforme and has gone thru his radiation and just be sure to love and support him thru it he will be very weak right after it is done but will pull out in about 45 min or so and then the chemo he was on went fine while he was in radiation but now he is having many side effects from the temador and we were just told on Fri that his tumor is back in 2 places and he is now having seizures so it is a very hard hall and i wish you and your dad only the
My brother in law had a grade IV glioblastoma multiforme. But, there are low grade tumors as well. Have you had surgery? Where do you live? I can suggest more things if I know what area you live in and so forth.
Another suggestion is that I belong to a great community at ***@**** where everyone has a brain tumor or their families are dealing with it. They have been very helpful. If you are in the U.S.
My husbands brother was 56 when he passed away from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) two years ago. We were his caregivers along with his sister and mother, and helped him with his meds and so forth and so we unfortuantely have a lot of experience with this too. A lot of the symptoms are common to the brain tumor itself and the damage that was done from removing it and post radiation etc. Did she just get these symptoms? Sure some of these meds can cause these symptoms too.
I did have hyperthyroidism about 15 yrs ago and took some high powered medicine that caused it to go into remission. I have been fine since. My mother passed away from a glioblastoma multiforme brain tumor @ the age of 59. I have a 1st cousin that was diagnosed about 5 yrs ago w/ MS. Please tell me what could this be. When I go to the doctor next week what should he test for?

My mother has been diagnosed with erythema multiforme. She has a rash (bump like bites on her legs). But nothing I see talks about swelling of hands as a symptom - which she also has (no rash on hands). On a sidenote she was recently diagnosed with renal artery stenosis, so I wonder if this isn't a vascular issue.
operative and post radiotherapy state of right temporal Glioblastoma. Pre and post contrast MR imaging of BRAIN was done using following protocol: Evidence of right sided craniotomy is noted. Irregular CSF signal intensity area is noted in all sequences in right temporal region with mild exvacuo dilatation of right lateral ventricle. Small nodular enhancing area with surrounding gyriform enhancement is noted in posterior aspect of right temporal lobe and there is adjacent dural enhancement.
I had my primary doctor say it was erythma multiforme and sent me to a dermatoligist, who said it was by looking at it. I then have it return and a new dermatoigist thought it was hives. they did a biopsy and it came back as hives,she said I might have the two things going on. I stayed on valtrex the first time for six months,with no help. the second round two different allergy pills,that did calm it down.I had abreif period that I thought it stooped.
To my knowledge, erythema multiforme is not most commonly seen on the lower lip. It is generally seen cheeks and tongue, then most frequently on the inner lip.
My doctor told me today that I might have a mild case of erythema multiforme in my hands.
1- is this contagious? Can I pass it on to someone by touching them?
I hope your husband gets the best treatment he can get and recovers. I would try any treatment possible. I wish I had done this when my mother was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma multiform tumor. There isn't much hope for someone with glioblastoma, however, I wish I had allowed her to be treated rather than opting for hospice care. There's a famous doctor at Duke University's Tisch brain tumor center named Dr. Allan Friedman.

My 15 year old son was diagnosed with Erythema Multiforme 9 weeks ago. His symptoms have cleared after being treated with 40mg of Prednisone for 10 days (plus a taper of Predinsone for an additional 10 days). He has recently suffered a shoulder injury (dislocation and separation)...could this be related to the high dose of Prednisone he was on? Also, during physical therapy for this shoulder injury the therapist taped his shoulder...
