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.
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.
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.
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.

during treatment i was having diarrhea, nausea which i was told it was from treatment. i completeed treatment 1 week ago and i am still having nausea occasional vomit of mucous, loose stools and occasional severe abdominal cramps.. some days worse than others. could all of those mg of antibiotics have done damage to my stomach or intestant?
I'm 25 weeks and still have nausea and vomiting.
ve been taking smaller meals and I still get nauseas with certain smells but it does get better
I'm 24 weeks and still experiencing nausea? I've tried everything and its not helping. Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas?
I can't cope with this CONSTANT feeling of nausea is anyone else experiencing the same
I have gotten nausea off and on since about 6 weeks pregnant. Im 9 now and sometimes its so bad that I gag and my whole stomach caves in. It hurts. I haven't thrown up yet, although I think I'd feel better if I did. What can I do to make this nausea subside? I am against taking pills for it, even if it is ok by a doctor. Don't ask me why but I refuse to consume anything that has to do with medicine while pregnant unless its an antibiotic that I have to take.
