LOL!! Don't know if I can take all these questions

I think rads of any kind to brain make the BBB 'leaky'.
Temodar is an oral chemo that has shown good response in primary brain cancers, with SOME response in mets tumors.
Xeloda is technically small enough in molecular weight to cross the BBB. Just.
It is now thought that the original recommended starting dose of Xeloda was much to high. I've read that many docs are beginning patients at 75 or 60 or even 50% of that original amount. So, It would be worth a 'trial run' on it, should it come to that for you...
and thank you for your shared joy for me!
I don't believe this is a 'magic final bullet', yet for now it is a wonderful day!!
