back to today

Marie is currently taking chemo treatments. Temozolomide capsules. Seven days on....seven days off. Over and over again. This is not generally used for the type of tumor she has. It's normally used for a very aggressive, fast growing, malignant tumor. Remember, Marie has a grade II benign tumor. Are we running out of options? I don't know. There always seems to be new treatments. Advancements, based on research and trials. Things for Marie have been getting better lately. Improved balance, less confusion, a better sense of what is going on. So, maybe it's working. My understanding is, in mid February, Marie will have another MRI, To see if this treatment is succeeding. I am very optimistic.
