Pleas explain "RASH AND BRAIN CHEMO" woztoo Sat, 10 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT My mom had 400mg Temodar in Feb.  that knocked her for a loop!  She could not walk a straight line and was grabbing furniture/counters for support!  Her med.onc's NP said that its not uncommon and actually my mom's case was mild compared to some that she has seen on Temodar.  It did pass but she was literally laid up for 8-10 days post Temodar!  Her counts bottomed-out to the low 30's - any lower they were going to transfuse her.  The next Temodar round they cut back the dose to 280mg and she did MUCH better!  Make sure to talk to your med.onc - he acknowledge that my mom's symptoms were neurotoxicity to the Temodar.  - NikkiMom 10/07 resection Lt. parietal plum-size GBM; rad/Temodar; 2 rounds Temodar; post Gamma Knife now - battling to control seizures currently Smilie Sat, 10 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/10/2008 Smilie wrote:My mom had 400mg Temodar in Feb.  that knocked her for a loop!  She could not walk a straight line and was grabbing furniture/counters for support!  Her med.onc's NP said that its not uncommon and actually my mom's case was mild compared to some that she has seen on Temodar.  It did pass but she was literally laid up for 8-10 days post Temodar!  Her counts bottomed-out to the low 30's - any lower they were going to transfuse her.  The next Temodar round they cut back the dose to 280mg and she did MUCH better!  Make sure to talk to your med.onc - he acknowledge that my mom's symptoms were neurotoxicity to the Temodar.  - NikkiMom 10/07 resection Lt. parietal plum-size GBM; rad/Temodar; 2 rounds Temodar; post Gamma Knife now - battling to control seizures currently  woztoo Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/10/2008 Smilie wrote:My mom had 400mg Temodar in Feb.  that knocked her for a loop!  She could not walk a straight line and was grabbing furniture/counters for support!  Her med.onc's NP said that its not uncommon and actually my mom's case was mild compared to some that she has seen on Temodar.  It did pass but she was literally laid up for 8-10 days post Temodar!  Her counts bottomed-out to the low 30's - any lower they were going to transfuse her.  The next Temodar round they cut back the dose to 280mg and she did MUCH better!  Make sure to talk to your med.onc - he acknowledge that my mom's symptoms were neurotoxicity to the Temodar.  - NikkiMom 10/07 resection Lt. parietal plum-size GBM; rad/Temodar; 2 rounds Temodar; post Gamma Knife now - battling to control seizures currently  woztoo Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Chemo brain...the feeling of fuzzy thoughts, lack of finding words..I didn't have a rash so I can't help you there. Sunflower13 Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Yes, I to have experienced all the above to one degree or the other. Still have days of unstableness and or confusion. Even after ten and then some. To me it's all part and parcel to this world in which I live. Stay strong in faith, God Bless all,  Chris  chefnnails Sun, 11 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 5/10/2008 woztoo wrote: On 5/10/2008 Cvillelarry wrote:"Very tired and wobbly" is the perfect description.  After a  few  cycles  you will probably  experience a  rash  and  chemo  brain  where  everything is  a  fuzzy.
