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.
ve now been through radiation and temodar, consults with Dr. Prados at UCSF. The tumor was still growing at last month's MRI. Now I'm on IV chemo, Avastin and cpt 11. Next MRI is in a week and we''ll see.
I'm so scared. I'm married, no kids, love my husband and can't bear having to say goodbye to him and all my beloved friends.
I don't know how to run my house any more.
The doctors at the reputable renowned hospital in Chicago claimed to have never seen a tumor this large in an adult. He received radiation and chemo for six weeks and remained on temodar for almost 18 months. The last ten percent of his tumor (near the brainstem but according to images not infiltrating into) did shrink a bit during treatment and has remained “dormant”. This all sounds amazing but he seems to be getting worse.
So very tired, and insomnia and everything. and forgot to take my pm dose of lamitrogine. I had a .... rash - and above the neck! but it was like that sunburn rash I used to get years and years ago, so I decided after copious amounts of research on the internet that I would keep it at 75mg for a couple of days and go up to 100. Because I am not taking lithium or anything else that makes me sleep or put on weight. Just no.
Schering-Plough CEO Fred Hassan said in an interview that those drugs include Nasonex, Pegintron for hepatitis, cancer drug Temodar, the Nuvaring contraceptive and the two cholesterol drugs, all of which have patent protection until 2014 or later.
Doesn't appear Pegintron will be any cheaper for a long time.

My 13 month old son has a rash on his hands, feet, & legs, I tried to look in his mouth and didn't see anything, but couldn't keep his mouth open long.. He also has some mild redness on his butt & has not been eating well. There is nothing on his stomach or neck and only a few little red spots around his mouth.
Has anyone else got a red rash covering there belly?
I am 39 weeks 5 days... I have developed a rash. I have eczema normally in the winter / change of seasons, but this is CRAZY. The doctor said they didn't think it was PUPP, but I am COVERED. I have tried the steroid cream the Dr gave me, calamine lotion, oatmeal bath, benedryl (which knocks me out cold for hours), witch hazel, cold compress and even baking soda paste oh and coconut oil. Nothing seems to ease the itch and if it does in one place it comes out in another. Any suggestions?!
Over the past couple of days, I've developed a rash. It's right where my bra hits, so underneath my breasts and in between them. It's annoying more than anything. I'm already top heavy before getting pregnant, probably about 36F, so on top of the girls hurting with pregnancy, they are now itchy. Also, no bra is not an option. Nothing has changed other than I'm now pregnant. No changes to laundry soap or bath soap or anything. Suggestions to help?!
Is it normal to get a rash on my lower stomach? It itches like crazy and I have little red bumps all along the bottom of my Stomach :/ I haven't ate anything different, took any medication, or used any new lotions or perfume.
t work so I tried lotrimin and it seemed to clear up in a day. This red rash lasted for four days. I saw my dermatologist when I got back home, but by this time it was already healing. I showed her pictures and she said that it looked like a fungal infection with intertrigo. I'm negative for hsv 2 at 16 weeks, so I know it's not that. I am positive for hsv 1 though, have been a for a couple years.
Does this sound like an hsv 1 genital infection?
What does this sound like?
I have a red itchy rash at the bottom of my scrotum that burns. I have also noticed many small white bumps there. I think it may be herpes but the thing is I'm a virgin and I don't even know if it's possible for me to have it.
Hey guys I'm 34 weeks and 2days. I have a rash all over my stomach and its really itchy. Has anyone else had this issue? If so anything I can get to put on it for relief?
