Common Questions and Answers about Temodar patient information
temodar
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.
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.
I recently asked a quesrion regarding a patient with a small rectal cancer that could have been treated with radiation, but the radiologist consulted with does not recommend radiation as the patient had a cobalt implant 40 years ago for cervical cancer & thinks she has had too much radiation. She is 79 years old & NEEDS TO KNOW if there is another way to treat it without surgery requiring a colostomy.
After body has immuno response, such as produce antibody and huge amount of hiv specific killer T-cells, CD4 will have slightly increase, but CD8 has more significantly increase. Positive patient has CD4/CD8 ratio <1.
Skull osteomyelitis presents with headache as the initial symptom and then as the areas of brain and cranial nerves supplying that area become involved,patient may present with variable symptoms depending on the same.
If you are having any such symptoms,then I would advise you to consult an orthopedician and get MRI of the area along with gallium bone scans.biopsy of the bone may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and keep me posted Kind Regards.
Thanks, appreciate the information.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that maybe the oral contraceptive is not the best option for you. There are patches and vaginal inserts that might work better because they bypass your stomach. There are also injectable and implantable contraceptives that are very convenient to use.
Starting and stopping birth control can cause irregular bleeding, so that is not too unusual. I always recommend a pregnancy test too though, whenever the bleeding is different that expected.
Does anyone know of any good patient information or a workbook to try and reduce risk of forming another stone ?

The above link gives you a long list of what normal bloodwork numbers are supposed to be. Your physician is supposed to explain why you have jaundice, which is based on what some of those numbers mean if they're abnormal, along with his information from your history and symptoms and other tests he performs. A couple numbers may be off, but often it depends on how they relate to other numbers, etc., as to what they actually mean.
