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.
A month ago my husband (41) had a tumor resection of a GBM in the left temporal/frontal lobe. He is still recovering from surgery and has begun cancer treatment (temodar& radiation) a week ago. He has a previous accident injury where he has struggled with neck pain for ten years. He has been on suboxone for probably 7 years now. He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain.
Patient made decision to treat his anaplastic astrocytoma with surgery and Temodar only. No radiation! What is the prognosis for this 33 yr.old male.
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.
One thing I can tell you is beware of certain chemos, like temodar , it can cause lukemia in people with NF, and radiation is also a no go for people with NF. Good luck.
Hi. How safe is the injection as a contraceptive and is there side effects.
i have been told that there is an injection you can have between certain ages to provent ovarian cancer?
I take my chemo treatment on Friday morning and do not get the Neulasta injection until Mon. morning. Is there a problem by waiting this long for the injection?
Today I went to the hospital to injection, I found there are some blood in the nurse's gloves (may be the last one's) and then she friction my vein with fingers, if If my arm have other people's blood and then injected into my vein, I have a risk?
Please consider me, I need a responsible answer.
I went to the doctors friday past to get tetanus shot the lady who was in before me was getting blood drawn when the nurse was givin me my injection she wasnt wearing gloves nor did she wipe my arm with alcohol or wash her hands if the lady before me had hiv and the nurse didnt wash hands after drawnig blood is there a risk to me her hands looked clean but she did touch serval surfaces and door knob before giving me the injection iam I at risk from this .
Is anyone else experiencing this. I think I really need some more injection sites to use besides the abdomen and the upper legs.
Really?
I started my welly injections at 16 weeks, and will have them til 36 weeks. Don't be nervous, I don't really feel them, no side effects for me either. Nurse did say some patients do get a rash at injection site. The only thing I'm concerned about is the weekly trip to the clinic exposing me to all the nasty germs there.
So I received my rhigam injection a couple he's ago. I knew something didn't feel right when I was getting it but I said nothing. Now I am 99% sure that it was accidentally administered under my skin instead of in my vein. Its swollen , bruised and tender to touch. Looks like there's fluid under there. I am waiting on a call back from my doctor. Has this happened to anyone else????
