Sue,
Larry covered your question so well.

Yes, I was on Temodar for five rounds of 28 days. As long as I remembered to take my Zofran/anti-nausea pill before hand, I was ok. I forgot only once! Big mistake, but I learned from that experience.

In my case, constipation was a major issue. As my counts began to drop, I developed 'pechechia' sp?? Small red dots on legs mostly. That would last a few days...,maybe five. But my counts would rebound on their own ready for the next cycle.

The only reason I stopped was because of abdominal radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer... You have to be able to void your bowels soon, and I was afraid the Temodar would cause me big problems in that area.

I am NED in brain and body at the moment, feeling so good. Just not wanting to mess with this nice vacation and leave things as they are for now.

well, that was more info than you needed! sorry..
