Tumor was non-responsive to treatment after 6 weeks of daily dosage followed by 2 months of monthly follow-up dosing. This was combined with 6 weeks of radiation following surgery. After the second month of follow-up dosing, tumor was found to be re-growing.

Death after taking the medication

I have taken Temodar since 9/99 for metastaic melanoma of the brain. The doseage was reduced to 100mg for seven days one week on and one week off. I do have fatique constantly. I had a total of nine brain tumors and have been NED since 8/2000.

I am on a 23/5 cyle. I'm starting my 18th cycle today. I had two small metasticized tumore in my brain when I began taking the chemotherapy. The tumors had disappeared by the 3rd cycle.

I have just started treatment, 5 days once a month. 2 weeks off so far. I completed a series of radiation first. Extreme fatigue a lot of non listed symptoms. My hair is increaded in loss from when it did from radiation. Has anyone experienced hair loss from Temodar? I was told it would not happen.

Brain melanoma, taken temodar 4per day for 5 days,off for 23 days. Fatigued after taken was only side effect while using it. Taken ffor about 2 yrs and it no longer was effective for me. Now I find myself having pain in my stomach, on right side by ribs and back area, disorientated at times, unbalanced,insommnia,hungry all the time, feel very very weak..Dr. started me on Decradron for swelling in brain area because of Radiation Necrosis of the tissue surrounding brain tumor that Radiation reduced to 1/2 in size, then Dr, said tumor was not there but Necrosis was, so tit for tot, change one for the other??? I do feel the Temodar was beneficial for me with very little side effects( not unless Temodar side effects are associated with what I have now but just took time to show up)..
