Found out i have another small tumor in my brain. Neurosurgeon out of town until Tues. so have to wait for his input. Lots of swelling around the old tumor is causing vision problems for me. The onc wants me to do WBR since these tumors have come up within the last six months despite the temodar. The docs don't think there will be long term cognitive problems since i am not over 65. I have reservations about WBR. Please keep us in your prayers.thank you. God bless. pammie

Penny (Jen's sister) Noticed your note. Have thought often about Jen's five kids and all of you as you seem a very supportive tight knit family. Very sweet of you to keep in contact with the forum. I always looked for Jen's posts and miss them. She wanted answers. Don't we all. Praying for all to be able to get through this difficult time. Please keep in touch. Prayers continfu for all the family. pammie

A very sensitive sore scalp was one of my big bothers after chemo. I had long hair which may have contributed to the discomfort when the hair came out. My scalp hurt more than any other chemo side effect. None of the nurses could make a suggestion and one onc i asked ignored me all together. I guess they don't know what to suggest for help so are silent. Yes, it is a problem and I feel for your mom. My husband shaved my head and that helped tremendously instead of letting it come out slowly. I wish i had know sooner into chemo to have it cut off. my best wishes and prayers for your mom. pammie

Wonderful news for mom and you and family. So thankful for that encourgement. Will be praying for a quick recovery over the UTI. pammie

So very thankful for your good news. Just wonderful. The docs are all human beings and have their own set of problems but we can't let them control us or our behavior. If he feels threatened by questions maybe a different doc would be better for you So thankful to God for your good news. pammie

I am taking Temodar. one week on and the next week off cycle for six months. Seems to have done its work with no new tumors so far. Fatigue and some intestinal cramps bother me when i take it but not as debilitating as the IV chemos. Some Zofran keeps me from getting nauseated. Seems like a pretty good drug at this point. praying it will be very effective for you Judy. pammie

Glad you have only one to zap. Much better than having the whole brain rads. will be praying for good results for you. pammie

Mark, how very nice of you to tell us how you are coping and staying in touch. So thankful you found a help group. Continuing in prayer for you. pammie

Agree that a second opinion should be sought out. We did that and are very glad we did or would be wondering if we did the right thing or followed the correct advice. If a doc or program feels threatened by a second opinion then something is wrong somewhere. I had mets to the heart when first diagnosed but they said i wasn't a candidate for surgery or radiation. By the grace of God I am doing very well.Will be praying for you. pammie
