Blogging in B Minor

It’s late so this is going to be very quick. Yet another change in the chemotherapy but this is how it is in the world of brain tumor treatment. I had a final set of research studies reviewed today and consensus is to move forward with a 7-day on, 7-day off, 7-day on, 7-day off program using Temodar to complete one cycle. The dose will be double the dose I was taking during the 6 week therapy post-surgery – 295 milligrams. I will be taking Zofran to control nausea and taking Bactram to prevent pneumocystis which is rare but can be life threatening if it develops. As before, I’ll just go in every Friday for a CBC to make sure my blood work all looks ok. It will be of paramount importance to stick to the diet plan. I have a plan that is documented in the Resource Library that is specifically developed to boost your immune system and fight against these problems plus fight brain tumors.

So, tomorrow night I will start the regimen. I have some trepidation about the dose but I also am keeping in mind that when I was on chemo before I was also undergoing concurrent radiation therapy. I will see how this goes.

That’s it for now…
