Just another thought...or two. I know you hear such terrible things about the chemo experience. Just for the record, my husband has never been sick from the temozolomide. As a matter of fact, he always says he feels better the week he takes it. He has had some skin issues that were taken care of by using Hydrisonol cream which you can ask your pharmacist for. It is very expensive for lotion but it has been a lifesaver. His skin started breaking down from the chemo to the point where his pants literally rubbed his skin off. He started using the lotion and viola, his skin was back. I also bought him some "butterfleece" pants from the Sahalie catalog that he wears night and day because they protect his skin.
As for the book I mentioned in the previous post, make sure you read the section on how to organize and keep track of your medical records. I bought a notebook right away and began tracking everything. Along the way we've had a few ambulance trips to the ER and my notebook has saved me when my brain has stopped functioning. It has all vital info in it including dr's name and numbers, all the MRI's he had, a log of all dr visits and important medical events such as surgeries, seizures, and so on.
