After reading posting of 4/28/08 concerning the usage of clomipramine I decided, why not? Our neuro-onc. had never heard of this usage but said it couldn't hurt. I wondered if a low-dose daily Tem. should be used in conjunction with this.
Brother dx. 9/11/07, inoperable GBM, almost tennis ball size. I posted the "Stable MRI but patient decling" message 5/4/08.
We've stopped the 5/23 Temodar after 5 rounds post rad/chemo combo. Will probably try the Avastin-CPT 11 and see if he can tolerate it. Worried about the 2-3% chance of stroke or hemmorage during treatment, but at this rate he'll just get worse and slowly die.
Anyone heard of patients having stroke during Avastin treatment?
