My temodar treatment has been going well. I have some nausea in the morning and use zofran for that but things are good. More pressing is my left arm and shoulder.
Essentially the muscles in my shoulder, bicep, forearm and sometimes wrist/hand contract and tighten up involuntarily sometimes. This just freezes it all up. Because this has happened so many times, on top of seizures, a few falls and new lesions – the pain is terrible while under this tension. I have an appointment later this month wiyj a nuerologist who injects Botox into the muscles in these cases to loosen them up. Hopefully that will quell this pain. I have another appointment next Monday for Avastin.
IF you’re in the Sacramento, CA area, I’ll be speaking at UC Davis on Thursday night at 6:30pm at the brain tumor monthly meeting. Use the contact form if you’d like information.
We were able to get away this weekend to Bodega Bay. It was so nice! Being on the coast withe wind in my face felt good since I havent been home to SoCal for 5 years. Here are a few Pictures fron Bodega Bay:

Hi guys~
Hopefully the Botox will work. I have severe jaw joint/facial muscle pain and they tried several injections of Botox for me.
Im glad you enjoyed Bodega.
Just wanted to say hi and let you know you are always in our hearts and most importantly, our prayers.
Many hugs~
